A&S Recruitment

Headquartered in Felixstowe, A&S Recruitment is a specialist recruitment agency and human resources consultancy for the import and export industry – with a particular focus on the shipping, transport, warehousing and port logistics sectors. We work with businesses of all sizes – from warehousing start-ups, fast growing logistic companies through to one of UK’s largest container ports as well as a leading port in Europe.What makes us stand out?In the age of online job boards, social media job sites and supposedly quick-fix job placements, A&S has a very different approach. A personal one.We take the time to meet all of our candidates and employers face to face so that we get a good feel of their personality, as well as a thorough understanding of the specific role and the skill requirements. Finding the right fit can take a few hours, days, weeks or even a few months – but we don’t believe in cutting corners. You won’t find our consultants sending inappropriate CVs or job specifications simply to meet targets. If it takes more time to find the right match, our expert team will put the hard graft in. If a business has an urgent requirement to fill temporary job positions, then we will work around clock to find the best people.At the heart of our business, we care. We care that our candidates feel confident about their skills and are excited about the next step of their career. If there are wobbles or concerns about this next stage, then we’ll sit down with them and work through their concerns, give guidance about CVs and additional training as well as how best to prepare for interviews.We also care that employers’ broader workplace challenges can be overcome - which is why A&S set up a separate HR consultancy arm. Most recently we helped one European Port save 70% in staffing expenditure!Finally, we believe in challenging the status -quo. A&S is a progressive company willing adapt to the changes going on in the industry but also speak up about changes that need to be made.
