Stott and May

About the Company

In late 2009, Stott and May was founded on the belief that hiring managers should never have to make the choice between time to hire and quality of candidate. We noticed a gap in the market for a search offering that can combine the speed of contingent recruitment with a high value, high touch, insightful service more commonly found in the executive search space. A talent solution that's helpful, engaging, collaborative and stacked full of value-add. Built with the flexibility to provide our partners with a choice of best practice features that can be packaged to meet their unique hiring challenges.

We've been building our team alongside the technical teams of some of the worlds innovative businesses. Our 130 employees across London, Reading, Los Angeles and New York are cultivating specialist talent communities every day to deliver the connections to drive growth. It's time to build better, more personalised, recruitment campaigns that deliver talent on time.
