Stopgap is not a ‘typical’ recruitment consultancy and we don’t want you to have a ’typical’ recruitment experience. Here are a few reasons why we’re different:

		It’s all about you. Our candidates and clients come back to us time and time again because, quite simply, we put people first.
		Our consultants are experienced and knowledgeable ex-market researchers. We believe you have to have served your time in research in order to recruit into it.
		Our consultants are not paid a commission for each job they fill, which means you can be certain you’ll get unbiased, objective advice.
		We won’t pigeon hole our candidates. We’ll listen to what you want to do as much as understand what you are capable of doing.
