Permanent & Interim

Getting permanent and interim recruitment right is vital as your core team shapes your culture, represents your brand, and drives the success of your company.

Our clients

Since joining Bloomsbury in March 2021, I have been working closely with Jennie Hooper and the Inspired Selection team as preferred agency partners. I have found Jennie and the team to not only be knowledgeable across the publishing sector, but also efficient, friendly and we have forged a real working partnership. They have gone above and beyond to support myself and the hiring managers in our search for the right fit for Bloomsbury and they rise to any challenge we put to them! Inspired Selection have made several key placements with us and I look forward to a continued successful relationship with the Inspired Selection team.

HR Manager

Jennie is a highly skilled publishing recruiter with brilliant communication, negotiation and people skills. Throughout the recruitment process she was always on hand to offer a wise word of advice, encouragement or provide support, and proved invaluable when it came to agreeing the final job offer. I hope we'll work together again in the not-too-distant future.
