Here’s to the next 10!

10 years ago Douglas Jackson was born, what a ride it has been.

We are so proud of the growth and development of the business, over what has been a challenging economic backdrop and a constantly changing customer landscape.

The recruitment industry has changed substantially in the last 10 years and Douglas Jackson continues to strive to offer an ever improving service proposition to our customers.

Our consultants are respected judges at many of the industry awarding bodies and attend more industry events and conferences than anyone else in our sector.  Meeting face to face, networking and continued learning, are key to our success and ensure each of our consultants stay ahead of the game and have the best insight and knowledge, to understand ‘what good looks like’ and help our clients identify, attract and hire, talented, skilled and experienced professionals.

In addition to the traditional values and personal touch that were some of our founding values, we also recognise the changing digital landscape and innovations across our sector.  In the last 12 months alone, we have invested in an upgraded CRM and search tool, enabling us to identify and access talent more efficiently and across the multiple channels now available.   We have also procured a new digital solution for our retained customers; Douglas Jackson Search, which offers a more involved, transparent service for our clients, job and behavioural profiling, video assessment, competency interviews and market bench-marking.

Over the past 10 years we have developed industry and vertical market specific consultants who specialise in; Executive Search, Retail, Finance, Insurance, Travel, FMCG, Utilities, Telecommunications, Housing, Construction, Public Sector, Planning, Insight and Analytics.

We are extremely pleased to have supported many candidates in improving and enhancing their career; we have helped relocate individuals and their family to South Africa, France, Spain, Germany, Malta, The Isle of Man, Gibraltar, The Czech Republic, India, as well as placing Directors, Heads of Department, Managers and Analysts across the whole of the UK.

We are proud to have supported many FTSE 100, globally recognised and trusted brands as well as innovative, start-up organisations. Many of who have reached out to us due to the difficulty in hiring a specific skill, or right cultural fit, or, for emerging roles across Chief Customer Officer, Customer Strategy, Customer Intelligence, Customer Experience, Digital and Omni Channels.

It has been a great 10 years.  The Owners and Directors would like to thank each and every one of our dedicated team, who are the face and voice of our brand and deliver the professional, quality led recruitment service we provide.
