May Campbell JavaScript Recruitment Consultant & England Rugby Player

I have been working at Understanding for the past year now and it has been an amazing experience! I worked for my last business for over 5 years and wanted to make a move to somewhere with a fantastic culture, great progression opportunities and a very solid client base. I can safely say all of these factors have been met & I've loved every moment of it! I would highly recommend to any experienced Recruiters looking to make a move! Contact Us

Nick Drain Principal Account Manager

Working at Understanding Recruitment offers individuals the opportunity for personal growth and advancement within the company. Our supportive environment encourages autonomy, enabling employees to take ownership of their work and make independent decisions. Moreover, our commission-based structure provides the potential for financial freedom, rewarding exceptional performance and dedication. Leadership Careers

Anna Heneghan Head of Machine Learning & AI

I love the autonomy and focus on personal development. I am encouraged to think outside the box and innovate. There is more of a focus on quality over quantity which is really impressive to me. The people are also fantastic and like-minded. Everyone gets on with each other and goes above and beyond to make people feel welcome. It was always going to be a bit of a nerve-racking experience for me as I had only worked for one company prior to joining. Everyone was so welcoming and I felt part of the business from day one. Leadership Careers

Arjun Gillard Head of .NET

Everyone at UR is hugely supportive of each other. We celebrate successes as a team and we show compassion and support others when things don’t always work out the way we would like. Overall, UR places a huge emphasis on its values and it’s great to see an organisation that is an advocate for collaboration and setting high expectations with a strong reputation. Benefits

Charlotte Young Head of Java

Working at Acceler8 Talent has given me the opportunity to work on the fore front of a brand new technological revolution. The job is not the easiest, especially when trying to learn this technology but the people I am doing it with everyday and the flexibility of the company make it much easier. Grad Careers

Jake Whitcomb Recruitment Executive - Acceler8 Talent

The best thing about starting my career in Tech Recruitment is the amazing training and scope we have here. I'm continuously learning and developing my skillset, speaking to amazing people daily, whether that be clients or candidates, and I've learned so much about different industry sectors, too. Culture & Diversity

Danielle Blake Senior Recruitment Consultant

I've really enjoyed my first two years at UR and feel that I have significantly improved as a recruiter. This role has enabled me to work to build out my network and scale business across areas like AI, Biotech and FinTech etc. Having the chance to recruit across Europe and moving back into management is something I have enjoyed! I look forward to seeing what the next few years bring!

Cengiz Jaffer Principal Recruitment Consultant

I chose to join UR because of the unique and collaborative approach to sales that the team demonstrated. I like that everyone is always gunning for the same goal, creating a very supportive and healthy environment. Experienced Consultants

Sarah Giles Head of Python - US

I had about 4 years sales experience when I joined Acceler8 Talent as a trainee. The environment at Acceler8 is highly collaborative where teamwork is encouraged. The team is committed to providing support to each other, especially during the fast-paced recruitment cycle. Benefits

Paul Riley Recruitment Consultant - Acceler8 Talent

I have learnt from friends and co-workers that have worked in other recruitment companies, that UR is not your average agency. While we have KPI’s and targets like other agencies, the most important thing is us as the consultants. You have the ability to plan your career and almost build your own business within the business… this really drew me in. Benefits

Working at UR is great, it gives me the flexibility to develop my career outside of rugby, while still playing! Browse Jobs

Sam McBroom Director

My first 9 months at UR have been nothing short of a rollercoaster, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I have experienced the true lows of recruitment, but I have also enjoyed the incredible highs that come with it, and more importantly, I have felt entirely supported in everything I do every step along the way. I honestly couldn't imagine a better company to work for; the culture is everything here and I love coming into work each morning to work with everyone! Grad Careers

Kirsty Myers Java Recruitment Consultant

I mean where do I start, UR has given me the opportunity to earn very good money within a culture like I have never been involved with before. To the point that regardless of the money the friends I've made here in my team are like family, not just work colleagues. Grad Careers

Harry Bullock Data Recruitment Consultant

The main reason I joined Understanding Recruitment was the core values the company hold. The family feel and togetherness of the business have been displayed since I started in January. Since day one, I have been warmly welcomed into an incredible team where I have developed key skills and collaborated with talented and supportive colleagues, that I hope to share an exciting future. Join as a Trainee

Archie Oliver Golang Recruitment Consultant

Initially, it takes time to learn all the technical jargon but that comes over time with experience. The training modules are really great here though and really helped set me up for a successful career. There can be some long hours sometimes, but it goes hand in hand with big financial rewards.

Tom Rankin Head of Solutions & Associate Director

The team environment is amazing! Everyone is very supportive and that's been evident even throughout the pandemic. I was made to feel a part of the team and they've been happy to support me in everything that I've been doing. I was also impressed by the progression routes and the company vision itself. There are clear career progression routes and structures in place to reach your goals. They are incredibly supportive and offer the right training to help you achieve above and beyond. Media Hub
