Commercial Recruitment
Tired of CVs that look right on paper but turn out to be wrong for your business?
You do not need more CVs. You need the right person.
At Able Personnel, we do not simply match keywords on a CV to a job description. We take the time to understand your business, your vacancy and the person you actually need. Then we go and find them.

Our Approach
We Do Not Just Send CVs. We Recruit.
There is a difference.
Before a candidate reaches your inbox, we want to know more than whether their CV matches your job description.
- Why are they looking?
- What are they really looking for?
- Will they fit your business?
- Are the salary and expectations aligned?
- Are they genuinely interested in your opportunity?
Because your time is too valuable to waste interviewing the wrong people.
Candidates personally screened before recommendation.
A shortlist you can act on
Why It Matters
Why Does Our Approach Matter?
Because the wrong hire costs more than a recruitment fee.
- It costs time.
- It disrupts your team.
- It affects productivity.
- Then you have to recruit all over again.
We would rather take more care at the beginning to give the placement a better chance of working for everyone.

Our Story
I started my career in recruitment over 35 years ago in an administration role and worked my way up through the industry to Team Leader and then Recruitment Manager.
After 15 years gaining hands on experience at different levels of recruitment, I founded Able Personnel in 2004.
Working my way through recruitment from the ground up taught me something that has stayed with me throughout my career. Excellent recruitment is about understanding the person behind the CV and the business behind the vacancy.
That principle continues to shape how our team works at Able Personnel.
We take the time to understand the employer, the vacancy and what will make someone successful within that particular business. We personally screen the candidates we represent and focus on genuine suitability and long term fit rather than simply sending volumes of CVs.
Our approach runs throughout our commercial recruitment services, supporting employers across Office & Administration, Customer Service, Sales & Business Development, Finance & Accounts, Marketing, Buying & Procurement, Legal Support, HR & People, and Management & Leadership.
Whether we are recruiting an entry level position, an experienced professional or a senior management appointment, our approach remains the same.
Understand the business. Understand the vacancy. Understand the candidate. Then bring the right people together.
