It started with a vision, a vision to redefine customers' & clients' pre-conceived (and more often than not, correct!) views on recruitment agencies. A vision to treat employees with respect, give autonomy, freedom, and flexibility (yes, this wasn’t enforced by COVID, we believed in it since day 1!) 

7 years on, we’re one of the largest independent recruitment companies in Wales, we have (in my biased opinion, the very best consultants in their respective fields) and have supported thousands of clients & candidates becoming a cog that keeps the all-important economy in Wales turning.

Our Nursing & Social Care business has developed into the leading supplier to private care homes & Mental health hospitals in Wales. We have the strongest Social Work agency supply in Wales with locum social workers in every local authority in Wales. Hoop Education has grown into one of the top 10 suppliers in Wales to Primary & Secondary schools and is leading the way in pay transparency in the Sector. Last but certainly not least, our HR & Professional Services who in just 3 years, have developed the biggest network of qualified back-office professionals in Wales. For many public, private, and third-sector companies Hoop Professional Services & HR are the go-to choice for all qualified professionals.

In addition to our divisions, we are also in the process of developing a market-leading back office function, a function that will give opportunities to our talented Hoopies, but also further improve our service to candidates & clients.

The very best level of service is at the forefront of everything we do and we are constantly reviewing new ways of making our interactions with candidates & clients better, and more meaningful. Every conversation should add value, we’re all human beings, and if we can help, we should.

We have won awards, won significant public & private sector contracts, have been recognised as one of the fastest growing companies in Wales, and have given our Hoopies the work-life balance that they deserve, people first, always.

Our drive, determination & passion to achieve more is stronger than ever. This drive is leading to our expansion to North Wales, the South West, Midlands, and the North. We are confident that we can expand our award-winning offering to further areas across the UK, paying candidates fairly, treating clients as partners, and offering more recruitment professionals to be part of our purpose “We help people find happiness, in work, in life”.

With growth comes opportunity, the future is exciting, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what Hoop achieves over the next 7 years!

One thing is for certain, we will never, ever deviate from our core promise, People First, Always. 

Our Hoopies, our candidates & our clients will never be a number to us, and, irrespective of how much we grow, and how many locations we have in the UK, we will always make ethical decisions based on long-term relationships, not short-term gain, it’s the Hoop way.

Thank you for reading. If you want to hear more about our purpose, promise & vision, feel free to contact me. We are recruiting the best in the industry, people who care, people who want flexibility, people who never want to be a number.
