Celebrating the launch of Kick Recruitment

Ryan Austin, Helen Waudby and Janette (Jan) Hudson are delighted to announce the launch of Kick Recruitment, a new recruitment agency built on a passion for people, partnerships and making a genuine difference.

With a shared vision to transform the recruitment experience, the team has come together with a mission to create connections that last – partnering outstanding talent with fantastic organisations that are looking to grow, evolve and make an impact.

At Kick Recruitment, we believe recruitment should be about more than simply matching a CV to a job description. It's about understanding people, understanding businesses and creating relationships that lead to long-term success.

Drawing on extensive experience across marketing, sales, finance, administration and more, our team brings a wealth of knowledge and a people-first approach to every conversation. We are passionate about helping candidates discover opportunities where they can thrive, not just finding them their next role, but helping them build a career they are proud of.

Through our candidate community, we provide ongoing support, including career advice, interview guidance and personalised support throughout every stage of the job search. We want candidates to feel valued, understood and confident as they take their next career step – helping them start loving Mondays again.

For our clients, we take the time to truly understand what makes their organisation unique. We look beyond the skills and experience required for a role and consider the bigger picture, including company culture, values, ambitions, working environment and long-term goals.

By getting to know both our candidates and clients on a personal level, we can create meaningful connections based on more than just experience. We consider career aspirations, personality, communication style, values and future potential, alongside the needs and vision of the organisation. This approach allows us to introduce candidates who won't just fill a vacancy, but who will become a valuable part of the team and contribute to the company's success.

Our aim is simple: to build lasting partnerships that benefit everyone involved. Whether you are a business looking for exceptional talent or a candidate searching for your next opportunity, we are here to provide a recruitment experience built around trust, support and genuine relationships.

We are incredibly excited to begin this journey and look forward to supporting organisations with their recruitment needs while helping talented people find roles where they can make a real difference.

Helping people is what we love, and we genuinely get a kick out of connecting the right talent with the right opportunities – which is exactly where the name Kick Recruitment comes from.
