Welcome to Barker Graves

We are specialists in integrated agency recruitment and really know our stuff having worked in the industry for several years and having been established since 1998. We pride ourselves on our grown up approach to recruitment.

We offer rounded and useful advice to candidates and look to offer support and advice throughout their agency career not just for the next job. We take time to get to know our candidates properly, more than just ticking a list of channels or industry sectors. We are discerning about who we meet in the first place and tend to place the majority of the candidates we meet, we don’t play a numbers game.

We have close ties to a wide range of agencies from start-ups and independents to agencies in all of the top five group agencies. We know which agencies suit which candidates and vice versa. We know who’s producing good work, winning pitches, looking to expand and who can provide the next good career step. More than that, we have a feel for the culture and style of agencies. Our proven skill in finding excellent candidates that represent the right fit for a position is why our clients keep coming back to us.

We have unequalled expertise in finding and assessing candidates, we spend at least an hour interviewing our candidates and offer advice along the way on how to sell yourself.

As well as the usual salary services and view on the market we also offer some less run of the mill services such as free interview skills and team management workshop, setting tasks for interviews and lateral advice on those difficult to find levels.
We are often told by clients and candidates that the value we add and our straight talking insights are refreshing and make a real difference. Most of our candidates are recommended or previous candidates returning so we are confident we are doing the right thing!

Whatever you are looking for, we will offer you an informed opinion and provide a range of options. We look forward very much to talking to you.
