Who We Are

Founded in 2011, Gleeson was built to challenge the norm and create something people genuinely enjoy being part of. From the very start, the focus has been simple: build a business based on trust, authenticity and doing the right thing.

We’ve never believed in the typical high-pressure, target-heavy environment. Instead, we’ve created a culture where people come first, where you can be yourself, build strong relationships and actually enjoy what you do.

If you’re looking for a recruitment business where you’re trusted, valued and set up to thrive, you’ll feel right at home at Gleeson.
