About Team GR
Here at GR, we do things differently because each one of our clients is different. From Aberdeen to Aylesbury, Liverpool to Loughborough and Sheffield to Southampton, we talk the talk but we’re also great listeners. We work hard to acquire the best talent while you focus on your core business.
Geared-up Recruiters
At GR, our Sales Experts and Technical Consultants have decades of industry experience, each within their own specialist area to ensure they secure the talent you need to build high-performing teams.
Our primary goal is to work in partnership with you to deliver great results and exceptional service. We work collaboratively, for the long-term and deliver on our promises. We are ambitious, aspirational and work hard to help you achieve more.
London Aberdeen
(and in-between)
We work with SMEs and MMEs, big name brands and rising stars. We recruit for first-time hires, end-to-end teams, volume campaigns or exec search projects. We just love solving recruitment problems (big or small).
The GR Team
We’re a down-to-earth bunch of subject-matter experts who delight in a job well done. We don’t spin yarn, cut corners or lay on the charm. We’re old-school recruiters with new-age techniques that build trust and add value.
Our Story
Back in 2008, Caroline Patten and Richard Brown joined forces to create Grassroots. Focussed on delivering better outcomes for employers, they put partnerships before placements. They grew the business by being professionally nosey – they asked questions, delved deeper and found solutions to their clients hiring challenges.
In 2015 Steven Byrne joined the ranks and recharged Grassroots’ ambitions as a national resource partner. We may now be on GR 3.0 with an international client base and multi-skilled team, but our aspirations for growth are bigger than ever.
