About us
We invest in great recruiters, recruitment companies and staffing service organisations. The Bluestones concept is as simple as that. We provide so much more than investment. From our support division offering payroll and a range of funding options, to our investment division creating new recruitment brands and scaling established companies, or our balanced portfolio of recruitment & staffing service companies; the Bluestones Group is focused on all things recruitment. When our partner companies join the Bluestones Group they instantly gain access to an expanded network of support services, including HR, Finance, Marketing and IT functions – as well as the purchasing power of a larger organisation and an expanded network of recruitment specialists and subject matter experts. Our vision We create opportunities and wealth for our people as we invest in, grow and support our balanced portfolio of recruitment and staffing service businesses, and continue our journey to becoming a £1bn revenue business. Our divisions We have three core divisions: Recruitment, Investment and Support. Our sectors Within our Recruitment Division we have five core sectors within which our portfolio of brands exist. This balanced approach ensures we have a breadth of coverage across a diverse range of industry sectors, whilst nurturing a depth of talent within each of the divisional sectors. Our brands We have invested in and supported a broad and balanced portfolio of brands that predominantly operate within the recruitment and staffing sector. This approach ensures a balanced risk approach through any sector or market-specific uncertainty and provides a degree of downside resiliency. Perhaps more importantly however, it allows the Group to capitalise on multiple opportunities simultaneously across the divisional sectors in which we operate. If you're interested in launching your own agency, accessing 100% up-front funding & support - talk to us today to see how we can help.
