Why Work at The Best Connection? A Guide to Our Culture, People and Opportunities
If you are considering your next step in recruitment, you probably want more than just a job title. You want a role where you can build confidence, feel supported, grow your career and be part of a team that values people.
At The Best Connection, we’ve been supporting people into work for over 35 years. With 80+ branches across the UK and a Head Office in the West Midlands, we offer career opportunities nationwide across branch and central teams.
In 2024, we became an employee-owned business, which means our people help shape our future and share in our success.
Key Takeaways
Here are some of the main reasons people choose to join and stay with The Best Connection:
- A Business Built Around People: Recruitment is a people business, and culture matters. At The Best Connection, our teams work in a supportive, high-energy environment where performance is recognised and best practice is shared across our network. Whether you’re new to recruitment or looking to step into senior roles, you’ll be surrounded by people who want you to succeed. Employee ownership strengthens that shared mindset. Success isn’t something you watch from the side-lines. You contribute to it, you learn from it and you benefit from it together.
- Opportunities Across the UK (and at Head Office): With more than 80 branches nationwide, opportunities exist in many UK locations. For those interested in central functions, our Head Office teams are based in the West Midlands. As a nationwide business, career growth can take different forms, including progressing within your branch, moving into specialist or senior roles, exploring opportunities across regions, stepping into management and leadership and developing into Head Office support functions. One of the biggest benefits of a national network is that progression doesn’t have to mean starting over. We promote from within wherever possible and support long-term careers.
- Training, Qualifications and Career Progression: Support makes a real difference, especially in your first recruitment role. Training at The Best Connection is built into how we work. You’ll have access to ongoing development that helps you build confidence, strengthen your skills and progress over time. All employees also have access to REC professional accreditation, with opportunities to gain further accreditation as you qualify and develop. To learn more about how we support progression, visit our career development page.
- Apprenticeships That Open Doors: Apprenticeships are a great option if you want structured learning alongside hands-on experience. We’ve supported over 150 apprentices since 2021, and our apprenticeship programme has been rated Ofsted ‘Outstanding’. What makes it valuable is the mix of real recruitment experience, structured learning and clear milestones, mentoring and support and a pathway into long-term progression. If you are just starting out, or want a different route into recruitment, apprenticeships are a great way to grow. Explore apprenticeships here.
- Inclusion, Respect and Belonging: Feeling supported at work starts with feeling respected. We’re committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and to creating a workplace where people from all backgrounds feel welcomed and valued. Our teams support awareness and engagement throughout the year, helping make inclusion part of everyday culture – not just a policy.
- Wellbeing and Flexibility That Supports Real Life: Recruitment can be fast-paced, which is why wellbeing matters. We support employees through wellbeing initiatives and benefits such as the BHSF Employee Wellbeing Scheme, alongside opportunities for flexible working depending on role and business needs.
- Recognition, Reward and Shared Success: Being recognised for your contribution matters. We celebrate individual and team successes and recognise performance, development and milestones across the business. Some benefits are role dependent, such as the company car scheme, but recognition and reward is part of our wider culture and how we support high performance.
- Community Impact You Can Be Part Of: Many people want to work somewhere that makes a difference beyond commercial success. Our teams support local communities through fundraising, volunteering and sustainability initiatives. Every employee also receives two paid volunteer days per year, giving you the chance to support causes that matter to you.
