As we celebrate our 10th anniversary at Telfer Partners, we reflect on a journey marked by growth and success. Since our inception in 2014, we are proud to have established ourselves as a trusted name in recruitment for the education, learning, and research sectors, successfully completing over 350 assignments and placing candidates in more than 60 organizations based in 20 different countries across 5 continents. As we mark our 10th year in 2024, we celebrate not just our achievements but also the trust and loyalty we are very grateful to have received from our clients and candidates. This milestone is a testament to our dedication, hard work, and the strong relationships we’ve built over the years.

Overcoming Challenges

The past decade hasn’t been without its challenges. The rapidly changing job markets, global economic pressures, technological advancements, and the global pandemic all frequently test our resilience. Each challenge is met with innovation and adaptability, reinforcing our commitment to excellence. Our focus during the COVID-19 crisis was to help our clients switch to remote recruitment processes and onboarding which included supporting our candidates through many months of remote only working before finally meeting colleagues in person!

 

Looking to the Future

As we look ahead, we remain focused on growth and innovation. Our goal is to further enhance our services and continue building meaningful relationships. Our mission remains unchanged: to connect organisations and talented individuals from diverse backgrounds with opportunities that allow both to thrive.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of our journey—our dedicated team, loyal clients, and talented candidates. Here’s to the next ten years filled with continued success and new milestones.
