We are built on one simple purpose: making it easy. We headhunt properly, act as an extension of our clients’ teams & deliver quality over quantity.

We do the right thing (every damn time) & we dig deep to understand the people, not just the job titles.

Hiring in 2026 looks very different to even a few years ago.

Candidates aren’t just looking at salary anymore. They’re looking at:

✔ Flexibility
✔ Career progression
✔ Company values
✔ Wellbeing
✔ A smooth hiring experience

And if employers aren’t adapting?

The best talent is moving on to businesses that are.

Which one do you think matters most to candidates today?

🚩 Some job ads tell you everything you need to know… without actually saying it.

Missing salary.
No working hours.
Unrealistic experience requirements.

Candidates are spotting red flags faster than ever.

A good job advert should attract people for the right reasons, not leave them decoding corporate riddles.

At OBR Group, we believe recruitment should be straightforward — no guessing games, no fluff, just clear opportunities and honest conversations.

After all… we’re all about Making it Easy. 😉

What’s the biggest red flag you’ve seen in a job advert? 👇

A rare moment where we’re all in one place… well, nearly 👀

Between calls, interviews, and everything in between - this is the team behind OBR Group.

Liv missed the photo… which feels very on brand for recruitment life... someone’s always on a call 📞

We’ll get the full team next time… maybe 😅

Your CV might be doing more harm than you think… 😬

We see it all the time... Great candidates missing out on interviews, not because they lack experience, but because their CV isn’t telling the right story.

We’ve pulled together a few simple but powerful CV tips that can genuinely make the difference between being overlooked… and getting that interview invite.

🔹 Lead with achievements, not just duties
🔹 Tailor your CV for each role
🔹 Keep it clean, clear & easy to read
🔹 Make your personal profile work harder
🔹 Don’t underestimate the small details

Because in a competitive market, small tweaks can create big opportunities.

When your CV tells the right story, interviews follow.

At OBR Group, we’re all about Making it Easy. From improving your CV to helping you land the right role in Engineering, Manufacturing, Finance and Head Office functions.

And if your CV needs a second opinion… we’ve got you. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼

They couldn’t see who we picked… 👀🔥

We asked “Who’s most likely to…?”
and then moved behind the Director we chose.

No clues. No turning around. No defence 😅

Some of these decisions were made VERY quickly…

🎥 Watch to see who got exposed the most

🔥 We’re taking fundraising to the next level… literally 🔥

At OBR Group, we’re all about Making it Easy…
…but this time, we’re doing something that’s anything but.

Our team is taking on a sponsored fire walk to raise money for Cash for Kids - yes, that does mean walking barefoot over hot coals… and no, we haven’t quite figured out how we agreed to it. 😅

But the truth is, this isn’t really about the fire.

It’s about the children and young people across the UK who are facing incredibly tough circumstances and the small things many of us take for granted that can make a world of difference to them.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰.

So while we’re stepping out of our comfort zone (and onto something significantly hotter), we’re doing it to help create real change where it’s needed most.

💛 If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it genuinely will make a difference
🔥 If not, a share goes further than you think!

We’ll be sharing updates after… hopefully with big smiles and only slightly toasted feet. 😄

Meet Olivia ✨

Our newest team member, Olivia, joins us with a wealth of knowledge in Engineering & Manufacturing recruitment, so it’s safe to say she’s hit the ground running (we barely had time to show her where the kettle is 😂).

We’re absolutely delighted to have you on board and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you at OBR Group 🚀

Welcome to the team, Olivia!

We’ve got some exciting news…

We’re proud to have received the Steel City Growth Award 🏆

Safe to say, this wasn’t something we were keeping quiet…

Even if it meant interrupting annual leave for a quick FaceTime call 📲

This award is a huge milestone for OBR Group and a reflection of the hard work, consistency, and graft the whole team puts in day in, day out.

From our candidates to our clients, thank you for trusting us. We wouldn’t be here without you.

And of course… to the team behind it all - this one’s for you 👏

Here’s to continued growth (and maybe letting people finish their holidays next time… maybe 😉)

It’s National Pet Day tomorrow… and it would be rude not to show off our four legged colleagues 🐾

From loyal companions to full time mischief-makers, here are a few of the real VIPs behind OBR Group.

We're clearly dog lovers here at OBR 😂

Here’s a little glimpse of the OBR office pets aren’t they a handsome bunch? 🥺
