Platform Recruitment Milestones

Image
2010
Platform Recruitment is founded

Platform was founded out of a small office in North London. We quickly grew our Client base recruiting within the Embedded Software and Electronics markets. 

2011
Growth and office move

The Platform Team started to grow and we moved to a new, bigger office in North London to accommodate the increase in headcount. We increased our service offering to include Mechanical Engineering, SW Test and SW Development.

2015
Even more growth

Building on an already well established Client base, we were able to grow even more and expand our operations to cover the whole of the UK. Our Key Accounts Team was created to offer an additional level of service to our Clients.

2018
Another bigger office

We moved into a new office, double the size, after outgrowing what we previously had. Our Key Accounts Team and specialist 360's Teams were growing and taking on more and more new business. We also had a record year in 2018 financially.

2020
Lockdown

On our way back from a company skiing trip, we were hit with the news of a looming Covid lockdown. We quickly adopted a "Work from Home" strategy, which helped us navigate what was a difficult time for all businesses in the UK.

2022
Record growth and record financial performance

At the start of 2022 we signed a lease on a new office space which would accommodate huge headcount growth. We had a record year for placements made in 2022 meaning it was our best year financially to date. All of this is currently influencing our continued growth and our expansion into new markets.

2024
Expanded into USA and Germany

In 2024, Platform Recruitment expanded its global presence by opening offices in the USA and Germany. As technical recruitment experts, this strategic growth allows us to better serve clients and candidates in key international markets. With a proven track record of sourcing top talent in tech, engineering and life sciences, we’re now equipped to connect businesses all over the world.
