2026
Taking trusted client relationships beyond recruitment into wider business and people consultancy.
For more than 20 years, JH Recruitment has built its reputation by doing things differently.
We take the time to understand our clients, build genuine long-term relationships and deliver recruitment solutions shaped around the individual needs of each business.
Founded in Leeds in 2005, we've grown alongside many of the organisations we support, from ambitious SMEs to established national and international businesses.
And as those relationships developed, so did the conversations we were having.
Clients increasingly came to us for support beyond recruitment — asking for advice around organisational structure, leadership, people strategy, business improvement and the challenges that come with growth and change.
It became clear that finding exceptional people was only part of the picture.
That natural evolution led to the creation of JH Consultancy.
Today, JH Recruitment and JH Consultancy work alongside each other, giving our clients access to specialist recruitment expertise and practical business consultancy through one trusted relationship.
Some organisations come to us to recruit exceptional talent. Others need support with organisational design, leadership, team structure or wider people and business challenges. Increasingly, our clients benefit from a combination of both.
Our role is simple: understand your business first, then recommend the right solution.
Whether we're helping you make a key appointment or supporting a strategic business project, our approach remains the same — relationship-led, practical and honest.
Temporary Recruitment
Flexible, short-term staffing made simple. From single-day temp cover to longer contracts and temp-to-perm solutions.
