Major Recruitment

What Major Recruitment does

Major Recruitment Ltd. is a privately-held UK recruitment services firm headquartered in Huddersfield, operating through its Major Healthcare division to deliver temporary, contract, and permanent staffing across the health and social care sectors nationwide. The division serves two principal customer segments: Supporting Adults (dementia, Alzheimer's, complex care, learning disabilities, mental health, and physical disabilities in care homes and community settings) and Supporting Children (vulnerable children with autism, PMLD, EBD, and acquired brain injury in family homes, residential services, and semi-secure settings). Clients include local authorities and care home operators across England, served via three regional branches in Ashford (Kent), Doncaster (South Yorkshire), and Aycliffe (North East).

The company's core offering is a relationship-driven, B2B professional services model rather than a technology platform. Distribution is through a regional branch network staffed by specialist consultants who have prior working experience in healthcare, nursing, and social care, supplemented by an online registration portal, a vacancies portal, and downloadable timesheets hosted on a Wix-based website. The firm has no disclosed AI, proprietary software, API, or SDK; its value proposition rests on consultant expertise, compliance documentation (Safer Recruitment, GDPR, Candidate Compliance, Data Retention), and bespoke matching for complex care requirements.

Revenue is generated via placement fees for permanent hires and ongoing markup on temporary and contract billings, with pricing negotiated per engagement. With 11-50 employees and three branches, the firm operates at a small-to-mid scale within the fragmented UK health and social care staffing market. There is no disclosed funding, no M&A history, no patents or awards, and no public ownership; the company is described as an independent, privately-held private limited company.

Broad incumbents

• Pertemps Network Group: Major UK staffing group with a healthcare division supplying nurses, carers, and support workers. Comparable in temporary and permanent healthcare staffing delivery through a branch network, but operates across a much wider sector portfolio.
• Reed Specialist Recruitment: One of the UK's largest generalist recruitment firms with a dedicated healthcare division. Comparable in offering healthcare and social care placements nationally, but operates across many other sectors as well, giving it broader scale.
• Hays plc: Global recruitment firm with a UK healthcare and social care practice placing doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals. Overlaps in candidate sourcing but operates as a broad incumbent across many industries.

Direct peers

• Medacs Healthcare: One of the largest UK healthcare staffing providers supplying doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals. Highly comparable business model of temporary, contract, and permanent healthcare placements across the UK.
• HCL Healthcare: UK healthcare staffing specialist placing doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and social care staff on temporary and permanent contracts. Direct competitor in the UK health and social care recruitment market.
• Sanctuary Personnel: UK-based health and social care recruitment agency supplying professionals to NHS trusts, local authorities, and private providers. Comparable in vertical specialisation and mix of temporary and permanent placements.
• Newcross Healthcare: UK healthcare staffing and home care provider placing nurses, support workers, and carers across NHS trusts, care homes, and community settings. Comparable in serving both complex adult care and broader health staffing demand.
• Service Care Solutions: UK recruitment agency specialising in social care, criminal justice, and healthcare staffing for local authorities and the NHS. Closely comparable given the shared focus on local authority social care commissioning and complex-needs placements.
• Pulse Healthcare: UK-based healthcare staffing agency providing temporary and permanent medical, nursing, and allied health professionals to NHS and private clients. Directly comparable as a UK healthcare-focused staffing firm competing for the same candidate pool and client contracts.

Emerging players

• Florence: Digital-first UK platform connecting care homes and NHS trusts with nurses and carers on a shift-by-shift basis. Comparable end market (UK health and social care staffing) but distinct technology-led delivery model that pressures traditional agency margins.
