About us

Dedicated. Honest. Ethical. Professional. Passionate.

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.

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.
