Corporate Coaching and Recruitment Awards 2025 | 5 Ethical Recruitment Excellence Award 2025 The recruitment industry plays a crucial role in shaping the labour market and supporting sectors around the world. Yet in such an expansive space, many individuals find themselves burned by unethical practices, which harm candidates, damage organisational reputations, and undermine the recruitment process itself. Supreme Search Specialists is on a mission to reshape this industry, offering exceptional recruitment solutions driven by a people-first, no-pressure approach. We spoke to Founder and CEO John Read below for more information. Founded in 2019 by John Read, Supreme Search Specialists is a family-run, people-first recruitment agency aiming to remove pressure from the recruitment process and help industries retain true talent. With offices in Harrogate and Manchester, the agency operates across the UK, USA & Canada, focusing on permanent placements in the veterinary, accounting, and legal sectors with an approach that is hands-on, personal, and always tailored to the individual needs of both candidates and employers. “Our core mission has remained the same: people-first, qualityover-quantity, and pressure-free,” John told us. “What has evolved is our reach and recognition; we have grown from a small team to a globally trusted agency, and our brand reflects our commitment to honesty, approachability, and continuous improvement based on feedback from those we serve.” In a market saturated with recruitment agencies, Supreme Search Specialists stands out for grounding every interaction in compassion, honesty, and genuine care for candidates and clients alike. The agency prioritises quality over quantity, taking the time to truly understand the goals, clinical interests, and personal aspirations of every candidate it serves. This invaluable insight enables it to provide placements centred on long-term fit, rather than quick wins. “We set clear, shared objectives,” John explained. “Everyone knows what success looks like, and we make sure expectations are aligned from the start. Our plans are never one-size-fits-all; we design bespoke solutions – whether it’s a recruitment project or a training initiative – ensuring they are fit for purpose and flexible enough to adapt as needs evolve.” This dedication is upheld across the entire recruitment process, ensuring all involved feel supported at every stage. Supreme Search Specialists never pushes candidates into unsuitable roles or presents clients with mismatched talent, focusing on building trust and gaining measurable results. This involvement does not end at placement completion; the agency continues to support candidates and clients, offering guidance, collecting feedback, and adjusting where needed to ensure long-term success. Supreme Search Specialists’ internal culture reflects its unwavering people-first ethos, as Founder John remains hands-on with the agency’s clients and candidates to ensure the team’s standards are lived daily. Each member of the team is treated as part of the “Supreme family”, with regular check-ins and initiatives to support wellbeing and growth, echoing the same care shown to its candidates and clients. Since its inception, Supreme Search Specialists has remained committed to ensuring its team continues to raise the standard for ethical, compassionate recruitment. Its well-earned renown as the “Friendly Recruiter” is globally recognised and respected, with many candidates returning for future placements and referring the agency to colleagues. Reflected in its five-star rating on Google Reviews, Supreme Search Specialists’ dedication to integrity and genuine care for people has earned it the Ethical Recruitment Excellence Award 2025. One candidate wrote: “Excellent service. I was in constant contact with John, who provided me with all necessary information about potential roles that would suit my wants and needs. All of my questions were answered in detail, quickly and efficiently. When setting up interviews and negotiating my terms, John was excellent, providing me with all information very quickly and allowing me to find a job that matches all my current goals. I would highly recommend this service and will use Supreme Search Specialists again in the future.” And another stated: “I had an outstanding experience with Supreme Search Specialists, especially with my recruiter Carly. Within just two weeks of joining, I secured a position with a top accountancy firm. Carly’s approach was refreshing – supportive, non-intrusive, and attentive to my job needs. If ever in need of a recruiter in the future, Supreme Search Specialists will be my first choice. Highly recommended for their efficiency and excellent service!” Contact: John Read Company: Supreme Search Specialists Web Address: www.supremesearchspecialists.com
