Marshall Harmony | Placing People First

About

Where it all started and why "Placing people first" is at the heart of everything we do.


About Us 

 

Having spent over 2 decades in high street recruitment, I really did see and experience the good, the bad and the ugly! A recruiter in high street agency is targeted on call volume and figures but for me recruitment has always been far more which is where my ethos of placing people first came from.

As a mum juggling a career and parenting is no easy feat! I was fed up of missing out on important moments, having continuous mum guilt so I walked out of high street recruitment and started placing people first my own way.

My relationships with my clients are built on trust and so many of the partnerships I have formed go back those 2 decades.

The clients I choose to work with know that I will get to know them and the business so well that a candidate feels like they are dealing with someone who works in their business.

My business model of exclusivity on every role; alongside my values of clear and honest communication, integrity, passion, and determination are what sets me apart from my competitors. I always say true to my values. My clients were fed up with instructing 5 different recruiters and wondering why the candidate didn’t stick, or they couldn’t find the right person……. Until they instructed Marshall Harmony.

After leaving high street recruitment to go it alone, after a couple of years I realised being a one women show was too much. I wanted to share the Marshall Harmony way of recruitment with more businesses, who were reaching out after hearing about my reputation.

So the business expanded and I employed Emily. I instantly knew that Emily was the missing ingredient in the candidate journey and very quickly she began supporting clients too.

As the company continued to grow, more help was needed! Both Emily and I are fantastic at recruitment but if you talk to us about systems and processes we run a mile! Enter Ellie, our organisational queen, who turned this disorganised duo into an organised trio and her processes and tweaks have made us able to be even better at placing people first. 

However, the team wasn’t yet complete. With me wanting to spend more time doing what I do best, networking with incredible businesses and people just like you, we needed to bring someone in to take over all things marketing. Enter Sarah, our Marketing guru, full of ideas of how to take our branding, marketing and business strategy to the next level.

Since Marshall Harmony grew to the four of us, the harmony extended beyond our business operations, creating a sense of fulfilment and gratitude. The journey continued, marked by newfound dynamics and a shared commitment to growth, both personally and professionally.

Malcolm E

London

12 years ago I tried numerous recruitment agencies in my search for new employment.

Most were stereo typical and processing you like an object not a person. The I met with Laura. Laura was professional, friendly and enthusiastically worked to find me an excellent position. I hadn't forgotten how great she was and passionate about working hard to find the right match. This year I was looking for a new role and only though to seek Laura and her agency Marshall Harmony. She remembered me, listened to my requirements and quickly pin pointed the best career role that met my needs. With excellent communication she challenged herself and with great success found me an excellent opportunity. I would like to say a big thank you to a lovely person, always smiling and excelling herself. Glowing with passion for her work. Thank you Laura.

Customer Service Director

Laura is an amazing recruiter, professional & fully focused on the role in hand.

She manages to capture the very best local talent available, fully briefs potential employees & prepares them for interview. They are at ease & confident, ahead of face to face meetings. Our business is Yorkshire based, outside of Laura’s immediate area, yet Laura found some great quality candidates to select from. I would not hesitate in thoroughly recommending Laura, she has a great deal of talent and an instinct for matching candidates with roles. Thankyou Laura for all your help & advice, we will be using Marshall Harmony again in the future.

Country Director UK

This is the recruiter who really understands the client.

Laura has been our recruitment partner for over 3 years and has expertly filled several roles. Following a strategic review in 2021, our business required 4 new roles across Sales, Digital Marketing & Finance to be in place for January 2022. I was impressed by Laura’s ability to handle the brief calmly and patiently in a short period, provide impressive short lists which led to multiple offers. Laura will be a valuable partner to any company.

James W

Export Sales Manager - Oldbury

"Nothing lasts without sincerity" - As a candidate, from viewing the job profile, application, initial verbal contact and throughout all other communications Laura is world class.

No one else in the recruitment industry I have had dealings with comes close. There were some good recruiters; Laura is an exceptional one. As an employer, I will surely speak to her again. Recruitment is not just a B2B industry; it is also very much a P2P industry - Laura definitely understands people and see through the fog of recruitment to bring the right people together.

The Marshall Harmony Team

The lovely ladies at Marshall Harmony; Laura, Ellie and Emily have supported us on a number of positions over the last year. I have found the team to be knowledgeable and reliable but most importantly they demonstrated real commitment to understanding what we required and explored lots of ways in which we could get there. As a company, I particularly commend their fresh approach to marketing and their consistent enthusiasm, availability and follow up for every assignment. The successful candidates we hired through the team at Marshall Harmony have also been positive and complimentary in their feedback of their own experiences as candidates during the hiring process.
