Here’s the deal… I know you have seen plenty of these job advertisements before. They were boring, showed you no personality and you most likely didn’t apply for it.


So let me keep this simple and save us both some time. It's not what we do it is WHO WE ARE.


WE LOVEworking with people, the recruitment industry for us has always been about the work itself. The networking, building relationships and sharing genuine human connections. We thoroughly believe that when done right, recruitment helps people discover unique opportunities and lifestyles they never thought possible. We rise to the challenge and support people and families with jobs and their relocation all over the world.


WE BUILDrelationships, internally and externally. We have become friends with both our candidates and clients. Internally, we want to be more than just colleagues but team mates, mentors and a support network. Through business we found friendship which eliminated the absolutely outdated and terrible saying from the psychopaths within the industry “it’s not personal, its business”.

We have become friends with both candidates and clients we have worked with.


WE LIKEpeople being themselves, being authentic, being interested and actually caring about the work they are doing and for the people it’s for. This job isn’t magic really, it just takes someone who is willing to listen, is empathetic, and who wants to work hard. Work hard not just for themselves but for the people and clients they represent, for a company and brand they believe in.


WE WANTto help the world around us. If you didn’t know, Impel Talent focuses on three key areas: Life Sciences, Renewable Energy, and Space & Technology, three sectors that drive or impel the world we live in (as corny as it sounds it's actually the reason we work in those sectors). So while our work is focused on innovative and sustainable sectors, so are our minds when it comes to how we can help. We focus on sharing profit with non-profits/charities, we engage every month with a charity to support a greater cause, and we give everyone one day per month to spend devoted to a cause of their own choice.
