Wake up to Quanta, little Suzie. We’re far more than a recruitment agency.

Since 1992, Quanta has been setting new standards of innovation and service in the recruitment industry.

Quanta was originally established to provide recruitment and resourcing services to organisations which were using new technologies such as open systems. However, since Quanta’s core competences are recruitment and resourcing, we quickly expanded our activities beyond just technology recruitment, providing a wider range of recruitment and resourcing services to support an increasingly non-technical need.

Steady growth and success in both the UK and mainland Europe

Driven by our success in providing recruitment and resourcing services in finance and investment banking, we were able to expand the geographic scope of our operations. Having established solid foundations in the London jobs and contracting market, we were able to expand the scope of our operations to successfully service many key financial centres in Europe, including Amsterdam, Rome, Stockholm and Zurich. A company with wide horizons, Quanta was then able to extend the range of its operations to encompass more of Europe, Asia, South Africa and Australasia.

Going beyond recruitment

Our experience led us to realise that not every resourcing issue is best solved by simply recruiting more people (quite a sea change for a company with a recruitment background) and in 2000 we established a set of consulting services which looked at resourcing issues in a radically new and innovative way.
This approach enabled us to thoroughly assess resourcing issues in an unbiased way, and, where relevant, recommend a range of services that properly addressed the underlying business need without simply ‘throwing bodies at it’. These services include:

• change management.
• forward load analysis.
• master resource scheduling.
• knowledge transfer programmes.

Experience in specific industries

While we have developed extensive recruitment experience in specific industries, such as information technology, pharmaceutical/bio-pharmaceutical and engineering, our recruitment and resourcing skills, combined with a consultative approach that’s backed with a range of effective services, enable us to add value quickly in almost any industry.

A culture of effective team working

As a company, we have a vibrant and energised approach to what we do. Although we’re not a family company, our clients often tell us that Quanta enjoys many of the positive attributes associated with being a family-run firm.

We’re a ‘seven habits’ company, ascribing much of our success to working within the guidelines laid down by Stephen Covey. As such, we’re proactive, results-focused, believe that a win/win is always the best solution, listen hard and work well with our clients and partners.

A meritocracy by choice, we’re proud that talented and committed people can significantly advance their careers while remaining with Quanta – for example, we have directors who began their careers as practitioners and have progressed on merit.

Focused on being the best, not the biggest

With a team of around thirty people, we’re big enough to handle almost any resourcing or recruitment project, but small enough to remain focused. We have no aspirations to become the biggest company in our industry, but are passionate about being the best.

Quanta is a member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and abides by its code of conduct.
