Our Philosophy

Our recruitment philosophy is very straightforward – honesty, intelligence and efficiency. Our focus is very much on quietly and confidently doing an excellent job and letting the results speak for themselves. The technical markets in which we operate are extremely demanding. We need to understand in great detail the specific requirements of both the companies for whom we recruit and the candidates they seek, so that we are able to bring the right people together. For this reason, we place huge emphasis on knowledge and expertise, which is very much valued by our clients and candidates. We are influenced by a commitment to long rather than short term partnerships.
 
This approach ensures sound business sense, allowing us to build a trusted working relationship from both clients and candidates. We are 100% privately owned ensuring that we can take a proper, long term view of business.
 

Mission

Durham Professional Services mission is to build, engage and provide access to unique pools of talent, forging long term partnerships with clients and candidates that add extra value.
 

Values
