SERVICES
01
At Touchstone, we are an independent recruiter that is dedicated to developing deep working relationships with our clients. I work alongside company partners to attract candidates from across the UK and internationally, and offer specialised, bespoke, knowledgeable, and collaborative search functions to help place the best candidates across various industry sectors.
Adopting a professional yet personal approach, I like to work as a true extension of your team by fully integrating myself into your business. Being part of your company and its culture helps me to understand your requirements; learn what makes your business unique; and discover the best type of candidate that will be most suitable for you. This gained knowledge and insight will help to offer staffing solutions to meet your recruitment needs.
