The culture at BJ is unlike no other. Yes, we are professional, dedicated, and hardworking – but we have fun at the same time, and reward our staff for the work they put in.

Our global reach means we are a diverse community, with a strong mix of nationalities, languages, and personalities.

We are delighted to announce that, for the third year in a row, Barrington James has placed in the Sunday Times ‘Top 100 Best Small Companies To Work For’. Finishing 31st in 2017, 11th in 2018, and a brilliant 5th in 2019, it is a true testament to the satisfaction of our employees, and an achievement we’re all extremely proud of.

The company is highly renowned for its best-in-class rewards, including our shareholder scheme (41% of the company is owned by employees), uncapped commission with no threshold plus unique bonus structures, and unparalleled all-expenses-paid trips abroad. We also offer monthly 1pm finishes on Fridays for target-hitting consultants, as well as regular office incentives and charity days (and of course, The Barrington Arms!)

A huge achievement for the company is being recognised by The Sunday Times as a BEST COMPANY TO WORK FOR three years in a row. We have moved from 31st place in 2017 to a brilliant 5th place in 2019, achieving consistently high scores for ‘Employee Engagement’, reflecting how our people value our place of work as much as we value them.

The range of services Barrington James offers to clients has evolved, and continues to evolve, to meet their changing needs and ambitions. Over the last decade our organization, and its capabilities, have been transformed.
Originally, a purely contingency and contract recruiter, focused in the UK, Barrington James is now a sophisticated, highly effective provider of human resources solutions up to full RPO, partnering the pharma, medical devices, and healthcare industries right across the globe.
