Your Trusted Recruiter for Leeds .

Big enough to deliver, small enough to care.

About JH Recruitment & Consultancy.

More than recruitment. More than 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.


Clients increasingly came to us for support beyond recruitment — 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.

Temporary Recruitment

Flexible, short-term staffing made simple. From single-day temp cover to longer contracts and temp-to-perm solutions.

Permanent Recruitment

Across key business functions, we help organisations hire standout professionals who are in it for the long haul.
