About RHR

Connecting great people with great businesses since 1988

For nearly four decades, RHR has been helping organisations and individuals find the right fit by building careers, strengthening teams, and creating long-term partnerships along the way.

We’ve partnered with an incredibly diverse range of organisations — from global multinationals to growing family businesses, from major public sector bodies like the NHS to small charities with fewer than ten employees. No matter the size or sector, our approach remains consistent: honest, thoughtful, and built on trust.

Whether you’re hiring a Digital Services Manager in Manchester or searching for an HR Business Partner within healthcare, you can rely on our experience, insight, and commitment to delivering a service that feels personal, responsive, and results-driven.

A business owned by its people

Why that matters to you

You’ll often hear companies say, “our people are our greatest asset.” At RHR, we decided to go a step further and make that a reality.

We became an Employee Owned Trust, placing the business into the hands of our people. In simple terms, our team shares in the long-term success of RHR — creating a culture where everyone has a genuine stake in what we do.

What does that mean for you?

• You work with people who have real ownership and accountability
• Every consultant has a vested interest in delivering the best possible outcome
• There’s a strong focus on continuous improvement and long-term relationships
• Success is shared, so your success matters even more to us

For both clients and candidates, this creates a more engaged, motivated, and committed team of people who truly care about getting it right.

For our clients, that means taking the time to deeply understand your business, culture, and goals so we can introduce people who genuinely add value.

For our candidates, it means more than simply finding your next role. We focus on long-term relationships, offering advice, insight, and support at every stage.
