Founded in 2008 by Matthew Clement and Kevin O’Brien, Williams Kent is a highly distinctive and independent recruitment business. With more than 30 years of direct recruitment experience, they met and worked as business leaders in one of the UK’s largest recruitment organisations.
Williams Kent was created with the vision to develop a highly specialised consultancy that puts candidates and clients first.
At Williams Kent, we provide comprehensive recruitment services to companies and organisations throughout the UK and across the globe. We pride ourselves on utilising our leading, expert knowledge of the international HR and Reward markets to support our clients in finding the right people for their business, and assisting candidates in finding their next perfect role.
With a customer-first philosophy, each and every one of our consultants personalise their approach by adapting to the needs of our clients and candidates, and by providing outstanding service. We work exceptionally hard to ensure that we provide unique, effective and value-added recruitment services.
We really do go the extra mile when helping our customers on a personal and professional level. A great example of this dedication was when one of our consultants babysat a candidate’s child, while they attended their interview!
Visions & Values
Our vision is to be valued by our clients and candidates as “Europe’s leading niche HR and Reward recruitment consultancy”, and equally valued by our staff as one of the best companies to work for.
Collaborative
Collaboration is our best formation. Our team at Williams Kent are not only colleagues who work closely together, but we view ourselves as one big family. It is the way we work best, ensuring commitment and consistency. This leads to continuity and longevity of service for our staff, which in turn generates loyal and long term business relationships. We believe in creative collaboration, communication and teamwork, enabling mutual respect with the people we work with.
Committed
Committed to providing our clients and candidates with the highest quality, expert recruitment services. Delivering on an efficient and comprehensive recruitment process, whilst building loyal and long term relationships. We are committed to continuously building our company through hard work, determination and passion.
Agile
Agile in response to a dynamic and changing market. We are flexible with our approach and ensure that our services are tailored and personalised to suit our clients and candidates individual needs.
Fun & Professional
Fun and Professional do not normally come under the same heading, but why can’t work be fun? Happiness is an integral part of who we are and what we do. At Williams Kent we embrace a lively, enthusiastic and collaborative workplace - where our staff not only work together to ensure the best outcome is achieved, but have fun in the process. We strive for the same approach with our clients and candidates, hence why partnership and relationship building is at the heart of our organisation.
Charity
At the heart of Williams Kent is our commitment to caring and developing relationships with
the wider community. We have chosen to partner with Willow Foundation, a charity close to
our hearts and in line with our company values and ethos. As a business we are focused on
matching candidates and clients, optimising their working lives and via Willow we hope to
extend this by helping others fulfill their dreams.
The vision of Willow Foundation is to support seriously ill young adults at the most difficult
time of their lives and to create an unforgettable special day for them.
Each unique experience is a positive focus away from treatment or marks recovery from illness.
The planning, anticipation, and excitement of the day itself boosts confidence and provides
inspiration to make every moment count.
