FOR US IT'S PERSONAL
Connected Consulting was founded by three recruiters keen to move away from impersonal, corporate, numbers-driven agency service.
Committed to a personal approach to technology recruitment, Connected remains a small, quality and specialist business. Every client and candidate is treated with the attention, respect and service they deserve.
This results in long-lasting relationships and excellent networks. In turn, we can provide market insights and talent acquisition opportunities beyond those achieved with purely standard techniques and tools.

People-focussed
We treat our Clients and Candidates as individuals and aim to really understand what they need so we can help them achieve that. It’s not a numbers game with us.
Quality
Our recruiters have extensive experience in technology recruitment. This allows us to speak your language and deliver exceptional service.

WE ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY
Community
Hospice in The Weald
Hospice in the Weald provides care completely free of charge to terminally ill people, their families and carers in West Kent and Northern East Sussex.
Connected Consulting has its roots in the West Kent community and we were keen to give something back after having set up our business in Hadlow.
Hospice In The Weald is a charity well known to the three Co-Founders of Connected through personal links. Members of their families have both worked for and been cared for by this great charity and have been able to appreciate first hand the wonderful work they do. It was, therefore, a natural and simple decision to support them.
We have now worked with Hospice In The Weald for over ten years. We are proud to support them by giving an annual donation and by raising money for them through both business and personal fundraising events.
For more information about Hospice in the Weald, please visit their website at https://www.hospiceintheweald.org.uk/
Tunbridge Wells Hockey Academy
David and Martin are long-time members of Tunbridge Wells Hockey Club.
Offering their services on a voluntary basis they founded the Junior Academy to give players between the ages of 11-16 weekly training from September to April to support their pathway into adult hockey. Connected also supports this by providing sponsored training wear and an annual graduation ceremony.
We are proud to say that we have coached over 150 juniors to date and have over 50 graduates now playing for the adult section of the club.
DOING OUR BIT
Sustainability
Connected has been focused on sustainability since its inception.
We have always used public transport wherever practicable. We were early adopters of hybrid vehicles and have recently switched our company vehicle fleet to electric vehicles.
We were also very early adopters of Heat Pump technology heating our offices, using heat pumps since 2016
We have just published our first Energy Carbon Report, using science-based metrics.
