Grafton Haymes

HR recruitment and nothing else

Grafton Haymes is a London firm whose recruitment is confined to human resources roles. It places HR professionals with employers and presents itself as one of the top HR recruitment agencies in the capital. Its work runs in two directions: candidates look for HR jobs, and employers ask the firm to recruit an HR professional for them. The firm describes its aim as helping businesses and professionals find the perfect fit, and its specialist focus means that every search and every introduction stays within human resources.

The HR specialisms the firm covers

The firm's roles are grouped by area of HR expertise. The areas it names are generalist HR work, recruitment and resourcing, learning and development with talent and management development, employee relations, reward with expatriate and mobility work, HR systems, change management and organisation development, diversity and inclusion, HR management consultancy, internal communications and payroll.

Locations from London to Ireland and beyond

Roles are listed by region: London, remote working, the South East, the Midlands, the North and North East, the North West, the South West, UK-wide roles, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland and international positions. London is the first location the site lists, and remote working is offered as an option alongside it, so an HR professional outside the capital can still look at roles that suit their working arrangements.

Recommending and recruiting HR professionals for employers

Employers use the firm in two ways, according to the site. They can ask the firm to recruit an HR professional for a permanent or a contract role, or they can ask for a recommendation of an HR professional who fits the job they need to fill. The site asks employers whether they are looking to recruit an HR professional and invites them to take the next steps. The firm presents itself as respected, with expertise and knowledge of the recruitment market and a stated passion for positive impact.
