Life at Impact
Impact Recruitment
We are a top-rated recruitment agency based in Northamptonshire and Peterborough.
Since 2002, we’ve specialised in recruiting across a variety of roles within Commercial, Industrial, Supply Chain, and Technical & Engineering.
Permanent, temporary, or interim, we cover them all.
But what truly drives us isn’t just filling roles, it’s the impact we make in transforming careers, strengthening companies, and supporting communities across Northamptonshire.
Long-term Commitment
Our team’s stability is a testament to the culture we’ve built together, with staff longevity serving as a core pillar of our success. We are incredibly proud that almost a third of our employees have been with us for over 10 years, providing a level of expertise and continuity that is rare in the recruitment industry.
This long-term commitment doesn’t just speak to the loyalty of our people, but to an environment that fosters genuine career growth and personal fulfillment.
Career Progression
We ask our consultants to do recruitment the right way: proper briefings, proper screening, no padding, no shortcuts. That only works if the business backs them up. Our mission as an employer is to be the agency that makes “doing it properly” the easiest way to earn well here – not a virtue you have to sacrifice income for.
For experienced recruitment consultants who are tired of being managed by activity metrics instead of results, Impact is the desk where the work is warm, the earnings are uncapped and realistic, and the only thing that matters is whether you bill, because we’d rather trust you to do the job than watch you do it.
Perks & Vibes
Initial 20 days per annum (plus bank holidays) rising by 1 day for each year of service for 1-5 years.
6-10 years will be capped at 25 days until 10 years’ service, rising to 30 days.

We have a flexible approach to working hours for personal requirements (appointments, childcare, etc) and to compensate for occasional demands caused during busy periods or weekends.
Dependent on availability, access to free tickets for all England fixtures. Access to further music and sport events.
A very morbid benefit but a benefit all the same.

Comprehensive in-house and external training courses leading to professional recruitment qualifications.
All staff are eligible for contributory grants to fund further education courses that are industry related.
We work with schools and colleges to improve student employability.

We review annually in January and consistently strive to pay at an average or higher than the industry average across all job functions.
Pension available after 12 weeks of employment.
The commission is uncapped. There’s no ceiling, so your earnings are down to what you bill. Your desk is your business, the more you put in, the more you’re going to get out.
Realistic Commission Growth:
- Year 1 around £45k
- Year 2 around £55k
