Caselton Clark is an executive search recruitment solutions provider founded in 2007. Specialising in the FMCG, Media and Events and Intellectual Property sectors, Caselton Clark supports businesses of all sizes with senior recruitment requirements, staffing strategies and solutions. Established by two brothers, Mike and Tim South, Caselton Clark was founded due to its co-founders' frustrations and experiences as hiring managers. Finding a recruitment provider that truly understood their requirements and could deliver suitably qualified and experienced talent was impossible. Mike and Tim found that they ended up recruiting most of their roles directly themselves. When asked how they had managed it by external colleagues, the concept of Caselton Clark was born. The experiences that frustrated Mike and Tim back then are the forces that still drive them today. Building a team of ex-industry professionals with experience in the FMCG, Media and Events and Intellectual Property sectors, Caselton Clark is a business that strives to provide quality and value for money. By applying their sector knowledge and understanding, the team at Caselton Clark provide an insightful and professional service with recruitment solutions founded on understanding, consultation and quality. At Caselton Clark, recruitment is far more than just sourcing a person for a role. Promoting your employer brand and employee value proposition is fundamental to everything we do. Our experience and expertise ensure that credibility and quality underpin every interaction. Our collaborative and augmented approach is geared toward helping you make smart and considered recruitment decisions that will contribute to the growth and profitability of your business.
