Miracle design for fun, Impact build them a team to last.
A Recruitment Partnership Built on Trust, Culture and Long-Term Growth
Finding great people is about more than matching skills to a job description. It’s about understanding a business, its culture and where it’s heading.
For more than 15 years, Impact Recruitment has partnered with Miracle Design & Play, supporting the business as it has grown from a smaller team into a thriving organisation of more than 50 employees.
About Miracle Design & Play
Miracle Design & Play delivers Section 106 public open spaces for national housebuilders, creating engaging and high-quality outdoor play environments across the UK.
Operating in a specialist market, every hire plays an important role in supporting the business’s continued growth. From commercial and technical positions to design and customer care, recruiting the right people is essential – not just for the skills they bring, but for how they fit within the wider team.
Understanding the Business Behind the Vacancy
Recruitment is most successful when you understand the business as well as the role.
Over the years, our team has built a genuine partnership with Miracle through regular site visits, ongoing conversations and close collaboration with hiring managers. Rather than recruiting from a brief alone, we’ve taken the time to understand how the business operates, the people who thrive there and what success looks like across different departments.
This deeper understanding allows us to represent the business accurately in the market and identify candidates who not only have the right technical abilities but also share Miracle’s values and culture.
As the Miracle team explains in the video, we don’t simply send CVs, we provide carefully selected candidates who are the right fit from the outset.
Some of the many people we placed at Miracle

Conor Waddell - Regional Partnership Manager
Supporting Growth Every Step of the Way
As Miracle has continued to grow, so too has our partnership.
Today, the business employs more than 50 people, with Impact Recruitment supporting hires across almost every area of the organisation, including:
- Commercial
- Technical
- Design
- Customer Care
- Construction
- Senior Management
Many of the company’s senior leaders, including members of the leadership team, joined the business through Impact Recruitment.
By maintaining an ongoing understanding of the business and its future hiring plans, we’re able to support recruitment proactively, helping Miracle secure the talent it needs as the business evolves.
A Recruitment Process Built Around Quality
For Miracle, recruitment isn’t about filling vacancies as quickly as possible.
Every candidate is carefully assessed to ensure they have both the technical capability and the personal qualities needed to become part of the team.
Our consultative approach focuses on:
- Understanding the culture behind every vacancy.
- Thorough candidate screening and vetting.
- Honest communication throughout the hiring process.
- Presenting a carefully selected shortlist rather than overwhelming hiring managers with unsuitable applications.
- Acting as an extension of the internal team.
This approach saves valuable time while giving hiring managers confidence that every candidate introduced has been chosen for a reason.
The Results
Our long-term partnership with Miracle has delivered consistent recruitment success over many years.
Together, we’ve helped the business:
- Recruit across multiple specialist departments.
- Support sustained business growth.
- Build a strong senior leadership team.
- Reduce the time and effort involved in hiring.
- Attract candidates who remain with the business for the long term.
- Develop a trusted recruitment partnership built on collaboration and shared understanding.
Rather than working on individual vacancies in isolation, we’ve become an extension of Miracle’s recruitment process, helping the business plan ahead and hire with confidence.
