our experience

Ascentia was founded in 2023 with one very clear aim – to provide best in-class service to our chosen markets delivered through a true partnership approach. Our aim is not to “reinvent the wheel” but to ensure world-class delivery by doing things right, building honest, lasting and non-transactional relationships with our partner businesses and candidates. Given the rate of development of new technologies, never before has it been more essential for businesses to secure the very best people resources to drive growth and sophistication.

Our capability within our core markets is second to none, we understand the challenge of tying together technological growth with strong commercial decision-making, this is why we take a “people first” approach at every stage of our process – we don’t tick boxes, we provide solutions.

We foster a collaborative, consultative approach and believe in building strong relationships with our clients, understanding their unique needs, and tailoring solutions that align with their long-term goals. We’re not just a service provider; we are your strategic partner, invested in your success as much as you are. At Ascentia , we’re not just your run of the mill service providers; we’re your partners in success. Picture us as an enthusiastic extension of your team, passionately dedicated to landing individuals in roles they genuinely love.

When it comes to our clients, we believe in fearless partnerships: We boldly embrace the power of difficult conversations. Why? Because we know that true partnership goes beyond nods of agreement; it thrives at the core of challenging discussions.

Our culture is one of excellence, accountability and personal drive. We work as a collective, supporting one another in our individual successes – we don’t pit ourselves against each other, we grow together.

Ironically, whilst recruitment is our business, our value-add goes much deeper… We deliver bespoke solutions to complex problems; we’re recognised as thought leaders within our markets and go beyond filling roles. We hate the stigma that surrounds our industry – we are not a sales floor; this is not wolf of wall-street. No chest beating, no egos. Ever.

Our mission is crystal clear: we’re all about delivering a top-notch service whilst crafting lasting, honest partnerships.

As industry specialists, we get the needs and the nitty-gritty of business like no one else. This deep understanding fuels our proactive approach, ensuring our partnerships aren’t just about today but are all about crafting a future that’s transformative and forward focused.

A great business is only as great as its people, so we’re laser focused on our mission to be the market leading company within our field. A dominant force driven by people who are true leaders within their markets and who deliver real business value to our clients above and beyond the usual recruitment hum-drum.

We’re all about partnership, adding value and nurturing a community of industry professionals who are passionate about the space.

A big part of our purpose to do our bit in the community via our CSR programme, be it volunteering at Manchester Dogs Home, helping care for the dogs (walkies!) and donating food, equipment and blankets for our furry friends to raising money for our chosen charities through sponsored challenges, like climbing the three peaks! Another initiative close to our heart is doing our bit for our local community by taking part in litter picking along Manchester’s canal system, helping local wildlife and keeping our city clean!
