About this company

Oliver Rae is an established Recruitment Business that devotes it’s time to improving the candidate and client hiring experience. Here at Oliver Rae, we aim to undersell and over deliver on all aspects of client interaction, we have a strong emphasis on communication. We know that many other agencies in our sector don’t get this right and that communication is not always friendly and rarely on time.

We aim to transform what is an ordinary business sector and deliver exceptional business service, this is what shapes what we do every day. From time-to-time things can go wrong, a candidate might not show up or a competitor leverages a loophole that allows them to take advantage of the work force. That’s not us. After years of working in this sector we understand that to truly offer remarkable service we need to be a partner to the candidate and also the employer. We offer a transparent, friendly, and professional service focused on the things that matter – Results. With offices located across the West Midlands that supply into the following sectors. Industrial, Manufacturing, Engineering, Food Production and Commercial
