Cheshire

Recruit in Northwich without the agency fee

Agencies charge 15–20% of salary, usually £8,000 to £11,000 for a professional hire. Floated is a flat £2,000 when someone starts, and free until then.

Northwich firms recruit from mid-Cheshire towns like Winsford, Middlewich and Knutsford, where candidates rarely appear on big-city job boards.
