In the same way that we pride ourselves on finding the perfect career moves for the candidates that we represent, we take great care to make sure that becoming part of the McCarthy team is guaranteed to give you everything you are looking for within your next role...and be a long term decision!

Kate McCarthy recognises that the only way a team can produce outstanding results on every occasion, is to ensure that they have a great working environment, realistic rewards, additional benefits that make a difference to an employee and a culture that everybody is passionate about preserving.

McCarthy Retail, for example, has been recognized at the recent National Recruiter Awards, scooping ‘Best Retail Recruitment Firm’ and ‘Best Newcomer’.  The NORA Award  for 'Best Small Recruitment Website 2008' is another exciting triumph for the McCarthy Group. Working together to achieve results is at the core of everything we stand for, so each and every member of the McCarthy Group was extremely proud to receive these accolades – and it’s spurred us on to achieve even more!

A career in recruitment can be extremely challenging and yet rewarding beyond belief - it may well be a target-orientated environment, but you also have the opportunity to make a real difference; not only to the lives and careers of candidates but also to the success of your clients business.

Here at McCarthy, we feel that we have some totally unique elements to our rewards package and the working environment that we provide.

The Cash.

We provide a totally realistic OTE package. Plenty of recruitment firms will talk about high earning potential. Here at McCarthy, we don't just talk about it, we earn it!! Here is what one of our consultants has to say;

"When I came out of retail management, I never dreamed that I would triple my salary. I met several recruitment companies, and within about 10 minutes of meeting Kate and the team it was clear to that it was going to be the right career for me. This year I will earn £70,000, and the reason why I will is all down to the McCarthy difference - I've had great training and development and I work with a fantastic team of people. I've been given all the tools and encouragement I could possibly need to achieve my dream salary - in fact all I've had to provide is the tenacity to get there myself!"

The Culture.

The key to a winning team is one that works hard and can celebrate their success together as well. McCarthy focus on having some key yearly events for every member of their team, as well as Business Focus Days where each and every employee has the opportunity to make a difference to the strategy and direction of the business.

Annual Company teambuild:  once a year we take 4 days out of the business and stay at a top secret 5 star location, where the team get the chance to review their performance, discuss future strategy and spend some time relaxing with each other, as well as getting involved in team tasks. In the past this has included a Murder Mystery, an Apprentice task afternoon, a Cocktail Masterclass, and Spanish and Italian themed dinners

Team events:  several times throughout the year, the whole team will take a day out that is often part work, part play.  A business brainstorm meeting followed by Hummer Limo scavenger hunt was the most recent of these!

Christmas ball:  fully-funded for employees and partners in fantastic locations. The perfect opportunity to let off some seasonal steam!
