The people around you and the culture in general is incredibly welcoming making you feel part of the team from day 1.

There are so many opportunities to progress. Talent is recognised and nurtured. Principal People is a dynamic, contemporary place to work.

  • I have been working at Principal People for almost four years and can honestly say this is the best company I have worked for, and could ever imagine working for. I was new to recruitment when I began and have since received two promotions to the Account Manager for my team. Whether you are new to this industry or an experienced recruiter, the support and guidance here is superb. And it doesn’t hurt that the whole team are fun and friendly, and we have made some unforgettable memories in and out of the office.

  • My experience for working for Principal People for the past 6 years has been fantastic. I have been promoted 4 times since I started and the progression routes are very clear and every employee is incredibly supportive of one another.

  • Since being with Principal People, I have laughed every day and have felt like part of a team from the first time I walked into the office. I can honestly say that it has been the most welcoming and motivating group of people I have worked with. The progression opportunities and excellent support have allowed me to feel comfortable voicing my opinion without judgment and work with like-minded individuals!

  • I joined PP as an apprentice and have been given opportunities to go from strength to strength in the early days of my career, I have always been made to feel part of the team even when I am learning. With such a fun and sociable team, I feel motivated and supported to achieve not only my career goals but my personal ones too.
