This year marks ten years since the launch of Kirkland Associates, and it feels like the perfect time to reflect on what has been an incredibly rewarding and exciting journey. From humble beginnings to where we are now, the past decade has been full of growth, learning, and most importantly, people.

Back in 2015, Kirkland Associates started as a leap of faith: one laptop, one phone, and a dining room table. From those early days, the core idea was simple, to provide high quality, honest recruitment services with a personal touch. That mission has not changed. If anything, it has grown stronger!

The thing I am most grateful for is the team. Our journey over the past ten years would not have been possible without the dedication and passion of the incredible individuals who make up Kirkland Associates.  Their unwavering commitment to our values has shaped our reputation for quality and integrity. It is not just about placing candidates to the team, it is about relationships, trust, and long term success for everyone we work with.

Over the years, we have supported a wide range of clients in Commercial, Legal and Engineering roles, forming partnerships that we are immensely proud of. We have also had the privilege of helping thousands of candidates take important steps in their careers. We know job hunting can be daunting, and we have always made it our goal to offer support, guidance, and transparency every step of the way.

We have faced our share of challenges, recruitment is never without them.  Our foundations have always remained strong, that is thanks to a culture built on mutual respect, care, and shared goals. Whether in the office or out meeting clients and candidates, our values show up in everything we do.

As we look ahead, we are excited for what the future holds. We have some exciting plans in place to continue growing and evolving while staying true to what matters most: our people, our service, and our standards.  Here is to the next chapter and the next ten years.
