​Today, Craig Longland and Tom Burns demonstrate what it's like to live the life of an international recruiter... Their morning started with a horribly early breakfast at Heathrow before they boarded a plane and flew to Germany. Checking straight into a hotel, they suited up and and went straight to client meeting no'1, immediately followed by client meeting no'2 a short tax...

Craig Longland and myself are delighted to announce the launch of our third brand Sustainability Recruitment and would like to wish Dan Lovell all the best in building this brand and following in the footsteps of The Audit & Risk Recruitment Company and Tax & Treasury Recruitment.When Craig and I set up the business in 2014, it was always our dream that we could give others ...

This week we hit a BIG milestone at The Audit & Risk Recruitment Company (ARRC) & Tax & Treasury Recruitment Specialists. When we set the company up, we always wanted to create an inspirational as well as aspirational culture and part of the vision was to incentivise our employees with a feeling of ambition and growth by having a 'stake' in the business, what we've always r...

Last week we celebrated our 8th anniversary, and Craig and I would once again like to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who’s been a part of our journey. Over the past 8 years we have worked with over nearly 300 of the World’s largest businesses and best-known brands, including Amazon, BUPA, Close Brothers, TikTok, Tesco, Rolls Royce, Disney, Vodafo...

Great fun last week at The Audit & Risk Recruitment Company (ARRC) first Audit & Risk Golf Day. Thank you to everyone who could make it, we all had great fun and weren't we lucky with the weather for a late October day! For those who couldn't attend this on, we look forward to hosting another one early next year and seeing you then.

Ask someone to choose an odd number between 1 and 10, and more often not, they will say the number seven. For whatever reason, it is a number that’s important in nature, science, mythology, religion, mathematics, life and luck… There are seven deadly sins, breaking a mirror leads to seven years of bad luck, there are seven days in a week, a rainbow has seven colours, there ...

What an absolute pleasure it was celebrating with everyone this weekend after 18 months of restrictions! The 1st time we have been all together, just to have fun, since Christmas 2019! On Friday last week we met up at Ye Olde Bell in Hurley (between Marlow and Henley) and enjoyed an afternoon of food, drinks, and games, celebrating our best 6 months performance ever! And ...

Happy Christmas Jumper Day! Here's some of the team getting into the spirit of Christmas and raising money for a good cause, wearing their Christmas jumpers. I'm pretty sure Tom (top left corner), has substituted glasses and a hat in place of a jumper and Mark (bottom right) is wearing his girlfriend's pajama top ;-) Happy Christmas Jumper Day!

Craig and I are delighted to announce the launch of our second brand - The Tax & Treasury Recruitment Company.  When Lockdown 1.0 was 1st announced back in March and we all watched helplessly as the World went into a tailspin, the 1st thing Craig and I did was agree that we would find ways to come out of the chaos a stronger, more diverse business.   We'd grown the bus...

Write something here... Nearly six months ago I was on a skiing holiday in St Anton, having a lovely time with family and friends, enjoying everything this Austrian ski resort had to offer. For those who love a bit of après-ski, there is nowhere in the World quite like St Anton! In the weeks leading up to my trip, many people felt coronavirus was simply going to disapp...

Here's a shout out for Tash Zack who spent Friday afternoon taking photo's of everyone here in readiness for freshening up our website. You can check out Tash's work here https://www.tash-photography.com/  Looking forward to seeing the results Thank you Marcus and Craig  

Last Friday Craig and I took 2019's highest performers to drinks and dinner at Hélène Darroze at The Connaught. What an amazing experience, The Connaught is certainly up there as one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Congrats to everyone who qualified, Craig and I look forward to more Michelin star moments in 2020!

I'm not 100% sure I fully understand the value of having a good Google company page in our industry... It's the last place I look when I research the competition! I look at their website, check! I look at their LinkedIn page and their LinkedIn activity, check! I look them up on Glassdoor, check! I check out what jobs they post, and on which job boards they are most prolific,...

The Brydon Report, issued today, comes in the wake of some high-profile public company collapses in the United Kingdom, including construction company Carillion, retailer BHS, and travel firm Thomas Cook, and was overseen by former London Stock Exchange chairman Sir Donald Brydon. It is titled, “Assess, Assure, and Inform: Improving Audit Quality and Effectiveness,” and runs...

Every year we celebrate Christmas with an afternoon of fun and games followed by drinks and dinner somewhere special. We always try and outdo the previous years celebrations, and I hope last Friday's party didn't disappoint.  This year we took the team for an afternoon of 'crazy golf' at Junk Yard Golf in East London and it was brilliant fun! It also meant the drinks came...

This opportunity has come about as Motability Operations Ltd undergoes an enterprise wide transformation in ...

Last year we were interviewed by Jo Powell from the Enterprise Risk Management magazine about the risk recruitment market. Below are the opening few paragraphs and the link to the magazine if you'd like to read the full article: RISK IN DEMAND The risk recruitment market has been expanding over the past few years but the range of skills, experience and qualifications nee...

With one month to go before we celebrate our 5th anniversary, it seems fitting that we've just been engaged by a FTSE250 company to help them source and select a new Head of Internal Audit. What's particularly exciting about this (at least for us), is the fact the client came to us directly, preferring to use us over the CFO's usual Executive Search partner.  Paying up to...

When we launched The Audit & Recruitment Company in Sept of 2014, we rented shared office space from The Office Group (TOG), and spent our formative 12 months working from the sofa's and chairs of the lounge room in their 19 Eastbourne Terrace building. There's nothing unusual about this and we certainly weren't the only start up in the lounge back then. What was slightly un...

At the end of Q3 we'll be celebrating our 5th anniversary, so it's very pleasing to report that the 1st month of this milestone quarter has been our BEST MONTH EVER!  We've come along way since Craig and I sat around a dining table in a small, west London flat hashing out the finer details of our business plan; we've moved offices 4 times (as we've outgrown each one). We'...
