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.
Some of the companies we work with
Case studies
-
As a trusted recruitment partner, ADLIB worked closely with us to successfully hire a VOD Content and Channel Manager. We appreciated ADLIB taking the time to meet with the role holder to help source candidates - with the right transferable skills, and to fully understand the role requirements for this maternity cover position.
-
ADLIB collaborated closely with us, refining the process through an iterative approach, and helped us find six exceptional candidates for our growing tech team.
-
We provided salary bandings plus information about motivations for moving and skills that are in demand, leading to the placement of 3 Cloud Data Engineers including a lead after approving salaries and agency budget.
-
It’s been like night and day working with ADLIB. Really impressed with how great the candidates have been, and how the team have been so responsive and totally on the ball. What a bunch of great people!
-
“ADLIB used their digital marketing expertise and network to source an amazing candidate quickly. This was such a smooth process down to ADLIB's knowledge and proactive nature.”
-
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.
-
Once the data environment was configured, the 3 Engineers shared responsibility for CI/CD and deployment, gaining valuable MLOps skills that they had not used in production before.
-
“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.”
-
ADLIB have really gotten to know us over the years, truly understanding our business, mission and values. They’re our trusted partner and go to for hiring insight. Not only are they perfectly aligned with our B Corp values and understand how to run an inclusive process, but their track record is second to none. We knew we could trust them to find the very best candidates and to ensure the candidates in process had an excellent experience. It was especially helpful to receive their guidance when shaping the job description and title for the role. Forget using Exec Search firms, ADLIB is the one!

"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."
We are B Corp certified
What does B Corp mean to us?
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.
So much more than a recruitment company:
We’re committed to creating working environments that are inclusive, empowering and respectful. We invest time and resources into civic engagement activities.
We believe in stakeholder capitalism.
Diversity and Inclusivity
We believe changes need to be made to the way businesses attract, recruit and retain diverse talent. Recruiting a diverse and inclusive team is proven to bring multiple benefits, from increasing candidate attraction and brand perception, bridging skill gaps, increasing staff retention and driving better business performance.
