About Us
7. AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR SERVICES
Focused on Clients

Financial Services companies, we have developed a way

This customer focused and partnership centric premise,
offers us the chance to get to the heart of a business’
needs, clearly identifying how best we can add value.
As a result, our clients can feel confident in the knowledge
that our support will be tailored towards their needs, not

core prowess of contingency based, ‘ad hoc’ recruitment,
we aim to deliver a service that integrates seamlessly
within our clients preferred operating procedures.
Our continued delivery of exemplary standards, has led to

players and marquee institutions within the Financial
Services sector.

“I have been using Focus now for some time and I have
always been impressed with their knowledge of the
regulated market, the quality of candidates they provide
and the way they approach building solid relationships
with the business. They are always open to ad hoc
requests and their ability /motivation to act at pace is
something that I need in a recruitment partner. I look
forward to continuing the solid relationship we have.”
- Re so urcing Partne r, Barclays
“Focus has succeeded where many other recruiters have
failed before; they are driven to understand the needs of
my business rather than simply focusing on placing one
of their candidates . They always provide an extremely
personable & efficient service, working closely with me/
my Company to identify candidates who are not only
highly skilled, but who add an extra dimension to my
team. I would happily recommend them to any
professional business looking to grow orreplace staff.”
