Why Shift Recruit

We know this world.

Our background is in automotive. We understand the environment, the pressures, and what it takes to perform in a sales role here.

Shift Recruit was founded by someone who spent years working directly with UK automotive businesses — we understand the market from the inside, not from a job spec.

We speak the language

We come from inside the automotive industry. We're not reading from a brief — we understand what dealers, marketplaces, and finance businesses actually need from a salesperson.

No placement, no fee

Our incentives are aligned with yours. We only earn when you make a hire you're happy with. No retainers, no upfront costs, no risk.

Quality over volume

We don't pad shortlists. Every candidate we put in front of you is someone we've spoken to and believe can do the job.

Rebate protection

If a placement doesn't work out in the first 8 weeks, we'll refund part or all of the fee depending on when they leave. Full details provided before any engagement starts.
