David Pitts

Director

I’m David Pitts, and after 25 years in Supply Chain, including as a director, I joined The HR Recruiters to bring calm, focus, and process-driven recruitment to life.

I believe recruitment works best when the process is right, smooth, efficient, and delivering the right result.

Outside work, I value time with family, cycling, and maybe one day learning the guitar.

Barney

Chief Morale Officer

Barney is our much-loved office dog and unofficial Chief Morale Booster, keeping spirits high with boundless energy and daily cuddles.

This Australian Doodle bounces into the office full of excitement and a hopeful eye on treats.

When he’s not winning hearts, he ensures the atmosphere stays positive and welcoming, because recruitment works best when everyone’s spirits are up.

What it’s like to work with The HR Recruiters

Working with us feels less like hiring an agency and more like adding a knowledgeable partner to your team for the length of the search.

Because HR recruitment is the only thing we do, you won’t spend the first meeting explaining the difference between an HR Business Partner and a Head of People, or why the role you’re filling actually matters. We get it, because we understand the HR function from the inside. That’s what makes our HR recruitment different from a generalist agency juggling ten sectors at once. From the first conversation, we listen properly.

  • We want to understand your business, your culture, and what “the right person” genuinely looks like for you, not just the job title on the brief.
  • There’s no hard sell and no CVs fired over in bulk. Instead, you get a focused, retained HR recruitment process led by real people who know this market and treat your reputation as carefully as their own, because in a small, well-connected HR world, word travels.
  • You’ll stay in control of the decisions that matter while we do the legwork of the search: mapping the market, approaching senior candidates directly, assessing them against your actual brief, and bringing you a short, considered shortlist rather than a stack of paper to wade through.
  • We keep you updated, we’re straight with you about what’s realistic, and we’re easy to get hold of when you need us.
  • Clients tell us the experience is refreshingly human and refreshingly honest, and they come back to us for their next senior hire because of it.

 

If you want HR recruitment that’s thorough, personal, and built around getting it right rather than getting it done quickly, that’s exactly what it’s like to work with us. And yes, Barney the office dog is part of the team too.
