About Us
Like all good business start-ups, Roberts
and Barnes was born out of necessity.
With the challenging economic and social climate of 2020, there seemed to be a growing need for a more robust, adaptable and cost-effective recruitment business to support employers in such uncertain times.
With over 30 years' combined experience in the recruitment market, our two founding Directors felt they could offer so much more working independently, while reducing their overheads and passing these reduced costs onto the customer at the same time.
Based out of our offices in Stourbridge and Worcester, we strive to offer a totally personable and consultative approach to each collaboration we take on, with the ability to cover the whole of the West Midlands.
"Recruitment doesn't need to be complicated or so expensive...."
Roberts and Barnes is an independent recruitment organisation with over 30 years' combined experience hiring for SME & Blue chip organisations.
By working as an independent business, we have been able to significantly reduce our overheads whilst still offering an exceptional, personal service to our clients.
In short, we believe Roberts and Barnes can offer 30 years' worth of experience to rival any other recruitment business whilst passing the cost saving on to you.
First-hand knowledge, extensive experience & a true consultancy service
Recruitment is a people business, with individual requirements and needs, depending on a HUGE range of factors....so why do recruitment companies currently offer a one size fits all solution to hiring?
We understand that hiring for an Operations Director requires a totally different approach to someone recruiting for a graduate position and at Roberts and Barnes, we take on every assignment as a unique project, tailoring a package specific for your needs.
With our first-hand knowledge of the local employment market, we can advise you on the best approach to find the right people when you need them.
"Ok, so what now ?"
We're sure you will be sceptical. So, why not do some research? Feel free to browse our website and LinkedIn profiles which contain our experience as well as testimonials from previous customers.
Happy so far? Then let's meet!
We're sure you must have questions about us and our background before we can work together and ultimately, you'll want to see who will be representing your business when speaking to potential employees.
From our side, we need to understand a company's culture, its people and the environment to ensure we make the right match. Yes, finding particular skill sets is a challenge, especially in today's market but that's not half as difficult as deciding if a candidate will fit in your current team.
