Partnering With Us

Recruitment that’s thorough, personal, and built around your business.

Hiring the right people shapes everything - culture, performance, retention, and long-term success. At Inc. Consulting, we work with organisations across Sheffield and beyond, to deliver recruitment that is clear, honest, and genuinely consultative.

We’re a small team with over 50 years’ combined experience recruiting primarily across Yorkshire and the Midlands - meaning you get deep market knowledge, strong networks, and a consistent service from people who know the region inside-out.

We partner with growing SMEs, charities, PLCs, family-run businesses and PE-backed organisations, supporting them with leadership, specialist, and multi-discipline recruitment across their whole business. We take the time to ask the right questions, understand your business, represent your brand with care, and support you from scoping through to onboarding. Because the best outcomes happen when we truly understand your world - your challenges, your culture, and your goals.

 

 
Straightforward Communication

We keep the process clear and honest. You get transparent timelines, realistic expectations, and proactive updates throughout. If something isn’t viable, we say so early - ensuring you always have a clear view of progress.

 
A Search Process That Goes Beyond the Obvious

We don’t rely solely on active applicants. Our approach taps into the passive market through carefully curated outreach, targeted headhunting, and deep market research. Every candidate we present is engaged, assessed, and aligned - not just available.

 
Expertise Across Yorkshire & the Midlands

With more than 50 years’ combined recruitment experience across the region, we understand the local talent landscape - its challenges, opportunities, and nuances. This knowledge helps us advise you effectively and present candidates who fit both the role and your business.

Committed to Inclusive Hiring

As APSCo-accredited recruiters and members of the Opening Doors Inclusive Recruitment Campaign, we embed inclusive practices throughout every stage of our process. Our job adverts, website accessibility features, shortlisting methods, and assessment approach are designed to be fair, accessible, and free from unnecessary barriers.

One Collaborative Team

You’ll work closely with one consultant, while benefiting from the insight and experience of the full team - with over 50 years of combined expertise supporting every search. We work collaboratively, sharing insight, and networks to make sure you benefit from the collective experience of the entire Inc. Consulting team.

Connected to the Local Business Community

We’re active members of Sheffield’s business community - from steering groups to local networks to regional events. This involvement keeps us close to the issues that matter across the South Yorkshire region and helps us stay aligned with the needs of the organisations we support.

 

Our Expertise.

We offer joined-up recruitment support across:

Whether it’s a single hire or a multi-role campaign, you get a consistent approach rooted in quality, communication, and long-term alignment.

From the Classroom to Kelham: Seb’s Week at Inc Consulting

What happens when you take a 15-year-old out of the classroom and put them into a recruitment consultancy for a week? We decided to find out. Seb joined us at Inc Consulting for a week of work experience, getting the chance to see recruitment from the inside, sit in on candidate interviews and client meetings, meet senior finance leaders, learn about different careers and even turn the tables on our team by interviewing them for our Inc Insights articles. We asked him what he thought of it all – and, importantly, whether his view of the world of work had changed.

Employment Law is Changing. Is Your Business Ready?

It's fair to say employment law has been one of the hottest topics this year. Whilst the Employment Rights Act 2025 brings changes across a number of areas, one of the biggest changes still to come is the overhaul of ordinary unfair dismissal, due to take effect from 1 January 2027. With the qualifying period changing, tribunal claim windows expanding and the compensation cap being removed, we're speaking to more and more clients who are asking the same question: "What should we be doing now?"
