// Who we are

The talent partner you actually want to call.

Founded

Founded in 2023, we're already built on 130+ years of industry experience which is no mistake. We specialise in recruiting across Logistics, Supply Chain, HR, Finance and Sales & Commercial roles at a global level.

How we work

Being obsessed with a customer first consultative approach, vacancy fill ratios and overall candidate & client retention metrics - the importance of a true partnership is absolutely at the heart of the way we work.

We don't celebrate just any generic “job on” - in fact we openly encourage working on fewer briefs, only those within our lane but with a much more deep rooted client relationship led approach, formed over time to achieve results we can both be proud of.

What we stand for

Loom was built on two core principles: to do the job properly, reinstating often forgotten values lost in the recruitment industry for our candidates & clients, and to build a business our own people can be proud of, treating and rewarding them fairly with an honest and entrepreneurial spirited approach.

CASE STUDY · BLECKMANN
  • 56%interview to hire ratio
  • 97%of offers accepted
  • 5%attrition inside 3 months
  • 100%Complete

It started with a single, trusted conversation.

Bleckmann's biggest UK win in years came with a significant condition attached: a new 760,000 sq. ft. site in Lutterworth, a non-negotiable customer go-live date, and 48 brand new management roles to fill. All 48 managers were in place before the fixed go-live date, and the site outperformed anticipated volumes from week 2.

The Brief

Every relationship starts somewhere.

We'll make every attempt to come and see you in person, getting to know the business and overall culture before we talk about the role. Your brief then sits with the sector specialist who covers your region, has a proven network and who ensures we go much deeper than just keyword or job title matching. We fill 92% of all roles from the first 5 CVs shortlisted.

1
Step one

Brief us.

A JD is only half the story, at best. So we start by asking plenty of questions about the experience and cultural fit you need, and about the sticking points that can trip a search up later, whether that's shift patterns, home working, the benefits package or how the role grows into leadership. We go into that detail at the start, because a brief that's wrong from day one, stays wrong.

2
Step two

Proof inside 24 hours.

For core roles you'll see at least two strong, hireable CVs within 24 hours. This isn't your shortlist. It's our way of demonstrating a true understanding of your need whilst providing you confidence in our capability and that you're dealing with the right partner.

3
Step three

We aim for six at the most on a shortlist.

We'll shortlist typically six people, especially those interviewed ourselves that we feel will fit your team culturally as much as technically, not just what's on paper. We move as quickly as the role needs us to, because an empty seat costs.

4
Step four

Secure your hire, we stay close.

We manage the offer from the very first conversation, on both the candidate & client side ensuring minimal lost time to failed processes. Once onboard, our aftercare programme kicks in during the notice period, start date and the first few months as a minimum.

Our clients come back, and that only happens if the hire sticks.
