We recruit at every level of the people function, from HR Administrators and HR Officers through to HR Business Partners, Heads of HR, HR Directors, and Chief People Officers. We also cover specialist roles including talent acquisition, learning and development, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, workforce planning, and people analytics.

Our placement history spans manufacturing, financial services, professional services, tech, and not-for-profit organisations across the region. We've placed HR talent into businesses where culture, retention, and employer brand have direct commercial impact - which is every business that takes hiring seriously.

Why You Should Hire HR Talent With Us.

HR hiring rewards cultural fit and strategic thinking as heavily as technical compliance. We screen for CIPD progression, employment law fluency, and the specific behaviours your business needs at this point in its growth, whether that's culture-build, scale-up support, or transformation delivery. We benchmark salaries against live market data, brief you on counter-offer probability, and validate candidates against your business stage before they reach interview. Our HR talent market in Sheffield analysis covers how competitive the current market has become, and our top six HR soft skills for 2025 breakdown sets out what we screen for at shortlist stage.

For employers across Yorkshire and the North, Sewell Wallis is the trusted partner in HR recruitment. Brief us on your role and we'll get to work.
