Retail Recruitment Specialists
C2 Recruitment is a specialist Retail Recruitment and Executive Search agency, recruiting across the UK and internationally. Since 2008, we’ve partnered with national retailers, international brands and growing independents to find exceptional people, from Store Managers and senior Retail leaders through to specialist Head Office talent.
We recruit across Retail Operations, Head Office and Executive Search, including HR & People, Sales & Account Management, Marketing & eCommerce, Finance and Supply Chain, alongside specialist recruitment within Hospitality and Charity.
With genuine Retail expertise, we understand that finding the right person takes more than matching a CV to a job description. Whether you're recruiting a Store Manager, Retail Director, Head Office specialist, Managing Director or CEO, we combine market knowledge, targeted search and honest advice to find people who can make a real difference.
We're not recruiters who happen to recruit into Retail. We're Retail specialists who happen to work in recruitment.
C2 Recruitment specialises in bespoke Retail Executive Search and Management Recruitment solutions across the UK and internationally. We support retailers in appointing exceptional leaders, from Store Managers, Area Managers and Regional Managers through to Head Office specialists, Directors, Managing Directors, CEOs and Board-level appointments. Every assignment is tailored to the individual needs of our client, combining market insight, industry expertise and a consultative approach to identify leaders who will strengthen teams, drive commercial performance and support long-term business growth.
C2 Recruitment have been instrumental in supporting our recruitment across the UK and Europe, particularly for the opening of our new stores. Working to demanding and often very tight timeframes, they have consistently delivered high-quality candidates, ensuring our stores have been fully staffed and ready to open on schedule.
Their partnership approach, responsiveness, and understanding of our business have made them a trusted extension of our recruitment team. We value the quality of service they provide and would highly recommend C2 Recruitment to any organisation looking for a reliable people focused recruitment partner.
C2 Recruitment quickly understood our business, our specialist markets and, importantly, the calibre of people we needed.
Their knowledge of retail is clear. They have the capability to recruit across all levels, from store and operational teams through to management, specialist and senior leadership appointments, giving us access to a much broader talent network through one recruitment partner.
They are fast, straightforward and commercially aware. Rather than simply sending CVs, they focus on introducing the right people and are always prepared to give an honest view of the market.
As Syncera continues to grow and develop within our specialist markets, C2 will certainly be a recruitment partner we work with again.
I would confidently recommend them to any retail business looking for a specialist recruitment partner that understands the sector and can deliver at every level.
At Retail Asset Solutions, we've had the pleasure of partnering with C2 Recruitment for over a decade. Their service is not just reliable but consistently goes above and beyond our expectations. Whether we need Retail Management, Stock Auditors, Store Merchandisers or Warehouse personnel, C2 Recruitment delivers candidates who are not only skilled but also fit seamlessly into our team culture.
We’ve worked with C2 Recruitment since 2019, and the company have become a true extension of our team. What began as support for a key 'Director of Retail' appointment has evolved into a long standing partnership, with C2 successfully placing a number of key roles across the charity.
C2 understands our organisation, our values, and the calibre of individuals we need. C2’s approach is always consultative, thoughtful, and strategic, never transactional. They consistently delivers high quality candidates who not only have the right experience but are also the right cultural fit.
The level of service we receive is outstanding. The team are responsive, proactive, and genuinely care about getting it right. C2’s knowledge of the charity and retail sectors, combined with the ability to identify and attract top talent, makes them an invaluable recruitment partner.
