Vision
At Highfield and DataX our vision is to become the most trusted recruitment business in our sectors.
This doesn’t just mean being experts, knowledgeable in our niches, but to be transparent throughout the recruitment process; to both our clients and candidates. This means we will provide advice that is personal to each individual and helps to guide them to exactly where they want to be.
"We are always positively discontent with our feedback scores and always look to learn, listen and improve our service in order to build trusting long-term relationships. "
Josh Jones - Senior Recruitment Consultant
Internally we continually talk about the trust equation. To us trust means we are:

Reliable

Credible

Building relationships

Putting the customer first

Our trust starts with our people and our own empowerment of them. We are very selective about who joins the team, we assess everyone against our core values and ensure they have a customer first mentality. This is vital as how we will achieve our vision is through our mission – by being obsessed with providing the best customer experience. The experienced teams we have at Highfield always put the customer first at every step.
Mission
With a vision to be the most trusted recruitment business in our sectors, our mission looks at how we will achieve that - by being obsessed with providing the best customer service.

We embrace the fact that everyone is an individual and understand that we are all on our own path to find a career or role that meets our personal needs, or are looking for the ideal candidate to help us achieve our company or personal goals.

We are so serious about customer experience that we ask our candidates and clients to evaluate our service throughout their journey with us. Our consultants review their feedback scores every week and we consistently recognise and reward people who demonstrate exceptional service. This can be anyone in any area of the business as we are all continually looking at our customer journeys and how to improve them.

We are always positively discontent with these scores and always look to learn, listen and improve our service in order to build trusting long-term relationships.
"We do what we say we will do for our clients, we listen and ensure we really understand our customers and candidates for the longer term. "
Molly Brown - Lead Recruitment Consultant
