Ever Dreamed of Starting a Recruitment Business?
If starting your own recruitment business is your dream, we sponsor a small selection of recruiters to do just that. This sponsorship allows your business to be built upon an infrastructure that provides the perfect platform for long-term sustainable growth, plus all the ongoing support you’ll need. This formula for success has been put together by career recruiter and business builder, Rhys Jones, who has to date helped build many different recruitment businesses from different sectors, from the ground up, with each one a success. Rhys will be there from the business start up phase, and will maintain that one to one contact to help you realise the goals for growth you have set for your company.

The main benefit of becoming a Davidson Gray partner is the level of personal coaching and mentoring from Rhys himself. We consciously only back a few select recruiters to ensure you get as much one to one time with Rhys as the business needs. From being a star recruiter Rhys then spent 15 years building not only his own businesses but helping others build theirs, selling off his last recruitment business in April 2015 to focus purely on the Davidson Gray partners.
