Creating the best place to work in the UK

Why join Sapphire?

We’re an employee-owned business with a shared ambition to build something exceptional for our clients, our contractors and our people. Our team brings energy, expertise and a collaborative approach to helping recruitment agencies grow with confidence.

What we offer

Employee ownership

Being a Sapphire employee means you are also a part-owner in our business, and you’ll be eligible for tax-free employee-ownership bonuses.

Trips and social events

We’re a sociable bunch, and we hold regular meet-ups and incentive trips abroad – including Las Vegas, New York, Barcelona and Budapest.

Office perks

Our employees get to work in a state-of-the-art office, which includes an in-house bar and breakout spaces. Fresh fruit is delivered daily, and there are weekly smoothies too.

Enhanced leave

You’ll get 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service, plus an extra day off for your birthday. We also offer enhanced parental leave and generous study support.

Employee benefits

We offer an electric vehicle salary-sacrifice scheme, in addition to a Simply Health cashback plan and other comprehensive benefits.

Genuine progression

We’ll help you climb the ranks at your pace, and we’re serious about progression. Over 50% of our Senior Leaders and 100% of middle management have progressed from entry-level roles.

Sapphire is a trusted, compliance-first partner. Alex is always on hand, respectful of our preferred ways of working and quick to resolve queries and payment issues. As umbrella legislation changes, their audit-ready approach and clear, timely communication give us and our contractors real confidence.

Sophie Anderson, Associate Director, Venn Group

I have worked with Sapphire for a number of years and have consistently found their service and attention to detail in account management to be exceptional. Marcus, in particular, stands out — he resolves any issues quickly and, no matter how busy he is, always takes the time to personally speak with customers and clients. That level of dedication goes a long way. I would highly recommend Sapphire.

Jim Fleming, Director, Buildforce Solutions

I’ve worked with Sapphire for years and brought the relationship over to my own agency. They register temps quickly, keep us updated throughout and make sure they’re paid reliably each week. Any issues are resolved swiftly, allowing me to focus on placing temps with complete confidence. Jake’s guidance was also invaluable when launching my business, and the whole team consistently goes the extra mile. I see Sapphire as an extension of my accounts department and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Luke Lysandrou, Director, LLC Recruitment

We’ve worked with Sapphire for over a year and have found them an excellent company to deal with. The Quartz system is easy to use, but what really stands out is their proactive customer support and willingness to listen, adapt and accommodate the specific requirements of our business. Ray, Shauna and the wider team are responsive, practical and genuinely great people to work with. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them.
