About

AboutJobshop

We promise to listen to you and your needs and provide you with an honest, friendly and professional service.

Jobshop UK is an independent recruitment agency established in 1997. We specialise in all aspects of temporary, permanent and contract operational staff (including remote and hybrid roles) from general administration to management level.

We provide staff to the private and public sector across the UK across all industries.

Since 2020 we have moved to offices in Ashley Cross in Poole on the lovely Dorset coast. We have adapted our service to suit the changing landscape the world of work presents.

Some of the team work full time in the office and some work on a hybrid basis to suit individual needs. We are all available to speak to you Monday to Friday, 9am – 5.30pm, whether we are working from home or the office.

We still deliver the same level of service and care to our candidates and clients as we have always done.

We are in a people business and that is the most important thing to us.

Our team is made up of senior resources and consultants who are seasoned professionals who all understand and love the business of recruitment.

For our candidates, we are here to find you your first job, your next career move or just provide advice on the job market.

For our clients, we will spend time listening to your needs, advising on the job market, job descriptions, salaries etc and looking for fabulous candidates to match to your jobs.

We use various job boards, our website, social media, LinkedIn, our extensive database and our 27 years of networking to provide the best possible service to both candidate and clients.

Whilst a lot of us are working in hybrid or remote roles, there are a growing number of companies who now want their staff to return to the office. Interestingly, candidates have adapted really well to working from home, so they want to continue this way of working. This has created a desire amongst employees for flexibility in hours and days worked, a lot of people have opted to go to part-time hours too.

For the last few years we have been in a candidate short market and since 2023 it is as tight as it has been. There are still a lot of jobs being advertised. The UK saw a lot of over 50’s retire out of the workforce following the pandemic. A few are returning now due to the cost of living crisis.

So although we have changed some of the way that we work, we still like to see people in person (even if that means over a video call).

We still verify ID of candidates, test their skills and reference check.

If you want to talk to someone about a job or your next member of staff, please call us on 01202 674488 and one of our friendly team will be pleased to help you.

We are an experienced team of consultants ready to help you. We can share with you our knowledge and experience and help you to find the right job or find you the right candidate.

Jobshop UK is a member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation - the governing body for the recruitment industry. This body, amongst other things, keeps us abreast of current legislation, training courses, better recruitment practices, local events and case studies. We can then help you by advising you on the best course of action at the time.

The Directors, Tracey and Frances, both have a background in Recruitment, Personnel and training prior to setting up Jobshop.

Jobshop UK has operated successfully since 1997 and built a reputation for being an honest, approachable agency offering a personal service to both Clients and Candidates. The formula is based on a few, but very simple principles.

Our Promise:

  • Candidates – we promise to listen, spending time understanding how you want to use your respective skills and talents so that we can find you your next great job. We can  offer you career advice and free computer training.
  • Clients - whenever possible we will visit our clients (obviously during Covid this hasn’t been possible). We believe that face-to-face communication will always be the best but the next best thing is video face to face. A personal relationship coupled with a view of the work place, the associated feel for the culture of the business and the needs of the job will provide an edge in placing a candidate that meets your needs.
  • Honesty/Integrity - at all times we are truthful with both Clients and Candidates, even when news is not good. This simple principle engenders trust by the Client and the Candidate.
  • Professionalism - when dealing with Clients and Candidates we operate in a professional, ethical and friendly manner at all times.

Client
I just want to say a huge thank you from all of us for the work you and your team have put in to provide us with such excellent candidates, it seems we were spoiled for choice. I’m sure those that were successful are going to be great in their new roles.
Michael
Client
Many of the candidates we have recruited through Jobshop have moved into permanent positions following the end of their contracts, which is testament to the quality of candidates matched to the job role.
Connor
Candidate
I just wanted to say how excellent the whole process has been, and can’t thank you enough for your support with my interview preparation, you really were very thorough with how I should prepare. Thanks so much! You’ve been fantastic. So chuffed I got the job!
Mike
Client
Jobshop are my first choice of Recruitment agency because of the professional, friendly, and responsive service received.  I regularly work closely with Frances when we have a staffing vacancy and there is a clear understanding of the requirements of the job, the need for candidates to be a good personality fit and the experience required.
Phil
Temp, Candidate
I was really impressed when, during Covid, an e-Mail went out to all those working remotely/from home to offer support, encourage mental & physical well-being and tips on how to avoid the potential negatives of working ‘solo’. At that point I knew Jobshop were in a class of their own and that I wasn’t just seen as number or a worthless worker. Having registered with a few agencies, the way the lovely people at Jobshop conduct themselves and their approach to a jobseeker is both markedly different and warmly welcome.
Celia
candidate
Job Shop is the 3rd recruitment agency I have contacted with and it’s the best ever.  I appreciate Tracey being so enthusiastic about following my job application.  She was so supportive and gave me resources to prep for my interview.  Finally I managed to secure the position within a week’s time.  Highly recommend!

We can't wait to hear from you.
