How Do We Hire For Yorkshire Businesses?
Sewell Wallis is trusted by businesses across Sheffield, Leeds, and the wider Yorkshire region to deliver recruitment that works. We're a people-focused agency built on transparency, and market knowledge built over two decades of experience in the sector. We work closely with you, spending our time getting to know you and what you're trying to accomplish; whether that's scaling an established team, looking for new leadership or starting from scratch, we can support your project.
Your business is unique, with it's own ownership structure and growth plan. We immerse ourselves in those details before approaching candidates, which is why our placements stick. Our consultants in Sheffield and Leeds place talent across five sectors: accountancy & finance, HR, business support, not-for-profit and public sector, and executive search.
Accounting & Finance
We place finance talent into industry roles and accountancy practices across Yorkshire, recruiting at every level of finance.
For our industry clients, we place candidates into transactional roles such as purchase ledger, sales ledger, accounts payable, payroll, and finance admin positions, through to qualified professionals, including management accountants, assistant accountants, finance managers and financial controllers, right up to senior positions such as finance directors and CFOs.
Across the practice sector, we place candidates from AAT trainees and ACA training contracts through to audit seniors, tax managers, and senior managers. Whether you're a Big 4 office, a top-20 regional firm, or an independent practice, we know which candidates are moving and which are staying put.
HR, People & Culture
Strong HR talent powers your business. We recruit HR professionals at every level, from HR Administrators, HR Officers, and HR Managers up to HR Business Partners, HR Directors, and Chief People Officers. Our team can also help with specialist HR roles, including talent acquisition and people analytics, along with providing interim support at all levels if you're looking for a temporary team member to bolster your HR offering.
Business Support
A strong business support team can elevate your business. We can find you operational talent at all levels, whether you're looking for customer service staff, you're building out your marketing team or your business needs more administrative support. We have a strong network of customer service and admin talent from entry level through to management, and can provide temporary, interim or permanent staff depending on your specific needs.
Executive Search
When you need fresh leadership, our finance, HR, and operational network across Yorkshire gives you direct access to passive senior talent. We run executive search assignments at C-suite level (CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, CHRO) and can support with dedicated succession planning and salary benchmarking projects for senior teams.
Not-for-Profit
We've built long-term relationships with charities, public sector organisations and educational institutions across Yorkshire. Our network includes professionals who bring genuine commercial capability into mission-led environments, helping NFP and public sector employers attract candidates who drive impact without treating the sector as a stepping stone.
