Recruitment
Hire Top Talent for your UK Business Without the Admin
Hiring the right people can make or break your growth, but managing recruitment in-house often leads to wasted time, rising costs, and candidates who aren't the right fit.
At Altum HR, we act as an extension of your business, helping you access skilled UK and international talent while reducing the administrative burden of recruitment.
We're more than a recruitment provider. As an experienced HR consultancy, we combine recruitment expertise with employment law, onboarding, payroll, and workforce support to help businesses build high-performing teams with confidence.

Why Choose Altum HR for Recruitment Services?
We start by understanding your hiring needs in detail before sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates who align with your business objectives.

Once you've selected your preferred candidate, we can support employment, payroll, and HR administration through our Employer of Record (EOR) solution if required, ensuring a compliant and seamless hiring experience from start to finish.
Whether you're hiring locally or internationally, our recruitment and HR expertise helps reduce hiring risks, improve efficiency, and deliver better long-term recruitment outcomes.

Benefits of Hiring South African Talent
International recruitment gives businesses access to a wider pool of skilled professionals, often at a lower cost than hiring within the UK, without compromising on quality.
South Africa offers a highly educated, English-speaking workforce with strong cultural alignment, excellent communication skills, and convenient overlap with UK working hours. This makes collaboration straightforward while helping businesses improve capacity, access specialist skills, and manage employment costs more effectively.
Our International Recruitment Process
We tailor our recruitment service to your specific requirements, whether you need end-to-end recruitment support, assistance with hard-to-fill vacancies, or an extension of your internal hiring team.
We manage job advertising, candidate sourcing, screening, interviews, compliance checks, and offer negotiations, while integrating seamlessly with our wider HR consultancy services whenever required.
