Recruitment agency in Leicester
Placing candidates in permanent and temporary roles across Leicester and Leicestershire since 1987.
Recruitment Specialists in Leicester since 1987
Express Recruitment has been placing candidates with businesses across Leicester and Leicestershire since 1987. From our office at Rutland House on Friar Lane, our consultants work with employers across the city and surrounding area, from professional services firms in the city centre to manufacturers and logistics businesses across Leicestershire.
Our mission has always been to exceed expectations. We do not simply match CVs to job descriptions. Every candidate we present has been met face to face, rigorously profiled, and fully verified before we make a recommendation. We take the time to understand your organisation, your culture and what the right person genuinely looks like for your team.
Whether you require a temporary member of staff at short notice or a permanent senior hire, our specialist consultants are here to deliver recruitment solutions you can rely on.
Speed You Can Rely On
Our streamlined processes mean temporary vacancies are actioned within 30 minutes and permanent vacancies within one hour of your initial enquiry. Our dedicated consultants work at the speed your business needs, without ever compromising on the calibre of candidate we put forward.
Enhanced Quality Checks
We are committed to maintaining our high-quality standards with every temporary candidate. We make sure that all of our candidates meet your requirements by running DBS Checks and advanced references before they start their assignment.
'Work-Ready' Candidate Pool
With over 7,000 live candidates on our database, we are proud to have an extensive network of skilled professionals, allowing us to quickly find the perfect fit for your temporary positions.

We recruit across eight specialist divisions from our Nottingham office. Each team is led by consultants with deep knowledge of their sector, ensuring you receive candidates who are the right fit on every level.

Our Recruitment Process
We have built our reputation on getting it right and we are proud of that. Before we put anyone forward we take the time to properly understand your business, your team and what you actually need. We look for people who will genuinely fit in and contribute, because a good match benefits everyone.
We keep both clients and candidates well informed throughout the process. Everyone goes into each stage with a clear picture of what to expect and that preparation makes a real difference. It is that level of care and honesty that keeps our clients coming back to us time and time again.
Understanding Your Business
Every successful hire starts with a proper conversation. We sit down with your team to understand the pressures driving the search, the dynamics already in place and the long-term goals behind the role. That gives us what we need to find someone who fits your culture, not just your job description.
Proactive Sourcing
The best candidates are rarely looking. We focus on headhunting and leveraging our existing networks to identify high-calibre professionals already making an impact in their current roles. Everyone we present is pre-qualified and ready to contribute from day one.
Comprehensive and Honest Vetting
We look well beyond the CV. Our screening process involves detailed interviews, honest assessment of past achievements and full background and reference checks.
Supporting the Transition and Onboarding
We stay involved through offer, negotiation and notice period. Once your new hire is in the building we continue to check in, making sure the onboarding is working and the new starter is settling in well.
