The total recruitment talent partner to the property and real estate industry

Our mission is to make everyone’s Mondays Matter

We’re now more than a decade old and time certainly flies when you love what you do as much as we do.

When Joshua Rayner created Rayner Personnel back in 2012, it was because he knew having the right people and the best talent was the difference between a good business and a great one.

He hasn’t deviated from that belief and our values remain the same today as they were back then.

But that doesn’t mean we’ve stood still.

We’ve built our own talented team, packed with more than 70 years of recruitment know-how and a huge 400 years’ experience in the property sector.

And we’ve evolved in line with the businesses and people we serve, offering a huge range of services from workforce planning, branding, assessment and selection to onboarding, employee engagement and talent acquisition at all levels.

Don't just take our word for it, here's what one of our valued clients had to say about their experience with Rayner Personnel

    Recommendation

    There’s no better gauge of our success than a positive recommendation. We strive to provide a level of service to all our clients that means they’d be happy to refer us to someone else.
