Why Stopgap.

What makes Stopgap great and different, is how and why we do 
what we do.

We’re a people-first marketing, digital, creative and research recruitment agency based in Richmond, London. Since 1993, we’ve connected brilliant talent with ambitious brands and agencies across permanent, contract and freelance roles.

Challenging the recruitment industry’s reputation for bad practice and poor service, we exist to make recruitment better for everyone - helping clients hire with confidence and candidates build rewarding careers. 

We do recruitment properly - with expertise (highly experienced, sector specific consultants), integrity and genuine care for people on both sides of the process.

For clients, that means honest advice, deep marketing knowledge, and partners who are invested in your success, not just filling a role. We work collaboratively, communicate transparently, and focus on outcomes that last.

For candidates, that means you'll have an experienced, trusted adviser at every step of the recruitment experience. We'll listen, really get to know you and offer meaningful insight to help you navigate the journey.
