Build your future here

We’re committed to creating an environment where the most talented, ambitious, and thoughtful recruitment professionals want to build their careers.

Our Values

We actively encourage everyone to speak openly and we listen with genuine care. Understanding each other’s perspectives, experiences, and ideas allows us to build stronger relationships, make better decisions, and work better together.

We support each other, share opportunities openly, and always celebrate team success. We don’t point fingers or place blame, instead, we encourage learning and understanding. We act as a collective, not as individuals, while still recognising and celebrating each person’s achievements.

We care deeply about our work and hold ourselves accountable. Integrity and transparency guide our actions, empowering us to deliver quality outcomes that we can each personally and collectively stand behind.

We approach every opportunity with ambition, energy, and determination. Success matters to us; not only individually but as a team. Our passion for winning drives us to deliver outstanding results for our clients, candidates, and colleagues.

We don’t rest on past success we’re committed to continuous improvement, challenging ourselves and each other to grow, innovate, and keep pushing standards higher across everything we do.

Why you’ll love working here

Meaningful Ownership

As an business built on an employee-ownership model, we’re committed to sharing our collective success with those who drive our growth. Team members who significantly contribute to the business have the opportunity to earn growth shares, ensuring your dedication is genuinely recognised and rewarded.

Personalised Development

We actively invest in your growth. You’ll have clear, outlined and documented progression pathways, external courses, and an individual personal development fund worth £150 per year, plus two days afforded to pursue that development area aligned to your own interests or goals. When you’re ready and stepping up through milestones, you can proactively request a promotion ensuring your career progresses at a pace you determine.

Flexible & Balanced

Life isn’t always straightforward, and we understand that. Whether you’re picking up the kids from school, walking the dog, or squeezing in a fitness class, we trust you to manage your time effectively. As long as our partners are supported to the Blair West standard and the job gets done, you’ll have genuine flexibility to work in a way that suits you.

Rewarding Success

We believe achievements deserve meaningful recognition. Alongside competitive salaries and a lucrative commission scheme, we celebrate individual and team milestones by rewarding our people with experiences they can share with loved ones – from restaurant vouchers to weekend getaways.

Ambitious & Growing

Joining Blair West means becoming part of an ambitious team with big goals. We’re continually investing in our people, systems, and resources, ensuring you have everything you need to excel. Our recent investments include external management training, sales development, software and technology improvements, new office space, and bespoke personal development courses.

Additional Benefits

We know the little things matter, so you’ll also enjoy 25 days of holiday plus your birthday off. You’ll have a subscription to a well-being app of your choice, enhanced maternity and paternity leave (three months fully paid, plus three months at 50%, adjusted for average commissions), and three additional days for Corporate Social Responsibility activities. We also make commuting easy with a company car scheme via Enterprise Car Club and salary sacrifice options for travel passes like Nexus’ ‘Pop card’. Plus, our Grey Street location has a breakout space, pool table, fresh fruit, and great coffee!
