About Us

Our Company

For more than 20 years, Barclay has been more than a recruitment agency.

We understand the unique needs and aspirations of organisations and candidates, striving for stronger, more thoughtful matches that lead to bigger growth and robust outcomes.

We don’t just fill roles; we foster enriching connections, championing values, ambition, and culture alignment.

We ensure every placement is a step towards a more prosperous, harmonious future.

We go the extra mile, ensuring sustained success and stronger outcomes for everyone we work with.

At Barclay Recruitment, we go beyond.

Our Values

These act as our trusty compass that guides every action we take and decisions we make.

Play for each other.

Have fun, we never turn down a reason to celebrate. We get a lot done and enjoy ourselves along the way. Celebrate action, reward success, and learn from failure. That means we show up for each other, act with empathy, and bring our authentic selves to work every day.

Work ethics wins.

We believe the teams willing to put in the extra effort, go the extra mile, and are accountable for their actions, will be the ones who will see their visions and dreams realised.

Remember the man in the hole.

We know the way out, we have been where you are before, don’t panic. Seeking counsel is a sign of strength not weakness. Be considerate and courageous. Say no, stand your ground and fall on your sword; but most of all, act with our colleagues’, candidates’, and clients’ best interests at heart at all times.

In all things, generosity.

We believe in giving back, not only to our clients and candidates but also to our community and each other. Our journey is fueled by a spirit of abundance, where we wholeheartedly share our successes, knowledge, and resources.

Cultivating Raving Fans

We create Raving Fans of our clients, candidates, and of each other. Our unwavering commitment to excellence drives us to surpass expectations, leaving an indelible mark on all those we serve. We aspire to create lasting connections and exceptional experiences for all.

Act now.

Act now, act often, and consistently. We know the numbers, we know the system, and we know it works. Be decisive, a bad decision is normally better than no decision at all. Urgency and persistence are the keys to our success. “I will persist until I succeed.”
