About Us

Brook Street first opened its doors in 1946, founded by Margery Hurst who set to work with little more than an idea and a drive to succeed. Her ambition was clear; following the end of World War 2 to deliver a quality recruitment service and to supply London with talented temps. Over 70 years later, our founder’s drive remains ingrained in the way we work. We’ve grown into one of the UK’s leading recruitment agencies − matching thousands of people with meaningful job opportunities at more than 4,500 companies every year. Delivering a quality service to suit the needs of clients and candidates alike was important to our founder Margery Hurst and it remains important to us today.

A little bit more about us

Across our 50+ high street locations, we make hiring and job searching more personal. Our nationwide reach means we can engage with jobseekers and employers in person, allowing us to perfectly tailor our approach to their unique requirements. But we also have the nationwide infrastructure and innovative technology that’s needed to make the process seamless and hassle free. That’s why jobseekers turn to us when they’re looking to change roles, take the first step into employment, or re-enter the workplace. And it’s why employers across all sectors trust us to find their ideal new recruits, no matter how big or small their hiring requirements.

Going the extra mile

Recruitment is about so much more than just filling job vacancies. It’s about giving people the chance to unleash their full potential, through their perfect new role. And it’s about helping companies to thrive, by recruiting the workers they need to drive their business forward. The very nature of what we do means that Corporate Social Responsibility is embedded in all four corners of our organisation.

Accreditation and Awards

We’re driven to deliver the best possible service clients and candidates alike. We’ve received an ISO 9001:2015certification for our high quality recruitment services; we’ve met the requirements of the Government-backed Cyber Essentials Security Scheme; and our robust compliance, auditing and workforce management processes enabled us to be awarded with a Gangmasters Licence, too (GLAA licensed: BROO0002). We are also members of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), whose Code of Good Recruitment Practices ensure the highest possible standards across its member base.

In addition, we have also been named a Disability Confident Leader Organisation (Level 3), a government scheme which aims to help employers recruit, retain and develop people with disabilities and long-term conditions into employment.
