History

“I have rarely come across a business that has succeeded better in maintaining a culture of entrepreneurial business innovation through a period of rapid growth. Practicus in my opinion is certainly one to watch.” Alysoun Stewart, Head of Strategic Services Group, Grant Thornton

In March 2004, three recruiters decided that they'd had enough of the traditional recruitment model. Having worked for a large group for several years, they felt there was room in the market for a much more stimulating company - one that was based on quality, honesty and an exacting fit to customer requirements.

These three wanted to provide a service that was more akin to that of a sports or theatrical agent and chose interim project management as an area to begin such an enterprise.

In 5 years, Practicus has expanded from its initial members to 65 staff. Furthermore, the turnover has rocketed from a standing start to a turnover of £33.3 million in 2008. It has also expanded from project management into complementary disciplines connected with business change - specifically HR and Finance - both now substantial divisions within the company.

Growth like this doesn't happen unless there's something very persuasive about the company's proposition.

If you believe that recruitment can be different... If you appreciate the value of having interim professionals who can successfully drive change in your organisation... And if you want a quality-driven recruitment service with an honest and transparent relationship... Then this company was designed, built and delivered for you.
