The Signature Team
At Signature, our company's success relies on the results of our team members, so we do everything we can to help you achieve your goals. One of the foundations of our approach to recruitment is that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and we have the same ethos for our people.
Whether it’s leading teams, growing your own market, or achieving financial security, we’re experts in recognising, nurturing, and developing talent, so while you’re changing the lives of our candidates and clients, we provide the opportunity to change yours as well.
Our Culture
Fast-pacedRecruitment is traditionally a fast-moving industry due to the needs of clients; however, our 'less haste, more speed' philosophy balances agility with a structured approach, providing a superior service for our clients, alongside greater control for our team. This enables our team members to experience the excitement of a fast-paced environment without the associated stress. | CollaborativeDue to our ultra-tight specialism, we can utilise our collective knowledge and network to gain a significant advantage over other recruiters who are dabbling within our field of expertise. This makes it imperative that our teams work closely together to leverage our collective strength. This is why we are such a close-knit team that feeds off each other's success. |
SupportiveThe success of Signature is reliant upon the performance of each individual team member. The majority of people join us with no recruitment experience, which mitigates bad habits that are rife in the recruitment industry. It is therefore imperative that we provide the learning and development to drive performance in a timely manner, which is why we have developed a supportive culture. | RewardingWith an uncapped commission structure based on service as well as results, a career at Signature Career Management provides an opportunity to be rewarded for doing work the right way. Consultants see their ‘desk’ as an opportunity to take real ownership of their success and, alongside the support of the wider team, can build their own business within Signature. |
Apprenticeships
One of the fundamental aims of Signature Career Management is to reverse many of the shortcomings that traditional recruitment methodologies have created. Rather than adding to these problems by hiring within the industry, Signature has adopted a long-term strategy that recognises the attitudinal characteristics of potential recruitment consultants, then trains them up to the standards of the co-founder and recruitment expert, Emilie Gregson.
With a commitment to our local economy, it seemed like a natural progression to provide opportunity by developing talent within the surrounding areas through recognised apprenticeship schemes.
Whether through a dedicated recruitment apprenticeship or a qualification that provides a complementary role, there are always opportunities for people with the right characteristics to carve out a career at Signature Career Management.
What It's Like To Work For Us
Inside Voices: Testimonials From Our People

Well, well, well, where to start with Emilie? She has been the driving force behind my personal success and development at Signature. Her work ethic and determination have been the catalyst for the great recruitment consultancy that she’s built to support FMCG businesses. She’s been able to instil each team member at Signature with the same impeccable standards, reinforced by her ‘feedback-over-fees’ reward system which guarantees consistency and quality throughout every recruitment process, which has set the standards that I now live by. The main thing I like about Emilie is that she has the innate ability to recognise potential in people. No matter how long the development journey takes, she continuously invests time and effort to ensure that everyone is provided with the opportunity to succeed. She helps people to become a better version of themselves, something that I know all too well! In terms of myself I wasn’t the most structured or detailed individual when joining Signature. My day-to-day wasn’t planned, I was starting each day without purpose and relied on pace and determination to get results. Emilie managed to channel my efforts and refine my approach, so that I could turn my weaknesses into strengths and really raise my game. Testament to this is that with the feedback, training and development Emilie provided, I was able to return her investment by delivering Signatures highest revenue results last year. If you’re genuinely thinking about joining Signature, I couldn’t recommend the opportunity to work with Emilie and the wider group more highly. This is a business who don’t just talk the talk, their values and purpose set them apart from the vast majority of the recruitment industry. The old school style agencies that hammer pointless KPI’s, offer zero training and have unrealistic expectations, are light years away from Signature which this is evidenced by how highly they are thought of amongst their peers. You’re amazing Emilie. You’ve been a key part of my personal and professional development, so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything!

I have worked directly under Emilie for 14 months. Wow where do I start.. Emilie is somebody who leads by example showing everybody every single day the importance of consistent hard work. However her ridiculous hours never phased her bubbly and positive personality. She would always share her knowledge, always have time to support with anything work related or be there to listen and provide advice for personal issues. Emilie builds a genuine relationship with her employees and offers what feels like a friendship when your working at Signature Career Management. By far the most humble, hardworking person I have met. She’s also got a bit of banter as well! Signature Career Management as a business actually shocked me by how good they were. If you are on the upward curve of your career and you’re looking to get involved in recruitment, please consider this business or just have a chat with these guys and you’ll understand what they’re about. Thanks for everything Emilie, you’ve helped me grow as a person and I’ll always be grateful for your hard work.

In short, Emilie is just an absolute champion! If you want an example of someone who commits 110% every single day with no exceptions to anything they do, then look no further than the Co-Founder of Signature. I have worked with Emilie for the last 2x years at Signature and the learnings I have taken are leagues above anything I have taken from previous roles in my career. When I started at SCM, I quickly realized I was un-organized, lacked structure and also massively lacked detail which for the recruitment world are incredibly important to succeed. I have no doubt that if I was at another firm, I wouldn't have been given the time of day to improve on these aspects but Emilie saw something in me and gave me the time and tools to improve not just in my professional career but also my personal life to! She is an immense judge of character and I have never seen anyone as good as her in a world of search and selection. Whether it's managing a candidate's journey through a process or helping clients grow high performing commercial teams, she is the only person I would recommend in the highest regard. If you are someone who is looking to step into the recruitment world and have a leader who genuinely cares, look no further than Emilie. I have never had someone who has believed in me as much as Emilie has in my career and I will never forget this and the all the amazing things I have managed to achieve working for Emilie and the rest of the team at Signature! Thank you for absolutely everything Emilie.

Emilie's commitment to excellence and her genuine concern for the well-being of her employees ensure that you're never reduced to a mere statistic; rather, you're valued as an integral part of the organization. Emilie embodies dedication and integrity in all her endeavors, guaranteeing that every recruitment endeavor undertaken by Signature is characterised by quality and precision. If you're contemplating a career in recruitment, look no further than Signature. Their approach is not just thorough; it's outstanding.
