PERMANENT | CONTRACT | TEMPORARY RECRUITMENT

Your South West hiring partner

Cathedral Appointments is an independent, B Corp certified recruitment agency based in Exeter. Since 1988 we’ve helped South West businesses find the people who keep them running and growing, on permanent, temporary and contract terms, through one team that knows your market.

We know what it takes to build a strong business, and what you need to build your career.

Helping you hire with confidence

Hiring the right person can feel daunting. That’s where we step in.

We manage the whole process, from the first conversation to your new starter’s first day, working as your partner or alongside your in-house team.

We meet you first, so we understand your business and your culture. Every candidate you meet has had at least two screening interviews with us, and we search our own database of local candidates and the wider market, not just job boards, so you see people who aren’t scanning adverts.

Whether you need a permanent hire, cover from next week or a specialist on contract, you deal with one team, so you can get on with running your business.

The roles that run your business

Whatever your industry, we recruit the people who keep it running.

  • Finance & Accountancy. Bookkeepers to finance directors.
  • Business Support & Operations. Admin, customer service, PAs and operations managers.
  • HR & People. HR advisors to HR directors.
  • IT & Tech. Developers, engineers, IT support and project professionals, through CA Tech Talent.
  • Sales & Marketing. Sales, account management, marketing and creative roles.
  • Engineering, Manufacturing & Logistics. Technical, quality, planning and supply chain roles.
  • Executive & Fractional. Senior and interim appointments.

Senior and fractional appointments

From fractional executives to permanent and interim C-suite hires, we help organisations make the senior appointments that shape their future, with discretion and care.

We work closely with clients and candidates to understand the organisation, the culture and the challenge before we approach anyone.

Whether you need high-impact support on a flexible basis or you’re a professional ready for a pivotal senior role, talk to us in confidence.

Your tech talent partner

CA Tech Talent, our technology recruitment team, helps South West businesses find the developers, engineers, consultants and IT specialists they need.

Technology hiring is competitive, so we search well beyond job boards to reach people with the right skills for where your business is going.

Don't just take our word for it

Fantastic service received by the team at Cathedral Appointments. Extremely personable and so lovely to deal with, they were proactive, professional and reliable. Their input helped me to successfully land a role and return to an industry I'd been away from for a few years. Highly recommend the team at Cathedral.

Suzette K

Candidate | Accountancy and Finance

Cathedral Appointments won a competitive process to recruit Exeter Science Park’s new CEO during which we outlined a challenging schedule. Partnering with Cathedral Appointments for our recent CEO recruitment drive was a fantastic experience. They didn't just run 'their' process, rather they bought into our challenging schedule, took the time to understand our culture and worked closely with us to deliver an innovative marketing and selection campaign. Their management support processes were seamless, professional, and they took the lead in all aspects of the process.

A new CEO was selected on schedule. Cathedral Appointments managed the appointment process and supported the unsuccessful candidates. It was very important to us that all candidates, successful and unsuccessful, thought the process was challenging, proportionate and fair.

I found the team at Cathedral Appointments to be totally professional, and friendly, they couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. They made looking for a new role seamless. I would definitely recommend using Cathedral Appointments for anyone either looking to recruit or seeking employment.

Candidate | Manufacturing

I have used Cathedral Appointments for a number of senior appointments within the Exeter Chamber of Commerce and Devon Chamber of Commerce, including CEO-level appointments for both of these organisations, and have always been highly impressed with the insightful, agile and comprehensive range of candidates that have been provided.

Steve Gales

Devon Chamber of Commerce

We’ve worked with a number of consultants across different divisions over the years and we’ve always found Cathedral Appointment’s service to be very professional and efficient. They understand our requirements and are always excellent in putting a number of different options in front of us from which we’ve made many successful appointments. They have a brilliant understanding of the local market and we would highly recommend them.

Client | Fraser Anti-Static Techniques

Working with Cathedral Appointments on the appointment of Finance Director was a very positive experience. This was a critical hire for Ocean Healthcare. They took the time to really understand what we were looking for, guided us through a clear and professional process, and kept me informed at every step.

The service from Cathedral Appointments was transparent, professional, and collaborative throughout, and we are delighted to have welcomed our new Finance Director to the business. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Cathedral Appointments team for any senior-level recruitment.

Charlotte guided me through the process and always ensured to keep up to date. It was great having someone there that was knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough! It enabled me to successfully secure a new role and I would highly recommend Charlotte and the team's services at Cathedral Appointments.

Oliver S

Candidate | Marketing

We are a small business with only occasional need for additional staff but, having tried using various job sites and advertising, would recommend their service for the time it saves in filtering and meeting candidates. We have used Cathedral Appointments a number of times over the years and been impressed with the time they spend getting to know us and our business and the resultant calibre and “good fit” of the candidates that they subsequently introduce to us.

Tim Bishop

Client | Foresight Financial Planning

Link Asset Services have had a long and successful relationship with Cathedral Appointments. We have been very satisfied with the consistent level of service received and the quality of candidates provided. Their consultants have invested time in getting to know our specialist fund administration and accounting business and to ensure they fully understand our requirements. We feel we are a valued client.
