We care about what we do and strive to provide the highest level of service and support, backed by genuine expertise and understanding.
A Place to Build Something of Your Own
Certus has been recruiting since 2001, but we've never wanted to build a business where recruiters simply inherit a desk, follow a script and chase numbers.
We give people the opportunity to develop real expertise, build relationships and create something they can genuinely take ownership of. That might mean growing an established market, developing a new specialism or helping us expand our presence internationally.
You'll have the backing of a business with 25 years of experience, an established global client and candidate network and specialist expertise across Go-to-Market and Technology — while still having the freedom to shape how you build your market and your career.
We're ambitious about where Certus goes next, but we want the people who join us to grow with the business, not simply work for it.
Why Certus?
We've been building specialist recruitment markets for 25 years, but we're still small enough for every person to have a genuine impact on where the business goes next.
You'll work within an experienced, owner-led business with established operations across the UK, US and Australia, recruiting within high-growth Go-to-Market and Technology markets.
We combine the infrastructure, reputation and network of an established recruitment business with the autonomy of a much smaller one. You'll be trusted to build relationships, develop your market and make decisions — not simply follow a script.
Most importantly, success at Certus isn't about fitting everyone into the same mould. We want people to build on their strengths, develop real expertise and create a career they can be proud of.
Your Career. Your Direction.
There isn't one route to success at Certus. Some people want to become exceptional specialist recruiters, others want to build teams, develop new markets or move into leadership. We want to help you build the career that's right for you.
You'll develop through hands-on coaching, regular support and working alongside experienced recruiters and business leaders. As your experience grows, so can your responsibility — whether that's taking ownership of key client relationships, becoming recognised in a specialist market, mentoring others or helping build the next part of Certus.
With teams across the UK, US and Australia, there can also be opportunities to work across markets and contribute to the growth of our international business.
Progression here isn't about waiting for a job title to become available. It's about what you're capable of building and where you want to take it.
Our Values. Part of Who We Are.
Our values aren't simply words on a page. Passion, Energy, Commitment, Integrity and Fun have long been part of how we work, how we treat each other and the experience we want to create for our clients and candidates.
They're also an important part of how we recruit our own people. Skills and experience matter, but so does how someone approaches their work, builds relationships, supports colleagues and responds when things don't go to plan.
Throughout our interview process, we'll spend time getting to know you as a person, not just your recruitment experience or previous results. We'll talk about our values, what they mean in practice and whether Certus feels like the right environment for you.
Because ultimately, we want people who can be successful here — but just as importantly, people who will enjoy being part of Certus and contribute positively to the team around them.
Passion
Energy
We approach what we do with enthusiasm, positivity, pace and urgency.
Commitment
We do what we say we're going to do and take responsibility for achieving our individual, team and company goals.
Integrity
We believe great relationships are built on trust and honesty. We're accountable, communicate openly and don't avoid difficult conversations.
Fun
We love what we do, celebrate success and believe a strong team culture makes the Certus experience better for everyone.
An International Business. A Close-Knit Team.
Certus operates across the UK, US and Australia, but we've deliberately retained the feel of a business where people know each other, work together and can make a visible difference.
Our teams share clients, candidates, knowledge and opportunities across markets. You'll have access to the reach and relationships of an international recruitment business, while working in an environment where your contribution is noticed and your ideas can genuinely influence what we do.
We want people to have the freedom to develop their own style and build strong relationships, while knowing there's an experienced team around them when they need advice, support or another perspective.
We've grown internationally without losing the close-knit culture that defines Certus.
Is Certus Right for You?
We're always interested in meeting people who share our values and want to build a successful career in recruitment.
You might already be an experienced recruiter looking for more autonomy and ownership, or earlier in your career and looking for the right environment in which to develop. Attitude, ambition and how you work with people matter to us just as much as what's already on your CV.
We look for people who are positive, driven, accountable and genuinely interested in people and business — people who want to develop expertise, build lasting relationships and contribute to the team around them.
If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.
