About Us
Jacob Grey is a boutique recruitment agency based in Watford. We specialise in placing finance and accountancy staff throughout Herts, Beds, Bucks and North London. Our experienced team recruit the whole range of positions from Finance Directors to Accounts Assistants on both a permanent and temporary basis.
Our Vision
Jacob Grey was co-founded in 2020 by close friends, Olly Davies and Russell Edmonds. Their vision was to build an exceptional local recruitment agency. Something they could be really proud of.
“When we launched Jacob Grey, we didn’t set out to be the biggest or to dramatically ‘re-invent the recruitment wheel’. Our goal was to combine everything we’d learnt from the industry and create a really impressive, local finance consultancy.”
Russell Edmonds – Managing Director
Our Ethos
Our business is built on a lot of hard work, determination and experience. But what truly distinguishes Jacob Grey from the competition is our ethos. A commitment to delivering an exceptional recruitment experience…not just to the clients and candidates we work with, but to the people we employ.
We’ve listened and we’ve learnt over the years. And we focus on the things that really matter. Our clients receive the highest calibre of staff, our candidates can expect a dedicated job search on their behalf, and our team are provided with a flexible, fun and hugely rewarding culture.
An Exceptional Service
Our People
Our exceptional service begins with the individuals we employ. With many years of experience between us, we’re quietly confident in our ability to recruit. But you’ll also find us approachable, fun and genuine. People you’ll enjoy working with as well as depend upon.
High Calibre Candidates
Jacob Grey are very selective about the candidates they represent. We believe they’re amongst the best on the market. We view them not as numbers on a database but as members of a ‘VIP club’ who we’re proud to represent. By ensuring they possess the relevant technical skills, interpersonal skills, and the right level of commitment, our clients are consistently offered the highest calibre of candidate.
Dedicated Recruitment Partner to our Clients
Recruitment can be a daunting and time-consuming process. It makes sense therefore to have a trusted recruitment partner by your side. An agency who understands you, your business, and of course the vacancy you’re hiring for. This emphasis on building long term, consultative relationships with our clients is at the heart of our strategy.
Candidate Commitment
All too often a candidate registers with an agency, never to hear from them again. Not at Jacob Grey. Because we’re particular about who we represent, we commit to giving our candidates an exceptional service. This includes a proactive job search on their behalf, ongoing career advice, and naturally…returning their phone calls!
