The three people who founded Smart Group Recruitment Solutions still work within the business today.

The success and exceptional growth Smart has enjoyed since 1999 can be attributed to each of the partners taking on specific remits within the business. In practice this means a sharing of Key responsibilities between the three Directors and specifically the achievement of more time dedicated to providing quality services than perhaps could be realised by a single owner manager.

Helen Stacey

Helen started her career in recruitment with a national agency in 1988, providing many companies in Dorset with temporary industrial and commercial staff - many of who still use Smart Recruitment today. Helens role with Smart has recently changed and she has now become the official "face of Smart". Her primary role is PR, networking and undertaking service reviews with Smart's top customers. This enables a "multi - tiered" relationship with customers meaning that partnerships are more strategic and pro-active than ever before.' She is well respected amongst the local business community for her enthusiasm for life, professionalism and knowledge of all things recruitment related.
