At Talent Forte, our management team have over 40 years of combined experience within the temporary, contract and permanent recruitment market. Our mission is to provide a first-class, honest and consultative recruitment service.
We believe that by keeping customer experience as our main priority for both clients and candidates, this will form the foundation of many long-term relationships.

Our straightforward honest approach is a key factor in us being key suppliers to several FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 organisations, as well as many other small and medium-sized businesses. As specialist recruiters, it is our aim to provide a quality of service that is often lost when dealing with some of the bigger agencies. We achieve this by listening, learning, consulting, and delivering.

We are specialists in:

  • Strategy, Change & Transformation
  • Accounting & Finance
  • HR & Talent
  • Technology
  • Procurement & Supply Chain
  • Legal
  • Marketing, Insights & Digital
  • Civil Engineering

The majority of our clients are looking to place candidates in mid-to-senior level positions, but we can help source talent at all levels.

We work with some of the largest global brands and act as the mediator to match talent that will help drive innovation and growth within business.

The Story So Far

Talent Forte was founded in 2017 by Founding Partners Sunny & Rachel Bakshi. Before setting up this business, Sunny established himself as a highly successful Business Development Manager within one of the UK’s leading temporary recruitment consultancies. Starting as a Graduate and working up to Director, Sunny along with Rachel decided to set up their own consultancy based on their belief that the heart of a successful recruitment consultancy stems from looking after your own staff and enabling your staff to feel part of the business. In turn, our staff will then provide the customer experience our clients and candidates expect.

Further growth and success enabled Talent Forte to appoint Damian Coull as Managing Director in spring 2019. Damian joined the business with 16 years recruitment experience gained across 2 leading recruitment consultancies, and he also spent more than a decade of that time working with Sunny and Rachel, and his vision is aligned with that of Sunny and Rachel for the future of Talent Forte.

Talent Forte currently has offices based in the Thames Valley, and as we are experiencing rapid growth in all our markets, we are expecting further expansion soon.

Our core values are to

Listen

One of the key credentials of being a good recruiter is to simply listen to both candidates and clients. Many recruiters fail to listen to both parties and instead have their own agenda. Listening is the only way that we can successfully understand your needs.

Learn

We don’t assume we know it all, we are willing to learn by listening to what you need. We recruit for markets that are constantly evolving. Our mission is to work with and learn from the experts in the market. Together we can achieve our goals. We are always open to hearing feedback on how our consultants have performed.

Consult

We are experts in the job market and consult with you regarding your needs and advise how best to achieve your goals. Unrealistic requirements occur for a variety of reasons due to market conditions or supply and demand. It is in our interest to advise and so we will always do so; we don’t want to waste anybody’s time.

Deliver

At the end of the day this is what all parties want. We will save you time by listening, learning, consulting and delivering. We are building a successful, rewarding business by listening to both our candidates and clients.
