HARRIS LORD RECRUITMENT
Helping Sussex businesses build great teams since 1997
Recruitment isn't just about filling vacancies. Every person you hire changes your business. The right hire brings new ideas, strengthens your culture, supports your customers and helps your business grow. The wrong hire costs time, money and momentum.
For almost three decades we've been helping businesses across Sussex and Surrey make better hiring decisions.
As an independent, female-founded recruitment business based in Horsham, we've built long-term relationships by taking the time to understand our clients, our candidates and the people behind every business.
We recruit across office support, customer service, finance, HR, marketing and manufacturing, providing both permanent and temporary recruitment solutions that help businesses continue to grow with confidence.
We believe recruitment should feel personal, honest and straightforward.
That's why many of our clients have worked with us for years and many of our candidates return to us throughout their careers.
Recruitment Built Around People
We know every business is different.
Some organisations need urgent temporary support to keep operations moving. Others are making an important permanent hire that will shape the future of their business.
Some need one exceptional person. Others need to build an entire team.
Our role isn't simply to send CVs.
We listen first, challenge where needed and help clients make informed hiring decisions based on experience, market insight and a genuine understanding of their business.
