Why join Barclay Simpson?

We foster a people-first culture

People are the foundation of what we do and how we do it. We value our own teams as much as our candidates and clients and give them the flexibility and respect to work in a way that is healthy and supportive. That means every member of staff has a voice to help shape the future of the business.

Structured career pathway

We actively encourage merit-based promotion and offer two distinct career paths for you to choose from. Choosing one path over another doesn’t mean you can’t change and pursue another route though; we invest in your long-term development and choices.

Career path 1: Fee Earner

The “Fee Earner” route allows you to concentrate on billing whilst gaining recognition for being an exceptional, high-achieving specialist recruiter in your chosen field.

Career path 2: Management

The “Management” career path caters to those who want to develop their people management skills and focus on building and leading high-performing teams.

Celebrating success

We celebrate success and hard work regularly with high performers lunches, monthly drinks, quarterly socials, summer and Christmas celebrations. We reward and acknowledge hard work and dedication.

Work-life balance

We know recruitment can be a fast-paced working environment and that requires balance. We encourage our consultants to maintain their work-life balance with a base annual leave of 20-25 days + bank holidays, 12 additional half-days, monthly 10.30am starts or 4.00pm finishes and two days of paid leave for volunteering or charitable endeavour of their choice. Our commitment to flexible and remote working long predates the pandemic and we have invested in the technology to support this working culture.

Uncapped earnings

Barclay Simpson provide exceptional financial rewards for our teams, including uncapped commission, profit share schemes, management bonuses, annual awards and recognitions on top of highly-competitive base salaries.

Employee benefits

Barclay Simpson offer a wide range of benefits to show our appreciation for our consultants’ hard work. From flexible working, pensions, childcare vouchers, cycle to work schemes, private medical insurance and team socials, it’s important to us that our team are rewarded for their efforts.

CSR

We take our corporate, social responsibility seriously and have partnered with Heart of the City and Octopus Energy so that, as a company and as individuals, we all have the ability to contribute to a sustainable future.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

As a business and a culture, we embrace equality, diversity, and inclusion and seek to promote their benefits in all activities. From partnering with Women in Banking and Finance to supporting the LSE Accelerating Change Together programme, to investing in specialist EDI training, we are committed to equal opportunities for all.

Mental health and wellbeing

We know recruitment can be a stressful job; both when the market is challenging and jobs are in short supply, and when the market is buoyant and placement expectations increase. We have measures in place to support our team whenever they need it without judgement.
