We Are Stirling Warrington
We’re aiming to be the best recruitment agency in the Midlands. So, we’ll start by becoming the best place to work.
From our Office to our Benefits. Our Technology to Service Offering. We will be the best agency to work at. Why is this important? If you’re happy at work, the service you deliver is better. And we aim to provide a recruitment service that is consultative, proactive and bespoke.
We’d say that we’re on the track for this little vision. As we’ve quadrupled in size since 2017 (and that’s with a pandemic in the middle of it). So, what have we done to make Stirling Warrington the best place for recruiters in the midlands to work?
Who we are
So. Who are Stirling Warrington? Well, we’re an eclectic group of recruiters that are all invested in becoming the best. Whether that be the best engineering or building products recruiter, or the best marketers. We’ve set our sights on the sky and are working together to achieve our goals. You can meet the team on our about us page!
In terms of what we do, we’re a specialist agency that focuses on recruitment within the engineering, technical engineering and building products industries. For many years, we focused on manufacturers. However, we’ve now branched out to support more of the supply chain.
Over the next 18 months, we’re planning on doubling the business again. So, that means working even closer with our current clients, expanding into new markets and hiring more fantastic people. People that are invested in doing recruitment the right way.

So, you can really take the lead in your career. We’ll just be here to support you! Click the tabs to learn from a few of our teams’ experiences!
Recruitment Management Training
Jonny Gardner - ILM Training
Becoming a manager was always part of my long-term career goals. However, it wasn’t something that I wanted to go into blindly. So, I found an ILM course that would give me a solid foundation to develop my management skills. Stirling Warrington jumped at the opportunity to support me with this endeavour.
Marketing Training
Hannah Kirk - Marketing Courses
If you’re not keeping at the forefront of the marketing industry you will fall behind. When I found an interesting 4-day course, I asked if I could attend. Adam was more than happy to put me on the course! Adam continues to recommend courses to me as well. It’s an amazing feeling to know that my development is supported!
Memberships Enrolment
Chloe Scarano - Girls in Marketing
I was a little hesitant when asking about a membership like the Girls in Marketing Group. As it isn’t something I’ve done before. However, when I asked it felt like it wasn’t something out of the ordinary. In fact, they were thrilled that I had brought something to them that would impact both me and the business positively.

FAQ’s
If you’re thinking about joining the recruitment industry, you probably have a couple of burning questions that just need answering. So, we put together a little FAQ from the questions we hear (or see) the most.
This is one of the first questions that we’ll hear from those looking to join the industry. Like any job, working in recruitment has its ups and downs. The sector really is a roller coaster that can go from having multiple candidates at interviews, to none in an instant. However, the key to making recruitment not a hard job is to focus on the process and the way you build relationships. But, ultimately, you are dealing with people at the end of the day- and everyone can have an off day!
Recruitment as a career is very much about how much you put in. So, if you put in a lot you get back a lot. Sometimes this means having to work longer hours, like to catch candidates when they’re not at work. Or going to networking groups to meet new clients. At SW we work a 37.5-hour week at the office, but many of us work extra to get keep us ahead of the competition.
Well, that depends on the agency. For us working in recruitment is epitomised in our values:
Do the right thing – which is about taking accountability of our actions, respecting our colleagues, candidates and clients and always having the needs of our customers at the centre of what we do.
Find the solution – Being service lead and consultative. We don’t want to shoehorn a solution to a problem. We should give/add value and make the most of every situation.
Embrace change – recruitment changes quickly. So, this is about being open-minded to this change and always thinking about the bigger picture. Which enables us to adapt to situations whilst remaining positive.
