More applications don't necessarily mean an easier hire.

As the UK jobs market grows more competitive, businesses are seeing fuller inboxes, but sorting through them to find the right person is a different challenge altogether.

That's where Shire & Wold comes in.

We don't believe recruitment should be transactional. We take the time to understand your business, your team, and what the role genuinely calls for. A CV shows experience. We look further, to find the person who actually fits.

We know our markets. We know our candidates. And we build real relationships on both sides, so you spend less time filtering unsuitable applications, and more time feeling confident when the right person is in front of you.

The market shifts. Our approach doesn't: people first, always.

Ready to find your next great hire? Let's talk.

A little look back at a Shire & Wold Staffing summer…

Sunshine, celebrations, plenty of fizz and, most importantly, the brilliant people we’ve been lucky enough to spend it with.

It’s been a summer of conversations, connections, new opportunities and successful placements, with a rather lovely summer party somewhere in between.

But we’re not quite ready to call time on 2026 yet.

There are more roles to fill, more exceptional people to meet and plenty more introductions still to be made. And as we head towards autumn, we’re rather excited to see what the rest of the year has in store.

So, goodbye summer sunshine… maybe. This is Britain, after all.

And hello to new opportunities, a new season and, arguably most importantly, the return of the knitwear.

Here’s to the next chapter.

Five roles, live right now.⁠
⁠
A House Manager/Cook in Kidlington — full-time, £60,000–£70,000. The kind of dual role that suits someone who runs a household properly and cooks well enough that nobody's choosing between the two skills.⁠
⁠
A Housekeeper in Kingham — £45,000, full-time, live-in. Not a checklist role. The household wants someone who notices what needs doing before they're asked.⁠
⁠
A Private Cook in Kingham — £45,000, live-in. Family cooking done properly, day in and day out, not events catering dressed up as a permanent job.⁠
⁠
A Domestic Couple in Kingham — £75,000–£80,000 combined, live-in. One of the harder briefs to fill well, because it needs two people who actually work as a team, not two CVs that happen to share a surname.⁠
⁠
A Housekeeper in Oxford — £48,000–£55,000, full-time, live-in. City-based, but the standard expected is exactly the same as anything in the Cotswolds.⁠
⁠
If any of these match your experience, the reference is on the card. Enquire directly, or message us and we'll point you to the right consultant.⁠
New roles land every week. This is just what's live today.⁠
