OUR STORY
Starting as Inspired Selections; a specialist in optical recruitment, we are proud of our expansion into new sectors.
We are an INSPIRED group of committed recruitment professionals with ambitious plans. We are driven by our collective desire to deliver real, visible, tangible and continuous improvements in service and support levels to our clients, our candidates and our colleagues.
THE BEGINNING
Inspired Recruitment (called Inspired Selections at the time) was “born” back in 2003, in a little office at the back of my old house. We didn’t have all the fancy tools and lots of support staff we have today, and we couldn’t log onto an Ai app to do the work for us.
But what it did have, was a big heart and a real believe to make a difference. It was this determination that has led to us not only achieve our goal of becoming the very first, totally dedicated Optical Recruitment services provider in the UK but also the most successful.
In a world where image can often take precedence over actual results, our aim was to help as many people as possible find the right role for them. We didn’t want to just say we could fill vacancies we wanted to actually fill vacancies while still making sure that the right people were introduced to the right companies.

MAKING RECRUTIMENT
PERSONAL
Everyone today, tells you how they are number one, they are the largest, they are the best and yet when their database doesn’t have a match for you then you never hear from them again.
From day one we wanted to make recruitment personal, we wanted to care about ‘John’ or ‘Mary’ as a real person and not by their title or candidate number. We also wanted the ability to turn away clients if they didn’t match our core values or would not be the kind of employer that we would want to work with.
This approach has not only resulted in over 37,000 registered optical professionals, which is around 3 times more than any other agency in the optical sector. We are also very proud to have signed business terms (based on our core values) with just under 91% of the whole optical industry.
EXPANSION
However, not being satisfied with achieving our optical target we then used the same ethical approach to the helping the Pharmacy industry. This Inspired approach has now resulted in Inspired Recruitment becoming the market leader within the pharmacy recruitment sector.
Having now achieved our Inspired personal approach within the Optical and Pharmacy industry, we then focused our vison on the Audiology industry, where we are now proud to say our “make recruitment personal” mantra as now resulted in Inspired recruitment now being the first place to go for all Audiology roles.
Just as with the Optical and Pharmacy sectors we now represent around 90% of all employers within the Audiology industry. Again and again, we have proven that when you treat people with respect, understand them as a person, and do everything in your powers to support them you can make a real difference to people lives.
As you would expect Inspired is now in the process of bringing the ‘inspired personal promise’ to several other industries, where hopefully we can have the same impact on people lives as we are currently having.
Thank you, because to us it’s personal
