Bluerock Employment Group

What Bluerock Employment Group does

Bluerock Employment Group is a UK B2B recruitment agency founded circa 2013 that supplies temporary and permanent staffing to employers across six sector verticals: healthcare (the primary segment), construction, IT and digital, finance and accountancy, hospitality and leisure, and executive administration. The firm operates from two offices — Leeds as headquarters and Exeter — and claims nationwide UK coverage. Service delivery is built around dedicated in-house recruitment consultants who are assigned as account managers to each client, supported by a self-serve candidate portal that functions as a secondary inbound channel.

The company's core products are Temporary Staffing, comprising the supply of pre-screened short-term workers billed at a margin over payroll, and Permanent Staffing, comprising fee-based candidate placements. The underlying technology is a CRM-based recruitment platform that underwrites a 24-hour candidate response guarantee and an in-house compliance verification process covering right-to-work, references and sector-specific credentials. The brand portfolio extends across multiple trade names including Bluerock Employment Group, Bluerock Group, Bluerock Recruitment and Bluerock Healthcare.

The business model is transaction-fee based: revenue is generated from permanent placement fees and from margins on temporary worker billings, with pricing quoted per assignment rather than published as tiered rate cards. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B targeting UK enterprises and mid-market firms requiring staffing solutions. Bluerock is privately held with no disclosed parent company, venture capital or private equity investment, no disclosed headcount, no funding rounds, and no acquisitions.
