Faststream Named In Recruiter Fast50 For Second Consecutive Year

SOUTHAMPTON, U.K. - Feb. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Specialist recruiter Faststream has been named for the second consecutive year in the Recruiter FAST 50, a list of the 50 fastest growing recruitment companies in the UK compiled by leading industry magazine The Recruiter.

Recruiter’s FAST 50 ranks the fastest-growing private recruitment businesses in the UK according to annual sales growth over the last three years. Faststream’s compound annual growth rate of over 27% last year saw Faststream hit the top as the number one recruiter covering the maritime sector and number 34 in the overall rankings.

“We’re delighted to have made it onto the FAST 50 for the second consecutive year” says Faststream CEO Mark Charman. “This is recognition for all of the continued hard work shown by our staff, and the dedication of everyone in the organisation to keep getting better at what we do”.

Faststream’s global headquarters in Southampton has seen significant growth over the last year. The business has recently secured significant additional office space in its Ocean Village base which will allow the business to expand from 80 through to 130 staff in the next two years.

“Our hiring plans over the next year are being driven by the additional business we’re securing from existing and new clients” says Charman. “Experienced recruiters looking to work in highly specialist markets will benefit from a running start when they join us. The demand for our service in the maritime, oil and gas and built environment markets continues to rise and there’s a real opportunity for recruiters to come into the business and take advantage of this”.

“Equally we’re looking for graduates and non-experienced recruiters who are looking for a real career opportunity and have the drive, determination and ambition to be the best. Faststream are proud to be one of the Sunday Times top 100 businesses to work for in the UK which is in part due to our commitment in training and developing new staff”.

Faststream Recruitment Group was established in Southampton in 1999. The group now employs over 130 staff across a network of offices in Europe, Asia and North America.
