Worked with Adkins & Cheurfi Recruitment for over 6 years! I have a great relationship with the team, can’t recommend them enough. Started using them as a second supplier and now is our preferred supplier for all temp staff.

Head of Events
Permanent Commercial Staffing Service in Darlington
Recruitment Handled from Brief to Offer
We take the full recruitment process off your hands. Our consultants write the advert, work our database, headhunt quietly where a position calls for discretion, screen every CV, check references and arrange interviews around your diary. You meet a short list of serious candidates instead of reading a stack of applications.
Our permanent recruitment service is designed for businesses looking to make a long-term addition to their team. From administration and sales to finance, HR and management positions, we focus on finding candidates whose experience and personality fit the role.
What Does It Cost to Hire with Us?
Our fees are clear from the first conversation and cover every part of our permanent recruitment services, from advertising through to candidate selection. We only invoice once you have made a hire, so there is nothing to lose by starting a search with us. If you would like to discuss numbers for a specific vacancy in Darlington, one call is usually all it takes.
The Guarantee Behind Every Permanent Placement
Each permanent placement comes with a 90 to 120 day money-back guarantee. We stay close during the probation period and step in early if anything needs resolving. Lasting relationships with Darlington businesses matter more to us than a single fee, which is why honest communication sits behind every stage of our recruitment work.
