Our Services.

At River Recruitment, we know that finding the right people is at the heart of every successful business. Based in Milton Keynes, we bring over 20 years of experience in Recruitment, IT, and Sales to deliver a service that’s flexible, transparent, and designed to make hiring easier.

Employers

We support businesses across all industries with permanent hires, from entry-level roles through to senior leadership. While we recruit broadly, our specialist expertise is in:

Sales Recruitment – Business Development Executives, Account Managers, Sales Leaders.

IT Recruitment – Support staff, Developers, Engineers, IT Managers, and beyond.

Every candidate we put forward is carefully assessed to ensure they not only have the right skills but also the right cultural fit for your business.

Flexible Pricing Options

We understand that every business has different needs and budgets, so we offer two simple pricing models:

Flat Fee – 10% of basic salary, with a rebate period for peace of mind.

Spread Payments – 3% per month, over 4 months, with no rebate period.

This way, you can choose the option that best supports your cashflow and recruitment strategy.

Candidates

At River Recruitment, we don’t just support businesses — we’re here to help candidates too. Your CV is often the first impression you make with an employer, so it’s vital that it reflects your skills, experience, and career ambitions in the best way possible.

That’s why we offer a dedicated CV Review Service for candidates:

Personal Feedback – We’ll review your CV and provide tailored advice on structure, content, and layout.

Highlighting Achievements – We’ll help you showcase your skills and results in a way that stands out to hiring managers.

Optimisation for Roles – Guidance on tailoring your CV to specific job applications so you get noticed.

Whether you’re new to the job market, looking to step up into a senior role, or changing industries, we’ll make sure your CV gives you the strongest possible start.

A Personal Approach

Unlike larger agencies, we pride ourselves on offering a local, relationship-driven service. You’ll deal directly with the owners — Claire Mirfin and Damian Barrett — who bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience in recruitment, IT, and sales.

We take the time to understand your business, your challenges, and your goals, so we can introduce you to candidates who add real long-term value.
