Our permanent, professional and office division has grown considerably over the last few years with companies throughout Staffordshire and Cheshire using our professional services. Building a reputation of matching high calibre candidates with some of the leading businesses across a multitude of industries requires a lot of hard work, dedication and skill, something we have an abundance of.
Investing in time and software has allowed us to operate a solid database of professional candidates seeking promotion or work life balance moves within a vast array of working sectors. Whether you are seeking a Finance Director, Management Accountant or a Credit Controller, our database is full of quality candidates who are looking for fixed term contracts or permanent positions.

Since expanding into this area of recruitment our attention to detail and careful selection process has proven successful when placing candidates into this regulated sector.

Just short of 30 years’ experience in the recruitment industry, Managing Director Jonathan puts customer service excellence at the heart of everything that Premier Placement does. Since founding the business in 1996, his ethos has always been to ‘place the right person for the job’ rather than just placing ‘anyone that happens to be available’. He firmly believes that this is the key to the success of the business. We are only as good as our last placement are the words that Jonathan believes sets the company apart from others. His approach to providing unrivalled customer service, support, supplying the most talented candidates for each position and developing on-going relationships with both candidates and clients remain the core values to the business.
