Hiring shouldn’t slow you down

We support local companies when hiring crops up — simply, fairly, and with minimal noise.

What we believe

Hiring should feel good.
It should reflect your values, your mission, and where your business is heading.

Too often it feels rushed, misaligned, or transactional.
We believe it can be better.

middle was created to bring clarity, care, and meaning back into hiring.

We work with local teams who want to grow with purpose.
Who care about who they hire, why it matters, and what it means.

Because hiring is never just about filling a role.
It is about shaping culture, building trust, and something long-term

Working with middle

"I was contacted by Cal for an interesting job opportunity which ended up in an offer that I was very happy with! Cal was very helpful and gave me some tips on different aspects of the opportunity, and was never pushy like many other recruiters I have come across. Would definitely recommend Middle Recruitment to anyone seeking a job!"

"Cal is a recruiter who stands out from the rest. Unlike many recruiters I have worked with over the years, Cal prioritises partnership over profit. He is dedicated to helping secure the right candidate for the job, rather than simply placing someone and moving on quickly."

Karen - Founder

“As a long established business we have been hiring technical staff for over a decade. In that time we have tried several agencies and websites, but always struggled to find enough quality candidates. Working with Middle has been a breath of fresh air. They took the time to really understand what we were looking for"
