Our core business model is to find the right people for the right job. However, to achieve this, our success is driven from a deep understanding of what it will take to get there in the first place.
From benchmarking and salary surveys, providing market advice and guidance within candidate short sectors, creating effective engagement and onboarding models to interviewing techniques and process management we’re often in from the beginning, helping them to shape, plan and guide.
We’re immersed in the communities that surround us, often called on to share our knowledge, opinion and guidance. This has led to being embraced as industry partners by the likes of TechSPARK, Bristol Media, Business Marketing Club and Invest Bristol and Bath.
Acting as an extension of the LabGenius team, we ensured that candidates met both the cultural and technical requirements to succeed. We successfully placed a range of talent, for niche Protein Characterisation, Protein Production, High-throughput screening, Cell Biologists to Assistant Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technicians and People Managers, as well as IT and Software Engineers, Engineering Managers and Delivery Managers.
It is incredibly rare to find a recruiter who instantly understands the company-wide needs and culture, Biohm's unique philosophy and approach, and the radical first-of-their-kind biotechnologies that we develop. We were very privileged to find Zoe, who has single-handedly, with her expansive network, had a transformational impact on our team and company by recruiting unique, perfectly aligned, highly sought after, and difficult to find niche talent. It is an absolute joy to have worked with Zoe on the big recruitment push we experienced this year and look forward to many more in the future.
ADLIB helped Malvern Panalytical locate top-tier candidates from graduate to senior level with skills in full-stack software development and quality assurance. The result is a dynamic and diverse Research and Development team that Malvern Panalytical are proud of.
Scala and Kafka were initial sticking points for the manager, so we pressed for suitable alternatives to increase the flexibility. They agreed to consider candidates with different streaming experience and programming backgrounds which opened a larger pool. We placed 3 highly technical hires.
“ADLIB took the time to understand our unusually ‘human’ company culture, as well as the skills, experience and location requirements of the roles. We worked with 2 recruiters, from different teams within ADLIB, and care was taken to find an extremely good fit in each case. Both new starters settled in seamlessly and very quickly became valued members in their respective teams. I’m genuinely looking forward to working with ADLIB again.”
Using a combination of contingency and search-based recruitment, combined with our niche experience within the microbiome and genome engineering space, we helped them secure highly skilled Scientists and Laboratory talent for their "Science Creates" site in Bristol, from a Senior Scientist, QC Scientist, Senior Research Scientist, to multiple Support Scientists and a Fermentation Scientist requirement.
"Sam has helped us recruit UX Designers, Service Designers and Accessibility experts for the last 18 months. During this time, I have come to understand that Sam has exemplary knowledge of UX disciplines, knows many candidates on a personal level, and only ever refers highly-skilled top-tier humans. What sets Sam apart from others in the field is the time and energy he puts into understanding the current (and envisioned) culture of the team he is recruiting for. This dedication allows him to spot people who will support your culture and not (negatively) disrupt it."
Working with ADLIB has been an absolute pleasure. They are professional, transparent and clear. They listened to our preferences and passion for diversity and truly delivered. We are proud to work with them.
The Head of Data Engineering needed this team built fast, so we agreed to keep open lines of communication and for 24-hour CV turnaround and suggested streamlining the process as much as possible due to the nature of such a competitive talent market.
“From finding me my current role to helping place two fantastic hires, ADLIB has been a pivotal role in the development of our team here at Bristol. The guys are easy to work with, friendly and most importantly inspire trust. I look forward to working with them in the future.”
In 2019, ADLIB joined a growing global community of B Corps. From the outset, this was our starting point to evolve, a framework that would sharpen our focus and hold us accountable to building a business that truly balanced profit and purpose. In 2020 ADLIB became the world’s first 100% employee-owned B Corp recruitment business globally. In 2023 we received a recertification score of 130.3. An immensely proud moment in ADLIB history.
