Award-winning specialist recruitment consultancy ORB Recruitment was founded in 2018, with ‘big ambitions and a clear vision’. Three years on, operations director Paul Reddish tells unLTD the rapid growth of the company is ‘putting it on the map as a leader in the sector and the region’s business community’.
When we founded ORB back in 2018, we had big ambitions and a clear vision of becoming Yorkshire’s leading recruitment agency. Just over three years on and this dream is well on the way to becoming a reality with the company going from strength to strength.
The firm focuses on the manufacturing, production, healthcare, construction and engineering sectors, providing temporary, permanent, and fully outsourced recruitment solutions to clients across the UK.
Founded in Doncaster, ORB is also dedicated to helping candidates improve their skillsets, offering access and funding to training courses and qualifications. This holistic approach and the team’s willingness to go the extra mile has led to the company’s rapid growth, putting ORB on the map as a leader in both the recruitment sector and the region’s business community, too.
In addition, ORB is proud to have won several awards including at the Doncaster Chamber Business Awards and is a finalist at the Yorkshire and Humber FSB Small Business Awards. ORB MD Stewart Olsen also made it into the prestigious Yorkshire Insider’s 42-under-42 list.
As part of our future growth plans, ORB has recently moved into a larger, self-contained annexe in Doncaster as well as expanding into Scotland with a new office in Edinburgh headed up by Scottish recruitment specialist, Alan Wallace – another sign of the exciting future ahead for the company.
We have an amazing team here and are all proud to have built up excellent relationships with clients and candidates. Thanks to exceptional service standards, we have achieved 100 per cent client retention, with 90 per cent of candidates rating the service eight out of ten or above and more than 80 per cent saying they’d recommend ORB to others.
Developing a strong CSR programme supporting local organisations is very important to me. This year has been no different with donations to a local theatre in South Yorkshire to help during the pandemic, donations to a food bank and sponsoring a local junior and adult football team. We also made a donation to a cancer charity following the sudden death of a staff member of a client. All these factors – impressive and sustainable business growth, excellent candidate placement, client satisfaction rates, an expert team, and emphasis on supporting the local community – have contributed to ORB’s success story.
As our MD Stewart says: “After what has been such a challenging year for businesses up and down the country, we are really excited about what the future holds for us here at ORB and continuing to build and expand on what we have achieved so far.
“Most importantly our staff and the people we work with are the heart of everything we do and that is what really makes us stand out from the crowd.”
