Hear from othersSee what Concept can do.

Before joining Concept I had no prior experience of recruitment what-so-ever. Prior to Concept, I had nearly 4 years Retail experience and ran my own Make Up free-lance business during that time; I had excellent sales and organisational skills. Concept was brought to my attention by a current employee, and the rest is history! Concept really took a chance on me and I am so grateful for the opportunity… I am so glad I took the plunge and would encourage anyone else thinking of pursuing a career in Recruitment to do the same!
