What our clients say: “The Focus approach to doing business is second to none: they have a deep and profound knowledge of the FS marketplace and work in a genuine partnership to deliver on their promises. Above all else, their teamwork, ethos and commitment are exceptional - your expectations will be exceeded.” - Director, Wealth Management “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.” “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 or replace staff.” - Head of Campaign Management, Lloyds Group Testimonials
