About Change

“I have worked with the Change Group for the last three and a half years in the capacity of a talent supplier, as well as, placing me in my current role.

What makes the Change Group stand out from most other recruitment firms is their knack for understanding the culture of a company while building a strong relationship. This process starts long before getting into the specifics of the role and allows Change to find the best candidate for the company and culture rather than just matching a job description.”

Testimonials

Toby Monk, Christie’sChange have been supplying Christie’s with talent for 11 years now, in my experience they have been flexible and adaptable to our requirements as a business; and this has led to a strong relationship. The transparency they offer is uncommon in the recruitment industry, and is what makes the Change team stand out.

Change have introduced candidates across a wide range of levels and functions within Christie’s, from trainees to senior management. For me a good measure of an agency is what their candidates say about them, and the feedback from those placed by Change has been overwhelmingly positive. Change are a valued supplier and I would highly recommend their services.

Ursula Ferreira, Restaurant StoryRestaurant Story has worked with The Change Group since we first opened our doors. During this time The Change Group has helped us place our Head Sommelier and Restaurant Manager within Front of House, as well as, a number of skilled chefs for our Back of House team. As our business is now growing and diversifying, we are pleased to have Change come along with us on this journey, as they help us recruit for additional employees for our new projects. It is always helpful having a recruitment partner you can rely on to find you the right staff because they know your business and understand your company ethos. There are a number of elements that make The Change Group’s service stand out from that of other recruitment agencies, the first being their thorough work ethic and processes. Many members of the team at Change have taken the time to dine in our restaurant, giving them a better idea of what we are about and what we are looking for when hiring new staff. They also recently sent out a press release for us detailing the placement of our Head Sommelier which we received a significant amount of media coverage from including follow up articles. This is an added benefit I have never experienced from a recruitment agency before and I feel it really showcases their desire to partner with their clients and form long lasting relationships. I would highly recommend The Change Group to anyone looking to recruit within the hospitality or luxury sectors and look forward to working with them in the future.
