From the beginning
(not the big bang, but a little more recent)
It’s about networks, opportunities and connecting exceptional talent with exceptional roles.
So, what are we all about and how did we get here?
Our Vision
Shard Recruitment was created to redefine the recruitment landscape for professional and technical careers, our aim is become the to-go supplier for recruitment and staffing solutions.
Our Process
We want to earn the trust of clients and candidates, working collaboratively with both and looking to offer a game-changing attitude to finding and retaining the best talent for the best clients
Our Mission
Our mission is to connect great opportunities with great people and to empower career development and progression.
Our Team
Ultimately, we believe in providing a client focused, dedicated service to customers and job seekers alike and a desire to be good people to do business with.
We're about people
New kids on the block?
Not exactly.
We started in 2007, initially providing contract surveyors and project managers under the banner of ‘Red Box Associates’ and whilst the core business back then was still cost consultancy services, we developed a niche in finding great people to fulfil a variety of roles for our existing clients.
Over the years this service has evolved to include providing permanent and temporary/contract staff for a variety of professional and technical disciplines, to a wider, more diverse range of business sectors.
Fast forward to now, and SHARD Recruitment Ltd is our new business dedicated to providing recruitment and staffing solutions for the benefit of new and existing clients.

Community
In the city...
We’re active in our local business community, being members of the Nottingham City Business Club since 2018 (one of the oldest business clubs outside of London) we like to keep our finger on the pulse of local and international commerce, but our reach extends far greater than our Nottingham base, working with clients throughout the UK and Europe.

Your Journey to Work
Whilst SHARD Recruitment focuses on professional and technical roles, we support many initiatives that aim to provide work, education and training opportunities to people from a diverse range of backgrounds. Our Change Lanes initiative is designed to be a gateway for people to embark on a different path, be that training and education or work opportunities and forms part of our ESG programme.
