About Brooks & Brooks
Fifteen years of excellence in recruitment and background verification
Founded in 2010, Brooks & Brooks has grown from a specialist UK recruitment consultancy to a transatlantic leader in talent acquisition and pre-employment screening services.
Our Story
Brooks & Brooks was established with a clear mission: to provide organizations with recruitment services that don't compromise on candidate quality or compliance standards. What began as a boutique executive search firm in London has evolved into a comprehensive recruitment and background screening consultancy serving clients across the United Kingdom and United States.
Our expansion into background verification was a natural progression, driven by client demand for integrated solutions that ensure hiring excellence from initial candidate identification through to thorough pre-employment vetting. Today, we're proud to offer a complete suite of services that streamline the entire hiring process while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, compliance, and confidentiality.
Our Approach
We believe that successful recruitment goes beyond matching skills to job descriptions. Our consultative approach considers organizational culture, long-term strategic objectives, and the unique dynamics of each market we serve. Every placement reflects our commitment to sustainable hiring decisions that benefit both employers and candidates.
In background screening, we apply the same rigorous standards. Our verification processes are comprehensive yet respectful, thorough yet efficient, always balancing regulatory compliance with candidate experience. We understand that every check we perform represents not just due diligence, but also your organization's reputation and values.
Transatlantic Excellence
Operating from our London and New York offices, we bridge the Atlantic to provide seamless recruitment and screening services for organizations with operations in both markets. Our teams understand the regulatory frameworks, cultural nuances, and market conditions that impact hiring decisions on both sides of the ocean.
This dual-market presence means we can support international expansion, facilitate transatlantic transfers, and ensure consistent hiring standards across your UK and US operations—all while maintaining full compliance with local employment laws and data protection regulations.
