Regional Recruitment Services

What Regional Recruitment Services does

Regional Recruitment Services Ltd is an independent UK recruitment agency founded in 2008 and headquartered in Leicester, operating as part of the wider KAD Financial Investments group. The company delivers permanent, temporary, and contract recruitment services across eight industry sectors organised around five primary verticals: Professional Services, Construction, Industrial & Logistics, Engineering, and Tech/IT. Service delivery is sales-led, executed by approximately twenty sector-specialist recruiters who engage directly with UK employers on a consultative basis, supported by a self-serve Job Search Platform for candidates and a branded podcast ('Chats with RRS') for top-of-funnel content marketing.

The underlying technology is conventional recruitment infrastructure (ATS-style database systems, online job board, candidate registration portal) with no proprietary platform or AI capabilities disclosed. Revenue is generated through transaction-based placement fees charged to employers upon successful permanent placement, with no upfront cost and no publicly disclosed fee schedule; temporary and contract services operate on a parallel fee model. The company does not provide revenue figures but reports record-breaking revenue in 2025, and completed a brand refresh in March 2026 under a 'Right Fit. Real Impact.' positioning. Leadership comprises Director Zaka Ullah (FCCA, FMAAT, ACIB), Operations Manager David Darragh, and HR Manager Khateeja Ali (Assoc CIPD), with the company operating under UK data-protection compliance (ICO registration ZA789826) and a full suite of corporate social responsibility policies.
