Join a global leader serving critical environments.

We're recruiting for a Critical Environments Sales Specialist on behalf of a well-established international manufacturer whose products help protect some of the most demanding sterile and contamination-controlled environments.

This field-based role offers autonomy, customer-facing responsibility and the opportunity to work with NHS and commercial organisations across a well-established territory. If you're commercially driven and enjoy creating solutions for customers, this role is well worth exploring.

We've been a little quiet on social media recently... but definitely not because we've been quiet!

The last few months have been some of the busiest and most exciting we've had in a long time.

Alongside a new system integration, welcoming Paul to the team, changing IT providers, welcoming new clients, and establishing our temporary and contract worker solution, we also decided it was time for something even bigger... a new office!

Yesterday, we said goodbye to YBN Metro Riverside, which has been home to Extension Recruitment for the past 15 years. It's where we've built relationships, supported clients and candidates, and grown our business.

Now we're excited to be starting a new chapter at The Fed in Dunston. The move gives us the additional space we need and creates a fantastic environment for the next stage of our growth.

A huge thank you to the team, who have gone above and beyond. From building what felt like an endless amount of IKEA furniture to sorting through years of accumulated office belongings and helping make the move run smoothly, everyone has mucked in and made a real difference.

We're not quite finished yet, and there are still a few touches to add before it truly feels like home, but it's already coming together brilliantly.

Here's to new beginnings, new opportunities, and the next chapter for Extension Recruitment. 🚀

💷 Salary transparency could soon become the norm in recruitment.

The UK Government has announced plans that would require employers to include salary information in job adverts, aiming to give candidates greater clarity from the outset and help tackle pay inequality.

While the details are still being finalised, the proposed changes could have a significant impact on recruitment strategies, pay benchmarking and internal compensation structures.

For businesses, it's a good opportunity to review current hiring practices and ensure pay frameworks are clear, fair and competitive.

We'll be keeping a close eye on developments and what they could mean for employers.

The government argues the move would help jobseekers and could reduce pay discrimination claims.
