Bond Moran

Our Story

Recruitment is never dull…and neither is BondMoran. We champion the work-life balance and if you're looking for an environment where you have a say in moulding the direction of the business, then BondMoran have all of the ingredients to make this happen.

Based on the North London/Herts borders with a hybrid approach, we offer a mature environment where experience and knowledge meets with automation and a genuine care and focus.

With a level of personalisation that is unparalleled within our sector (“BondMoran do personalised touches better than anyone in the business” – Gordon Stoddart), we delight our contacts, and that subsequently drives the engine of our business.

We encourage ‘personality’ as a business and in individuals and if you need tangible proof of that, just check out Lawrence's LinkedIn content! https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencebond/

How we get things done

We ’might’ be the only recruitment company who doesn’t chase new business!

It’s all about relationships!

We are not a typical KPI driven environment and we don't have 'core hours' or daily cold calling sessions.
We ‘partner’ with our contacts (that means recruiting clients, job seekers and all others who we interact with), and we do a great job of advising and supporting with various requirements to build truly long-lasting relationships.
They then tell their contacts about us and the business cycle continues. We consistently check-in with the people we place, those we don’t and anyone else involved.

We use multiple individual, tailored, touch-points during the process to enhance the candidate and client journey, to create a completely unique customer experience!
We always remember the ‘human’ side and factor this into our approach and create the high level of engagement we’re so proud of.
We blend knowledge, technology, human interaction, automation and processes to get things done in the BM way.

Who said that there are no USPs in recruitment?

During Covid, we used a secret weapon that meant we had more powerful interactions with clients (and potential clients) than ever!

Lawrence, our Director used to be a magician and as we entered an unprecedented period of virtual team get togethers, BM we able to offer a real USP.

We offered free magic shows to entire companies, board meetings and workshops that involved training with a touch of magic. We even supported many of our contacts elderly relatives of clients and children who were struggling with lock down.

The engagement we built was priceless. In return, we asked for a ‘seat at the table when Covid ‘disappeared’

Our Culture

'Normal' is boring!

You start at BondMoran with trust, exposure to all aspects of the business, and a level of support that is NOT the norm within recruitment. We’re a tight-knit, welcoming group and our ‘BM gang’ ranges from veterans of the sector to grads and trainees. This is what makes us work so well and, as a team, everyone looks out for each other.

'Engagement' is the DNA that runs through our business and that's clear with our clients, job seekers and very much with out internal team and support network.

Our motto is ‘relationships are more important that the deal’ and we live by this.

If speaks volumes about our culture and approach that we have NEVER had traditional KPIs, and we don't ‘cold call’.

Would you fit into the BM way?

No commission structure

Again, this is NOT the norm (after all, normal is boring!).

Everyone at BM earns a strong annual salary for being great at their job and our team love that!

We want to encourage the very best practice and create professional consultants who work in the most collaborative manner in the market and offer the best, impartial advice. Our clients and job seekers love that part!

We have all seen consultants lose out on their commission for a number of factors outside of their control, when they have invested their knowledge and time and, very simply, that's not fair!

Therefore, everyone at BM earns well and naturally, we offer a range of additional benefits too.

If you've ever had a bad month, a bad quarter or a tough time affect your pay, that won't be the case at BM. We've got your back!

See our LinkedIn post.

Relationships REALLY are more important than a deal!

When we say that ‘relationships are THE most important thing’, this applies internally as much as externally and this approach runs through our culture and everything we do.

We can often be found in a huddle bouncing ideas off each other, whether it’s about improving the customer experience, our next big marketing idea or where to go for our incentive trip, everyone’s ideas are always welcome!

We all have different “superpowers” and understand how to use each other’s strengths to ensure the best outcome for all involved. Think of us as the modern day, recruitment avengers!

Technology, automation and 'process'

As our culture is all about building relationships, we want you to be talking to, and meeting with, our contacts. Whether it’s a business chat, a value-add session for our client’s business, a lunch, a round of golf or anything that helps get to build trust and respect.

You can’t spend enough quality time with contacts if you’re spending all of your time on admin!

There have been countless business books and studies that prove that the best companies are those who have clear systems and processes to help ensure the basic things are done consistently and well.

We have embraced that philosophy and the end result is that we have a unique technology, automation and process driven infrastructure that makes it easier than ever to do the right things at the right time.

We won't share all of our trade secrets just yet, but if you want to come and see how we do this, let us know and we'll get the kettle on!

We LOVE to develop people

Within our team, we have several, highly-experienced recruitment Directors who have successfully managed, developed, coached and mentored some of the top performers within recruitment.

Some of us at BM may have been around forever, however we're ALL constantly learning new ways of working and developing and we want that to be the same for everyone in our gang.

We run regular in-house sessions, use external support and we all have full access to our great friends at TRN (The Recruitment Network) who have so much knowledge and resources that, if we wanted, every day could be a school day!

Our Benefits

We are currently implementing an EMI scheme to ensure that everyone has more than just a ‘sense’ of ownership.

We pay a generous salary as we value knowledge and that can either be structured as a guaranteed salary (as everyone at BM currently chooses) or alternatively, we're flexible enough to create a structure that works for you!

We also tailor the ‘flexible’ part of 'flexible' benefits' to each individual - that's true flexibility!

As an example, some of us work different hours to others, to ensure that our job and life fit together perfectly.

Although our culture means that we have never had to monitor it, we offer 24 days holiday PLUS the day after your birthday off. At least that way you can REALLY enjoy the BIG day!

Every year we have a BM Bank Holiday - an extra day off….just because!

After 5 years service, you also get a 4 week sabbatical

We use a huge range of tools, including market leading tech and automation, along with a multitude of ‘human’ touches, to ensure you have every opportunity to build deep-routed relationships that enable you to outperform the norm.

We are surrounded by an incredible network of amazing professionals in every area required to help support and develop you. Additionally, when you join BM, you also become a member of TRN and the unrivalled support that entails.

We want you to be talking to clients and job seekers and we encourage you to go for lunches, rounds of golf and provide the framework and freedom to spend time with people, building meaningful relationships.

Every BM employee has LinkedIn Recruiter licenses, phone and laptop. We have internal marketing support, a great social presence and we'll give you absolutely everything needed to outperform the market, whilst loving what you do!

It's hard to put our wellbeing initiatives in a box. We're a ‘work family’ and it's our culture to look out for each other. If there's a relative who is unwell or a similar challenge, we'll do anything to help, whether that's time-related, takeaways or other support.

If someone is stressed, we'll send them for a massage, a manicure or a rest.

We have our annual, 5*, all-inclusive ‘retreat’. We have even included partners previously!

We have regular ‘take-away nights’ where our team can grab a meal for their family on us. After all when we're busy, who has time to cook!

We offer private healthcare after one year's service with a range of mental and physical support available.
