Whether you need immediate temporary support or a key permanent hire, we take time to understand your business, team dynamics and working environment before beginning any search.
By combining our established candidate networks, targeted advertising, LinkedIn Recruiter, proactive search techniques and relationship-led recruitment, we identify Business Support professionals who not only have the right skills but also the attitude, reliability and cultural fit to become valued members of your team.
For temporary appointments, we focus on speed, responsiveness and continuity. For permanent recruitment, our priority is introducing individuals who will contribute to your organisation's long-term success.

What clients can expect.
Responsive when it matters most - Urgent recruitment cannot always wait. We move quickly while maintaining a careful, quality-led process.

Business support roles are often the ones that hold everything together - and when they're not filled by the right person, you feel it quickly. We work across the full range of support and administrative functions, from entry-level admin through to senior operations and office management.
A good PA, a reliable Office Manager, a sharp Sales Administrator - these hires matter more than people sometimes give them credit for. They free up your senior team, keep clients happy, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
We work across the full mix of sales and marketing roles - from business development and account management through to senior commercial and marketing leadership. Whatever you're hiring for, we take the time to understand your business, your culture, and what good actually looks like for you.
We've built strong networks across Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and the wider North over more than 20 years. We know the market, we know the talent, and we'll be honest with you about both. When you need someone quickly, we move quickly — and we won't palm you off with candidates who aren't genuinely right for the role.

Charlotte was excellent throughout the process - highly responsive, proactive in keeping us updated, and simply very easy to deal with. Her communication was clear and consistent, which made the whole process smooth from our side. Most importantly, she helped us secure a great candidate who accepted the role this morning. In today’s world it’s very easy to raise issues when things don’t go well, but not enough people take the time to recognise when someone does a fantastic job. Charlotte is a real credit to your team and I just wanted to make sure that feedback was passed on.
We’ve worked with JHR for around eight years, and their service consistently surpasses that of any other agency I’ve worked with. They genuinely take the time to understand our business, our culture and exactly what we need from each hire. The calibre of candidates is consistently outstanding, reflecting the care JHR puts into getting to know both clients and candidates. Their personal, intuitive approach and genuine commitment to getting the right match is what really sets them apart. I would strongly recommend JHR to other employers.
