Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from recruitment agencies in Cardiff every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Great placements but not enough reviews
50 reviews vs 8 — the one with more looks like the safer bet, regardless of actual performance.
Not showing up in local recruitment searches
Employers searching nearby check Google first. If your agency isn't visible, you're not in the running.
Your website doesn't attract candidates either
Top candidates register with agencies that look professional. A dated website puts them off.
Repeat business going to the agency with the best online presence
Employers who used you once still check online before placing again. If a competitor looks stronger, they might switch.
What We Do for Recruitment Agencies
Four things that work together to bring you a steady stream of enquiries and calls — week after week.
Professional Website
A fast, mobile-friendly website with your phone number, enquiry form, and reviews front and centre. Built to turn visitors into calls.
Google Maps
We optimise your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map pack when people search for your trade locally.
More Reviews
An automated system that asks your customers for a Google review after every job. More reviews means more trust and higher rankings.
Local Services Ads
Google puts your business at the top of search with your reviews and a Google Verified badge. You only pay when someone actually calls.
The Cardiff Market for Recruitment Agencies
Cardiff is split between Roath, Canton, Pontcanna, Cathays and many more areas, all served by the CF postcode. Victorian and Edwardian terraces from the coal export era, inter-war semis, and modern Bay developments. Victorian coal boom housing, with extensive inter-war suburbs and modern Cardiff Bay regeneration. Each neighbourhood has its own quirks and its own demand patterns.
Search behaviour in Cardiff for recruitment agencies centres heavily on finding skilled candidates, high staff turnover, temp to perm transitions. Peaks in January and September when businesses plan new hires; quiet in August and December. The recruitment agencies who win consistently are the ones who appear at the top of Google when those searches happen, with the right credentials (Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate) clearly displayed.
Cardiff has around 50-100 recruitment agencies competing for the same pool of customers. Most have either no website or one that does not rank. That is the gap we fill: a site that gets found, a profile that builds trust, and a system that makes sure no call goes unanswered.
South Wales maritime climate; mild and wet, prone to flooding near the River Taff. Cardiff recruitment agencies who ignore the local context tend to compete on price. The ones who show up consistently online compete on trust — and trust pays better.
Search demand in Cardiff is real and measurable. Top queries for recruitment agencies here are "recruitment agency near me", "jobs Cardiff", "recruitment Cardiff". Capital of Wales, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff Bay regeneration, Senedd (Welsh Parliament). We build SEO content that targets these queries directly, then back it up with a Google Business Profile that converts the click.
Most recruitment agencies working Cardiff also serve Barry, Penarth, Caerphilly, Pontypridd and beyond — that's where the real volume of work lives. Your customers tend to be small and medium businesses needing staff, job seekers, hr departments needing temporary cover, and they're scattered across the region. A site optimised only for Cardiff leaves money on the table.
