How The Recruit Venture Group bought SH Recruitment to Life
Samantha Hunter launched SH Recruitment in August 2019 with a mission to find the best local talent for automotive and engineering companies across the West Midlands.
Samantha had worked in the recruitment sector for five years before launching her own business and said that launching with backing and support from The Recruit Venture Group was easier than she ever thought possible.
“I couldn’t believe how quickly everything came together,” she said.
“You have got a team of experts creating your business for you, they keep you informed every step of the way but you haven’t got to constantly chase suppliers or negotiate contracts.

Samantha always knew she wanted to launch her own recruitment business and described launching with The Recruit Venture Group as the best of both worlds.
“The way The Recruit Venture Group do things left me free to worry about building my team from the best people I could find and make sure we were ready to hit the ground running on day one.
“I told them (The Recruit Venture Group) what I wanted and they delivered, they know how to launch a business because it is what they do best and it leaves me free to do what I do best.”
SH Recruitment is based in Royal Leamington Spa and supplies a range of contract, permanent and temporary staff to automotive and engineering companies across the West Midlands and beyond.
Samantha’s vision for her business was to keep things simple and always be honest with candidates and clients.
Now she is the boss and in control of her business, she is able to implement that vision in everything her and her team do.
She said: “I didn’t want a complicated slogan or strap line, I wanted something real and something that I could evidence to our candidates and clients.
“Simple Honest Recruitment does exactly that.
“I want to find the best local talent for the region’s businesses to help them grow and drive the regional economy.
“We have got so much potential in the West Midlands and to be able to play a part in that in my own business is really exciting.”
Samantha always knew she wanted to launch her own recruitment business and described launching with The Recruit Venture Group as the best of both worlds.
“The partnership with The Recruit Venture Group is great, I have full autonomy over my business but all the support I need behind me to grow SH Recruitment.
“It is the best of both worlds and very rare that you are given the backing you need to launch and grow without someone interfering in the day to day operations.
“The back-office support is complete and leaves me free to focus my time on registering candidates, delivering for our clients and mentoring my team.
“Time is in short supply when you are in a new business, there is so much to do but with The Recruit Venture Group I am able to make the most of my time.”
