Based in Pride Park, Derby | Built for People Who Want More From Their Work
If you’re good at building relationships, influencing decisions, and creating commercial value, there’s a strong chance you’d be highly successful in recruitment.
At Ford & Stanley Talent Services, we hire people from outside recruitment who are already performing in commercial roles and give them a platform to apply those skills at a higher level.
Work That Has Real Impact: In many roles, you’re selling a product or managing an account. Here, you’re solving business-critical problems, helping organisations build the teams they need to perform, grow, and succeed.
That means:

It’s more than sales it’s commercial problem-solving.

Reward That Reflects Contribution: Your performance is visible and rewarded. Our proposition includes:
- Competitive earnings with strong upside
- Recognition for impact, not just activity
- Autonomy to build your own relationships and market
- Progression tied to capability and contribution
You’re rewarded for what you build, not just what you do.
