Recruitment Agencies based in Berkshire
Based in the South East of the UK, Berkshire is considered one of the home counties and includes areas such as Reading, Slough and Bracknell. The county is located just to the west of London and the local economy largely reflects that of the capital. Recruitment agencies in the area will therefore commonly fill high salary jobs and often recruit London commuters.
Recruitment agencies in Berkshire are usually located within the most heavily populated settlements - including Maidenhead, Bracknell, Wokingham and Reading.
