Passionate people. Inspirational thinking. Extraordinary results.

At Chase Zander, we’re always on the lookout for outstanding people to grow our business. We’re pretty picky, but if you’re passionate, driven and all-round inspirational, you could fit in nicely. We like our people to shine from the inside. You have to ‘get’ our whole company ethos though, because unlike many recruitment companies, our clients and candidates aren’t just sales numbers on a board. We want relationship builders, genuine big picture thinkers, and people who are excited to spend their lives making other people very, very happy.

At Chase Zander, we recruit for IT, Business Change and Executive Appointments. We’ve been leaders in the field since 2002, delivering Search and Selection, Permanent, Interim and Contract recruitment solutions for top-flight candidates and clients across the UK.

Initially specialising in IT and Business Change in the financial services sector, we’ve broadened our consultancy offering to cover executive roles in virtually every major industry and sector.

Unlike your typical sales-focused recruitment company, we reward our people for living up to our values as much as we reward them for performance. That’s the best way to ensure our team members focus on the quality of their service, rather than just the end results – unlike our purely commission-driven competitors. Our work culture is one of integrity, respect, and continuous improvement. We have extremely high standards, and we work with each and every member of our team to give them the best possible tools for success. That’s why our clients know they will always receive the same first-class standard of service, care and attention from any one of our consultants.

It’s an exciting time to join us as we’ve recently invested in state-of-the-art new premises in the City of London at Cannon Street, upgraded our IT infrastructure, launched a brand-new website and have set our sights on profitable growth.

For successful candidates there is an excellent graduate trainee programme which will help you become one of the best in the industry and quickly equip you to deliver intelligent recruitment solutions to board level to the world’s leading companies whilst your peers start at the bottom. You’ll be working alongside some of the best in the industry which with hard work and application will give you every chance to make it to the top.

The ideal candidate will;
*be intelligent and a graduate or of degree calibre
*have superlative communication relationship building skills and a professional attitude
*have a real desire to learn, progress and build a career.
