About us.
Honest recruitment. Real results. Zero Waffle.
We’re not your typical agency. Our team have worked directly in the industries we now recruit for, so we understand the technical detail, the culture, and the pressure. We know what makes a good hire and how much a bad one can cost.
Here’s what makes us different:
We’ve worked in the sectors we recruit for. That means we understand the roles, the challenges, and the kind of people you need.
We take time to understand what you actually need. That means better matches and no wasted time.
Everyone wants to know that their investment is secure, whilst GPS offer a healthy rebate for candidates who may leave. GPS's actual rebate is less than 2% in the past 18 months. Telling you that we always find the right candidates for our clients' needs.
Our retained service gives you a dedicated recruiter working on your roles and nothing else.
Whether you need one person or twenty, we’ll build a solution that fits your business.
Our Story
After more than 20 years in recruitment and over a decade managing manufacturing teams, Steve Galloway launched GPS in search of a better work-life balance and a better way of doing recruitment. What started as a solo mission soon grew into a trusted team with a reputation for honesty, reliability, and results.
Backed by years of industry knowledge and supported by long-term client partnerships, GPS has expanded to cover two key office locations – Pontefract and Huddersfield – while recruiting UK-wide and even further afield in Europe (including Italy and Germany).

Client Advocacy
At GPS Recruitment, we put our candidates first — without them, we don’t have a business. We always mean what we say, and if we didn’t mean it, we wouldn’t say it. Unlike many agencies, we don’t claim to do it all. We focus on what we’re good at: engineering, manufacturing and senior hires. That makes us specialists, not generalists. We value partnerships with people who care about long-term relationships, not quick wins. Most of all, we genuinely care about who we work with and always strive to make a difference.
