Our latest recruitment investment joint venture, Elite Talent Services officially launched on 1st November 2023 – as a professional permanent and contract recruitment specialist business headquartered in central Norwich.

The business will focus primarily on the IT, Engineering, and Professional Services sectors, and predominantly within the South East of England – but will be opportunistic when it comes to building their business and will support selected clients in other sectors, as required.

Elite Talent Services MD and founder, James Wardell commented on the launch,

“Having developed an expansive recruitment career working for other companies, I wanted to take this opportunity to create my own business. The support and investment I’ve received from Bluestones has helped make that dream a reality.

We’re  now actively signing up and working with new clients and candidates, with the early signs very promising. We’ve got a small team to start with, but big plans to scale quickly.”

From the initial investment enquiry in mid-September, we completed the full business launch within just six weeks – demonstrating our proven investment model, streamlined systems and workflows, and our ability to get new recruitment businesses up and running quickly.

Matt Cody, Investment Director at Bluestones commented,

“As a new business within the Group’s investment division, this is part of our growth strategy to continue building our pipeline of recruitment businesses that can scale at pace and, over time, join our core recruitment portfolio, expanding our offering across a wider range of sectors and geographies.”

Recruitment Funding Solutions (RFS), the specialist recruitment funding provider within the Group’s portfolio of recruitment and staffing service companies, has launched a completely overhauled website, incorporating a range of design and functional changes that coincides with the addition of an all-new funding product too.

Recruitment Funding Solutions provides specialist recruitment funding support to recruitment agencies of all sizes and all stages of maturity, predominantly throughout the UK. Along with its well-established and extremely popular protected funding solution (RFS Protect), the business now offers RFS Evolve for typically larger and more well-established recruitment agencies that are ready and able to take on more of risk and debt management themselves. Both funding products are exceptionally easy to access, supported by recruitment specialists, and competitively priced in the marketplace.

RFS Protect

RFS Protect is our protected funding solution. It’s perfect for all agencies, but especially attractive for developing, early-stage and start-up agencies.

It’s important to remember that what Recruitment Funding Solutions does is different to the investment proposition from its parent company, Bluestones Group. At Bluestones, the investment approach is typically geared towards more fast-paced scaling and growth within the Group’s portfolio of businesses.
