As a "Hoopie",you’re part of something different.We put people first. Always.We were the first recruitment agency in Wales to become an Employee-Owned Trust. Here's what you can expect:

• ? Hybrid working

• ?? Competitive commission scheme

• ?? Pawternity leave

• ? Birthday leave

• ?? Annual trip incentive*

• ?? Regular team socials

And most importantly:

• ? TRUST

• ? HONESTY

• ? A CLEAR PROGRESSION PLAN

Sounds great, yes?

But how many adverts sell you the dream... and the reality disappoints?

Let us give you a real example:

Our Healthcare Business Manager joined us as a trainee recruiter just 6 months after Hoop launched. Through her drive and work ethic — even on the tough days — she’s progressed to a senior leadership role. She’s trusted to lead, innovate, and grow, and she’s built her career with us every step of the way. That’s not an exception — it’s the culture here.

We champion our team to succeed, and we learn from each other every day. This is a two-way street — always.
