Diverse Recruitment Group

What Diverse Recruitment Group does

Diverse Recruitment Group is a UK-based, privately held recruitment holding company headquartered in London, operating a portfolio of six specialist recruitment brands covering the public sector, consultancy, infrastructure, healthcare and veterinary services. Its two named sub-brands are Social Personnel, which places qualified social workers, team managers, IROs and business support staff into UK local authorities, and Imperium Resourcing, which serves healthcare and consultancy clients. The group sells staffing services to enterprise and government clients — including Southampton City Council, Lambeth Council, Kent County Council and City of York Council — through dedicated account management and consultant teams, wrapping placement with Compliance+ standard vetting, payroll, submissions and aftercare support.

The business is structured as a multi-brand roll-up under founder-led ownership, with Tommy Love as Founder & Managing Director and dedicated brand-level managing directors (e.g., Khaled Ramjaun at Imperium Resourcing) and sales directors (Nick Voller at Social Personnel). Revenue is generated through standard UK recruitment placement fees (transaction/percentage-of-salary model) rather than disclosed subscription or SaaS pricing, and no pricing is published. Physical distribution is via four UK hubs in London (HQ at NMB House, 17 Bevis Marks), Leeds, Manchester and Ipswich, giving nationwide localised coverage of public sector clients.

The company relies on a traditional consultant-led, relationship-driven service model rather than a proprietary technology platform. Core technology is not explicitly disclosed, there is no app, no public API/SDK, and AI/ML capabilities are not evidenced. Competitive positioning rests on multi-vertical brand specialisation, regulatory vetting processes, regional hubs and externally validated growth recognition (Recruiter Magazine Fast 50, 2022). No funding rounds, institutional investors, M&A activity or revenue figures are disclosed in the source material.
