The world of work is changing – and it’s about time. Traditionally, recruitment has been perceived as a cutthroat industry dominated by sharky salespeople out to make a quick buck.
At SR2, we’re proving there’s a better way. That the road to success isn’t built on one-off transactions, but on meaningful relationships. That soaring ambition and socially-responsible values can go hand in hand.
We believe recruitment should focus on long-term impact. That’s why we became the first UK Tech recruitment agency to achieve B Corp certification. For us, the certification was the stamp of approval that validated we were doing things the right way. It’s a badge we carry with pride alongside our logo.
Our brand has proven to be a magnet for purpose and impact-led professionals – whether that’s our team, our candidates or our clients. People today want to make an impact with the work they do beyond lining shareholders‘ pockets. We exist to connect them, building meaningful relationships along the way.
Why Being a Purpose-Driven Recruiter Matters
You’re Part of Something Bigger 🌍
Working at a B Corp-certified company means your role isn’t just about filling jobs. It’s about driving change, one hire at a time.
Whether we’re helping impact-driven companies in Greentech, Cleantech, and Healthtech scale, connecting them with like-minded talent, or reinvesting in our communities to create lasting change, everything we do serves a greater purpose.
Expanding into Clean Energy was a natural extension of this vision. This sector is making vital strides towards a more sustainable and responsible future for our planet, and we’re proud to be part of that journey.
It’s about more than just filling positions. It’s about contributing to an industry that will shape the future of our planet. By placing top talent in renewables, we’re not just hiring – we’re helping combat climate change and championing companies making a real difference.
People Over Profit ❤️
We’re here to prove that a people-first approach can lead to greater impact and greater profits. The two can (and should) go hand in hand.
Let’s be real – the recruitment industry can be brutal. We’re talking:
🚫 High turnover
🚫 Long hours
🚫 Lots of rejection
A recruitment business can be a tough place to be, even at the best of times.
A career at SR2 will challenge, reward, and push you to be your best. Our expectations and our standards are as high as they come; we want to make a major impact, both inside our industry and outside it. But our priorities are never at the expense of nurturing long-term relationships, placing candidates where they thrive, and working with companies that align with their values and ours.
Success Looks Different Here 👀
We don’t force square pegs into round holes in the name of hitting targets. Yes, we work with urgency and excellence for our clients – but never at the expense of quality or long-term partnerships.
We see success differently. For us, it’s about placing the right people in the right roles, with the right companies, not just any old mismatched role to get the job done and get a fee in. It’s about helping our partners grow sustainably with talent that shares their vision and values. And when that alignment is right, it creates loyalty, impact, and lasting success.
Since its conception in late 2017, SR2 has thrived on a culture where success doesn’t come at the cost of impact. You can strive for excellence, break records, and build a thriving career – all without compromising your integrity and your values. That’s the SR2 way.
The Future Is Purpose-Driven
More than ever, candidates (and recruiters) are seeking more than just a paycheck. They want workplaces that reflects their values.
So, what does purpose-driven recruitment look like?
🤝 Taking pride in shaping careers, not just making placements.
👥 Working with a committed team that values success, but never at the expense of people.
💌 Giving back: SR2 has donated over £287,000 contributed 2000+ volunteering hours to causes that matter. And we’re not stopping anytime soon.
You can make a major impact on your career, your earnings, the recruitment industry, and the world around you. That’s why SR2 exists. That’s what we offer.
We’ve built our business on the idea that by being good, we can do good and use our success as a force for good. Historically, many have believed that pursuing a career in recruitment meant sacrificing your integrity in the name of success.
SR2 is here to prove that you can have both.
If you’re looking for a role that’s more than just a paycheck – with a firm that actually gives a sh*t – we’re hiring.
