It’s all in the name
We’re a business support and administrative recruitment provider, so our name reflects our purpose. A honeycomb is one of the world’s strongest natural support geometries, admired through the ages by eminent minds. Charles Darwin believed it to be ‘absolutely perfect in economising labour’. We agree.
A natural honeycomb in a beehive is rendered a bit pointless without hard working bees to fill it up. That’s why our structure has been created specifically with support services staff in mind. What we do makes what they do, possible. And that helps our clients’ businesses to thrive.
That’s what we mean when we say, ‘our talent is growing business’. And where we got our name.
Your success is our success.
That’s just how we do things. Let’s succeed together.
Introducing our very own bunch of talented people, who expertly source and place appropriately talented candidates to help organisations thrive.

We do things the Honeycomb way
We blaze a trail as one of UK and Ireland’s only dedicated business support recruitment agencies. However, our pioneering approach goes much further than just recruitment. Deeper too. Every Honeycomb candidate is hand-picked. Every position and company culture, carefully considered. That level of care and curation, intellect and insight is how we set ourselves apart. Putting it in play with every vacant role and opportunity means we fuel our clients’ business growth, delivering the support they need today and the talent they’ll need tomorrow.
Vision, Mission and Values
Vision:
To elevate the reputation of support services recruitment as an indispensable contributor to business success, and to become the leading agency providing that service in the UK & Ireland.
Mission:
Connect top candidate talent with relevant opportunities that establish rewarding career paths. Source appropriate support for clients that enhances their capability and plays a positive role in powering their business growth.
Values:
Talented
This isn’t just about our experience and insight, although we have both of those by the bucket-load. We have the expertise to see potential and make things happen.
We think about things differently, setting new standards and inspiring people. We help to grow client businesses by placing the best talent in the right role.
Forward-thinking
We’re blazing a trail as one of the first recruitment agencies in the UK and Ireland focused solely on business support and administrative roles. But despite this single-minded specialism, we are anything but one-trick ponies.
Our approach is curated and considered, building relationships with clients and candidates alike. Our success is the success of every person who comes to us for support or placement.
Collaborative
As our name suggests, we are an interconnected team, finding strength in our individual talent, while working towards one shared goal.
As individuals, we are good, but together we are great. Unbeatable, even. Collaboration is central to our ethos, to our community and to our success.
