Crone Corkill

A recruitment agency working across London, Crone Corkill has placed candidates there since the late 1970s, and it began as a secretarial recruiter before widening into the operational roles that keep a business running. It works with hiring firms and with job seekers, and it handles permanent as well as temporary placements.

Filling business support and secretarial roles

Business support remains the firm's original line of work. It recruits secretaries, executive assistants, team coordinators and office support staff for employers of different sizes, including legal firms. Its legal support placements include legal secretaries and corporate paralegals, roles that need precise skills and a clear understanding of how a legal office works.

Finance, HR and marketing placements

Professional services recruitment covers banking and finance, human resources and marketing teams. The firm says it knows these sectors well enough to place candidates who will fit both the role and the culture of the team. Its IT recruitment covers technology hires for London employers across the sector.

Temporary staffing at short notice

Temporary staffing supplies temps when a client needs cover at short notice, including seasonal work for candidates who return each year. The firm says it can supply a temp quickly when a client needs cover, and it presents temporary work as a flexible resource for employers.

Matching people on personality and fit

The firm says its consultants look at personality and how well someone would suit a team, not only at skills, when matching people to roles, and that it treats recruitment as a matter of people connecting with people rather than a numbers game. It places emphasis on understanding each candidate's motivations and each employer's needs, and it offers job postings, a way to register for work, and recruitment insights to people looking for a new position. It describes its work as placing candidates in the roles they want, and as building lasting relationships with employers and candidates alike.
