2. WHO ARE SW6?
SW6 Associates are the UK’s leading Recruitment to Recruitment
and Sales Recruitment Specialists.
Beginning our journey in an attic in 2003, we’ve built a brand based
on ambition, integrity, loyalty and a strong desire shared by everyone
within the business to be the best at what we do. We want to change
the face of the Recruitment to Recruitment and Sales Recruitment
Industry.
Putting relationships and quality at the forefront of our methodology has enabled us
to build a client base of over 100 of the World’s Leading Recruitment Agencies and
Media Owners. Our clients trust us to get them the results they need, many of them
using our services exclusively and paying retainers for us to fill their roles.
“ONLY THE AMBITIOUS”
Our ambition is to become the No.1 choice for our candidates and clients globally.
We’ve laid out the foundations with a leadership team whose experience in the
industry spans over 50 years. We are now looking to build on our foundations by hiring
people, who like us, have their sights set on the end goal - being the best.

become the mighty team we are today.

Created 4 successful and growing Teams - grown 100%
organically by consultants who have progressed from fresh
Graduates to Recruitment Managers.

DONE
2013 - 2016
Continue growing a great brand with great people. Our brand isn’t
just the colour of our logo - it’s the people we have in our business
and the shared values we uphold. We are looking for “people who
love people” and can demonstrate the same passion as us to be the
best at what they do.
We have ambitious and exciting plans for where our company is
headed, but so do our clients so we need to double in size (at least)
to support them in their own ambitious growth plans.
Create at least 3 more successful teams and sub teams. We have
the opportunity for new entrants into the business to develop their
own areas. The Recruitment and Sales Industries are experiencing
massive growth and to keep on top of this we need to build new
teams and have great people leading them.
Promote every single employee at least once, preferably twice.
We pride ourselves on the trajectory we are able to offer our
consultants, and long may the promotions continue!
Open two more offices. 1 UK based, 1 International. To do this we
need people in them!

6. EARNING POTENTIAL
Consultants at SW6 Associates are proud to be part of a high earning environment.
76% of our consultants bill above £180k during their second year, with a few exceeding this by
a large margin.
At SW6 Associates we give our consultants up to 35% of their billings - this means if you bill
£200k at SW6 Associates you will earn in excess of £60,000 per annum. That’s an average
paycheck of £5,000 each month!
If you bill £300k at SW6 Associates you can earn in excess of £80,000 per annum, which is an
average of just over £6,500 on your paycheck each month!
We know this is possible because we can see our consultants doing it (and more) right now!

7. TRAINING &
DEVELOPMENT
We have developed all our teams 100% organically. Every person
in the business started in the same position - as a resourcer - and
has been promoted through the ranks.
You will start your career with SW6 Associates in a training
course, delivered by industry experts. During this course you will
learn the core skills needed to become a great consultant.
Following this course we will continue to develop your skillset
with one on one support from top performers in the business
and members of the management teams- all of whom have
undertaken a management programme designed to make sure
they are able to help YOU reach your full potential as an SW6
consultant.
Sometime you earn,
Sometimes you learn,
At SW6 Associates you will do both.

8. At SW6 Associates we believe hard work
should be celebrated and rewarded, so we
have created an incentive scheme like no other
to get you inspired.
We’ve made sure every deal counts, alongside
our industry leading commission structure
(we’ve seen everyone else’s, we know ours
is good)! You will also be entered into a prize
draw from your very first deal each month. The
more deals you do the more chance you have
of winning!
We don’t believe in doing things by halves so
we also run targets for all our consultants to go
on all expenses paid holidays – most recently
we’ve been stayed in 5* hotels in Ibiza and
Marbella.
Other benefits of working at SW6 Associates
include:
• An excellent company reputation within
the Recruitment Industry.
• A clear map for career progression so you
know exactly what you need to do to get to
where you need to be.
• Lunch Club Targets for a fun filled after-
noon out of the office on us.
• Fizzy Fridays – because after a tough week,
working hard, everyone deserves a beer
and to ease into the weekend.
• Discounted Gym Membership.
• Cycle to Work scheme.
• Directors have relatively good chat.
• Team snacks.

&INCENTIVES

9. INSIDE SCOOP : BEN WATSON
I graduated from Cardiff University in 2003
with a degree in Business Economics and
aspirations to go into banking.
I fell into the world of Rec2Rec completely
by chance and joined Jason Leggatt at PAB
Associates in the first week with the view to
work for 6 months, save some money and
then go travelling. Thirteen years later, I am
still here.
The reality was it went better than I could
have hoped, I earned very good money very
quickly and decided going travelling again
would set me back too far. If I am honest, I
was also enjoying the life and the freedom
that earning good money allowed. Alongside
Jason, I created the business from nothing
and starting building a team focusing mainly
on trainee recruitment hires.
In January 2006 I was given the opportunity
to set up my own solo brand and gain equity
ownership which was named SRS consulting.
I grew this to 6 people pretty quickly and it
was the most profitable part of the business.
We made the strategic decision during the
FOUNDINGPARTNER
to take autonomy in their workload and has
a competitive edge that really gets the best
out of staff. It is certainly not the easiest job/
industry you can go into but it can be highly
rewarding, challenging and entrepreneurial
if you are willing to work hard and have the
natural characteristics which make someone
good at sales.
The future is certainly going to be a very bright
one for SW6. There is no one firm to date
which has really dominated the R2R market
on a global basis and this is certainly our aim
so we have got some very big and ambitious
plans, making it a very exciting and lucrative
time to join SW6.
recession to consolidate and bring the brand
under one roof, and we rebranded to SW6
Associates of which I am now an equity owner.
In March 2013 I set up the senior
appointments team to diversify and
strengthen our brand name and create a
division that would be more resilient to the
economic climate. We are now regarded
as one of the leading and largest R2R’s in
the country; we have a very strong brand
name and place people globally from trainee
through to board level within both
contingency and executive search businesses.
We partner some of the leading brands, and
are often used in an advisory capacity. We
have been involved in building some of the
leading teams and boards of top recruitment
businesses.
SW6 Associates has allowed me the
freedom to really grow with the business.
It is an extremely supportive environment
where culture is key but it still has the sales
element and commercial attributes any good
recruitment business should have. It rewards
staff extremely well, empowers everyone

