Andrew Bailey founded Andrew Bailey Resourcing Services (ABRS) in 1999 after becoming frustrated with old-fashioned sales techniques at his previous job, growing the company over 15 years without any borrowing to become a thriving recruitment business specializing in technology roles; ABRS finds talent through their extensive database, networking, events and online advertising and works with both established companies and start-ups, receiving positive feedback from clients praising their understanding of their businesses and ability to find the best candidates.
2. Ideally we would love the chance to
tell you all about ourselves but we
know how we think and we often
like to do a little research before
we make contact with a supplier…so…
At the beginning, no big
bang here, just Andrew
Bailey a technology sales
professional turned
top-billing technology
marketing recruiter at
Michael Page, Manager of
the most successful team
in the UK and about to be
made the youngest Director
in company history.
Frustrated by old fashioned
sales techniques and lack
of investment in IT, Andrew
believed he could do things
better so he sold his Porsche
to fund his start-up and went
it alone to create Andrew
Bailey Resourcing Services
in 1999.

WHAT
OUR
CLIENTS
SAY.
“I’ve used ABRS now in many roles. I have to be honest and say I use whichever
agency gets me the right people... so it must reflect well that I have mainly used
ABRS for some time, clearly showing that your team has resourced well for
me. I will without question be using ABRS again in future roles, as and
when I require staff”
Anthony Heath – Pearson
“We receive a consistent and reliable service from ABRS. Their value-add lies in a
clear understanding of our business coupled with an ability to rapidly select and
deploy the best individuals to support our projects. The ABRS team are dedicated
to making things happen for us and I look forward to building on the relationship
we have established”
James Peters - Hailo
“ABRS have the expertise to cover quite divergent roles and levels of seniority –
from tech support staff to senior QA to lead programmers. They were able to take
our briefs and very quickly adjust their screening techniques to find and present
only exceptional matches. End result was a higher percentage of candidates being
brought forward for interviews, saving me valuable time. ABRS are very profession-
al, great communicators and very responsive. I’m very happy to work with them”
John Eikenberry – Livedrive
