About us

Office Collective was set up in 2017 originally known as ‘The Office Club’. We re branded in 2018 with a vision to create an agency that creates a positive impact based on honesty, authenticity and trust with both our clients and candidates.

Our Philosophy

We are deeply invested in the clients & candidates that we work with.

Often, the best match will transpire from unforeseen places. Occasionally, thinking outside the box brings that one-off, exclusive individual who has come from a completely diverse professional background. Skill sets are transferrable, and we are here to break the mould with a fresh and innovative approach.

Our goal is to create a partnership that is based on expertise, emotional intelligence, motivations and long-term aspirations. We specialise in finding talent that will genuinely compliment an individual organisation’s needs.

We take the time to listen to your specific desires and gain an understanding of your long-term goals and objectives.

Diversity

We are committed to improving the level of diversity and inclusion within the workplace.

We believe that by recruiting individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds, businesses are able to gain an extensive variation of viewpoints and perspectives.

Companies with employees from a broad range of backgrounds are known to outperform those with a less diverse workforce.

We are aware that implementing and adopting a new diversity strategy can be a challenge. By working together as a partnership, we help our clients to take on a new and innovative approach to access a more diverse talent pool.

Exploring specific strategies to develop a company culture that embraces diversity and reaches out to new sources of talent can help create a diverse and valued workforce that stands beyond the competition.
