Situated on the River Tees, Middlesbrough is a town and borough in the north-east of the UK. The steel and iron industry here once earned Middlesbrough the nickname 'Ironopolis,' but substantial decline in the industry since the 1990s has forced the region to transition to a modern service economy, supported by light industry and distribution. Recruitment agencies in the area therefore serve an array of employer types and will work with local businesses to hire permanent, temp or contract staff.

Today, the public sector in Middlesbrough is one of the proportionately largest in the UK, and supports more than 42% of all local employees.
