What’s our story

We're a supportive, down-to-earth and ambitious team. Whether we’re working together in person or remotely, connection comes naturally — because we genuinely care about the work and the people around us. Whether a consultant or part of our Operations team, you'll be pivotal in helping shape the future of recruitment.

Stopgap was built to challenge impersonal recruitment. After seeing too many candidates left in the dark and poor relationship building with clients, our founder Claire set out to create something better - an agency grounded in integrity, expertise and care.

30+ years later, we’re proud to be a trusted partner for brands and agencies who seek informed advice and quality talent. Our growth has never meant losing what makes us different: honesty, warmth and the confidence to challenge when something doesn’t feel right.

Our mission

Our mission is simple: to humanise recruitment.

Everything we do is guided by our values. We challenge when needed. We advise honestly. We celebrate achievements.
