Who we are.

We’re a team driven by one common goal – improving the lives of others through work.

Our greatest strength is our thirst for knowledge and willingness to improve. Care and passion are reflective in our team, who are experts in their respective disciplines, with extensive experience using innovative, critical thinking to build market-leading talent acquisition processes.

The beating heart of our business.

Our people are the heartbeat of our business, and unceasing innovation and inherent passion is what drives each and every one of us.

This is supplemented by our belief in elevating people through work. We focus on growing our people as relentlessly as we focus on delivering to our clients.

We’re built on the philosophy of Ubuntu.

We’re a soulful business built on the philosophy of collective responsibility and shared purpose based on the principles of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is our guiding principle, and the foundation on which we build long-lasting, trusting relationships.

Helping you find that ‘ah’ moment.

Our mission surpasses recruitment; we are catalysts for growth, propelling businesses to new heights.

When partnering with you we take a consultative approach, analysing existing systems and processes and providing advice and insights into best practice recruitment methodology to ensure continuous future success. That’s what separates us from the competition.

Our principles.

We build our relationships - with clients, communities and with each other - based on our brand principles, designed to promote trust and understanding.

  • Act intentionally. Honour your commitments to our clients and take responsibility for your actions.

  • Put people first. Show compassion and humility in every interaction.

  • Apply consistent effort. Commit to producing exceptional results for our clients and demonstrate a strong desire to achieve them.

  • Solve problems differently. Be solutions-driven and show your creative flair to create great results for your clients.

  • Lean on your holmies – support and encourage one another to grow stronger together.

Our management team.

Our culture and standard of performance set us apart from the industry and this is as a result of the vision of the progressive, revolutionary forward-thinkers who founded this business.

Creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds is a major founding principle of aston holmes. Our talent solutions are more effective and delivered better because of the people we have in our business. We want aston holmes to reflect the communities that we are part of and also to feel like home to people, no matter what background they’re from.

We’re accredited by MSDUK.

We’re proud that our commitment to DE&I at aston holmes has been recognised with our accreditation by MSDUK. This is an environment that pulses with diversity: we are minority owned, 48% of our people come from diverse backgrounds, and a demographic of over 80% powerhouse females. Varying backgrounds add to the wealth of knowledge and perspectives we can offer each other and our clients.
