Sandra Smart started Octopus Personnel in 2007 and is passionate about keeping the business focused on our local community.
“I believe that recruitment is at the heart of a growing economy and that a different type of recruitment service, with honesty, efficiency and integrity at its heart, can benefit all. Octopus Personnel is the result of hard work, focus and commitment to that vision – to delivering consistently great results for our candidates and clients alike, as well as ensuring the agency is a vibrant, inclusive, inspirational place to work and develop rewarding careers.”
We know how difficult it can be to recruit in rural areas, and specialise in local recruitment for Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. We use video recruitment as well as pop-up offices for face to face meetings to make it easier to connect local people and businesses.
