Revolutionising recruitment for a brighter future

At HRGO, we have one purpose: To leave people better than we find them. Since 1957, we've been on a mission to fix what’s broken in recruitment, ensuring that hiring talent and finding work can be a brilliant experience.

The only workforce partner combining tech and touch

As a leading UK recruitment agency, we’re all about making recruitment seamless and stress-free. Our unique method? Blending smart technological solutions with a genuine personal touch. We’re not just talking the talk – we’re automating and digitising the transactional parts of recruitment, so we can focus on what really matters: real connections and real results.

By investing in innovative technology and creating a range of value-added services, we’re also attracting the best talent and keeping them. This isn’t just about growth – it’s about delivering a recruitment experience that truly stands out.

Our story

Our story began in 1957 when our founder, Betty Parkinson, had a chance encounter on a delayed train that sparked the idea for a recruitment agency. Since then, we've grown beyond being a recruitment service provider; we are a family business committed to making a positive difference in people's lives.

With innovation, integrity, and a relentless focus on people, we pride ourselves on being honest, transparent, and ethical in all our dealings. As evidenced by feedback like "Half the things you said we could do in that meeting I didn't know could be done," we deliver beyond expectations, offering a product and service that outshine our competitors.
