We’re proud to announce that FBR Recruitment has been shortlisted for the REC Awards’ Best Company to Work For category for organisations with under 20 employees. This recognition is a true reflection of the hard work, dedication, and positive culture our team brings every day. Being shortlisted is an incredible achievement, and it motivates us to continue nurturing an environment where our people can thrive.
At FBR, our vision is simple: to be the business of choice for both clients and candidates. We achieve this by building long-term relationships through honesty, integrity, and a consultative approach. Our core values of trust, flexibility, community, and people-first service shape everything we do, from how we place candidates to how we work together and give back to the community.
Last year, we raised £2,500 for Abby’s Heroes, and this year we have already smashed our £4,000 fundraising target for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, with more exciting charity events still to come. These initiatives reflect our belief that a great workplace is one that also gives back.
We believe in empowering our team to grow. Every consultant receives tailored training, clear career pathways, and monthly check-ins that focus on professional and personal goals. We actively support external development through recognised certifications, including REC training, Mental Health First Aid, and NEBOSH for those specialising in health and safety recruitment.
Our collaborative culture ensures everyone has a voice. Team members are involved in shaping business strategy, improving internal processes, and planning charity events. Their ideas are listened to and often implemented, creating a sense of ownership and pride across the business. As one consultant says, “This is an incredible place to work. The culture embraces diversity, empowers people, and encourages fresh thinking. There is no micromanagement, just recognition for those who go the extra mile.”
Recognition and celebration are key to our culture. Team lunches, office treats, birthday celebrations, summer BBQs, and charity events like our golf day ensure our people feel valued and appreciated. Flexible working arrangements, private healthcare, generous holiday policies, and volunteer opportunities further show our commitment to a people-first workplace.
Our employees often highlight the unique combination of professionalism and warmth that makes FBR so special. As one team member explains, “After 20 years in recruitment, I have never worked anywhere like this. The values of honesty, integrity, and hard work are lived every day. People feel valued, supported, and inspired. It is a company with heart.”
Another adds, “FBR encourages everyone to bring their whole selves to work. You are trusted to do your job and supported when challenges arise. The leadership genuinely cares about your growth and wellbeing, which makes all the difference.”
“I have never felt so supported in my career. Every success is celebrated and every challenge is met with encouragement. The sense of community here is remarkable and it motivates me to give my best every day.”
Being shortlisted for the Best Company to Work For award is a huge honour and reflects the commitment, passion, and teamwork that make FBR a special place to work. We are proud of our people, proud of our culture, and excited to continue building a workplace where everyone feels empowered to thrive, grow, and make a difference.

Friday the 13th might be unlucky for some, but not for us! On Friday 13th June, FBR hosted its annual Charity Golf Day in support of the 
Bramshaw’s scenic fairways were in top condition, though some of us definitely found more rough than green. There were whispers of wild deer sightings… but most people were just startled by Jordan’s dramatic bunker meltdown on Hole 7. Between towering trees and sneaky bunkers, Bramshaw was the ideal course, beautiful, challenging, and perfect for blaming the terrain when your shot ended up in a different postcode.
Every year on June 5th, people across the globe mark World Environment Day, a time to reflect on how we care for the planet.
