Select Appointments

General information

Welcome to Select Appointments

Whether you are an employer looking for the ideal job seeker or a job seeker looking for your dream job you need go no further. At Select we take the time to listen and really understand your needs.

Select Appointments was established in 1980 to provide a high-quality and personal recruitment service to employers and job seekers, specialising in the business support sector across a variety of industries.

Our name was chosen with considerable care and we continue to adhere to the dictionary definition of Select – “chosen for excellence – pick out as best or most suitable”. This definition forms the basis of our company culture and our commitment to a quality service that far exceeds that which is usually found in the recruitment industry.

As your local business partner each Select office provides local recruitment knowledge and expertise supported by a major national recruitment brand.

Operating our successful franchise model Select currently has 27 offices throughout the UK with exciting development plans to increase this number to 100 over the next five years.

We are also proud to be members of both the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and the British Franchise Association (BFA), the governing bodies for Recruitment and Franchising in the UK respectively.

Select also operates two sister brands:
•Parkhouse – industrial recruitment experts specialising in warehouse, driving, production, technical & engineering, and facilities & maintenance
•Select Hospitality – finding hospitality jobs in the food & beverage, chefs & kitchen, front of house, operating, waiting and events sectors

In 2012 Select was acquired by the Staffline Group Plc, a recruitment, training and out-sourcing company founded in Nottingham in 1986.

Staffline’s core business is the provision and management of workforces, supplying over 25,000 workers each day from over 200 locations throughout the UK, mainly to the food processing, manufacturing, logistics and e-retail sectors.

Other brands owned by Staffline include:
•Driving Plus – provides professional vetted drivers
•Elpis Training – a national training and consultancy organisation
•OSP – a specialist volume recruitment call centre
•Techsearch – supplies graduates and technical experts
•Eos Works – delivering the Work Programme on behalf of the Department of Work and Pensions.
