About Insight Exec Group

insightexecutive.co.uk

Insight Executive Group is a highly successful, boutique recruitment consultancy that specialise in Facilities Management, Procurement, Property & Estates Management and Commercial Management recruitment in both the public and private sectors.

To our customers, we are seen as a radically different consultancy; our ethical and bespoke approach puts long-term relationships with clients and candidates at its core. Having evolved out of a long-established management consultancy, we have found our niche applying their “trusted partner” approach to recruitment. We utilise our trusted network to quality check candidates and to provide recommendations who will excel at surpassing our clients’ needs. The hard-selling, quick-profit transactional practices for which corporate recruitment has become infamous for are a far cry from what we pride ourselves in doing.

Since our inception in 2015, our ongoing success has facilitated steady growth. We’ve consistently achieved over 30% increase in staff and turnover year-on-year. Our growth model is all about stability and sustainability – we expand in areas we excel in so that we can continue to ‘disrupt the acceptable’ across our specialisms. All whilst embracing a trust-based working environment that offers flexibility, clear commission and rewards, as well as fantastic career progression opportunities.
