The Vision
Chase and Holland was founded by two recruitment professionals who with many years of experience in markets throughout the UK, simply felt a need to offer a higher level of service to candidates and clients – offering in essence a truly consultative approach.
Their vision for Chase and Holland was to become a successful national specialist recruitment business whose successes and growth stemmed from not only the consultants working for the business but the service those consultants provided to the market.
As you can see from the timeline above, today we have achieved much of that vision. With moves in late 2010/early 2011 to larger premises for both of our offices (both sitting on the M1 network) and the consistent growth of the teams, we enter 2011 with some extremely positive achievements. However we strive for more through further growth in both our own headcount but also geographical location/specialisms offered. We will not however lose our passion for recruitment nor the level of service we provide that has given us our successes to date.
So what do we do?
Currently our specialisms lie within two areas – Finance and HR. We are not a generalist. By specialising in a select number of areas it allows our consultants to have a detailed knowledge and understanding of the roles they recruit for.
With regards to locations, our North Midlands/South Yorkshire division comfortably covers South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire whilst our East Midlands division looks after Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire.
You will find us very open and honest in our approach to work. We will only offer solutions to you which we believe are right. For clients we will not send insignificant CV’s to ‘pad out’ a shortlist and for candidates we will only talk to you about roles we know are right.
Our specialisms will of course develop further over time and will be brands that we genuinely feel suit market requirements. When will these new brands appear? When we are confident we have the right people with the strongest technical experience in place to successfully service requirements.