10. INSIDE SCOOP : MICHELLE RYAN
DIRECTOR
would set me another and I thrived in this
environment. Within 18 months, I hit my
Management Target and was due to start
building my own team in August 2008 when
Lehman Brothers collapsed. Needless to say,
things got a lot more challenging and business
became more about survival than growth for a
few years. However, for me there wasn’t a
Plan B, even through the downturn I didn’t
look at the “easier” option of leaving
recruitment. I am incredibly stubborn and
refused to give up on the SW6 dream so we
focused on retaining our market share,
changing strategies and positioning ourselves
well for when the market improved. It was
incredibly challenging but we were resilient,
never gave up and came out the other side a
much, much better company.
From day 1 at SW6 I have constantly been
it, I was out interviewing with some amazing
recruitment companies across London,
getting lost constantly (pre iPhone days!) but
loving every second of the process.
Looking back now, I was so raw and green, I
often wonder how I managed to get any
offers but luckily I did; a couple of offers from
some amazing FTSE 250 companies and also
SW6 Associates.
My decision to join SW6 was very much lead
by instinct. At the time, SW6 were 3 years
old, 5 people strong, had no website, no
database, based in Fulham in terrible offices
but I absolutely loved the people and felt the
environment would best suit me. They had
plans to grow and I wanted to be part of this. I
have not regretted this decision since.
Two of the things I think have led to my
success so far are a lot of hard work and
resilience. It has been a really worthwhile
journey, but not an easy one. I experienced
some very early success and was the Top
Billing Rookie in my first year with the
business. Every time I hit a target they
I grew up in a big family in rural Ireland where
my family owned one of the small village pubs
so I developed a very strong work ethic from
an early age. I was always very sociable, loved
working with people and also the
independence that came from working from
age 13.
I completed a degree in Law and French at the
University of Limerick whilst spending each
summer working and travelling in the USA.
Whilst in New York, I worked 12hour days as a
waitress and bartender and learned the true
value of customer service. We didn’t get paid
an hourly wage, so everything was tip
dependent so we would aim for a 20% tip and
would always up-sell. The higher the bill, the
better the service, the higher your earnings. It
was my first experience of any role
resembling sales and is a big reason why I
ended up working in Recruitment. After
graduation I moved to London on a total
whim with a €7 one way Ryanair flight, a couch
to sleep on in Kent and not much else.
I applied to one of SW6’s adverts for a Trainee
Recruitment Role and before I knew

11. people such as Michael and Patrick join us as
trainees, work their way up through the
company to head up their own divisions. They
now spearhead Management meetings and
present their ideas to us. We are as open to
hearing these and growing and adapting as
we always have been and this will never
change.
SW6 are growing. We have always had
aspirations to open further offices and our
only limitation was not having the right
people to drive this forward;- we now do. As
an organically grown organization, we never
wanted to hire Senior people to do this for us,
instead preferring to grow our own.
We now have the right key players that we
have taken from calling their first candidate
CV to setting up new business areas for us.
You are only as good as the people in your
business. All the best-laid plans come to
nothing if you don’t have the right people to
execute them!
SW6 has been on a huge journey since I
joined in 2006. SW6 was only 3 years old
when I joined so, fortunately, I have been
involved in everything from the website,
the re-brand, marketing, training new
starters, relocation to new offices...
I was never solely “just a recruitment
consultant”, I got to be involved in the
whole business from a very young age. At
just 23 I had the opportunity to sit in
meetings with the Directors and they took
time to listen and then implement any good
ideas. I was empowered to be part of our
growth from the day I started.
As a business we had a “re-birth” in January
2013 when we re-branded, moved to The
City, added new team members and have
grown year on year since then. I am hugely
fortunate in that I have personally hired
every starter in the business since 2013 this
means I am surrounded by people that I
believe in. Because of this, I will work as
hard for them as they do for me. I have seen
challenged and set goals. I was asked in my
interview in 2006 what I wanted to gain from
joining SW6 and I said with a hopeful smile
that I wanted to be their first female Director.
From that moment, every target that was set
for me was set with a view to me being able to
achieve this. I was actively encouraged to
“think big” and then supported until the goal
was achieved.
I have never been micromanaged and
was allowed to develop my own style in a
completely autonomous but supportive
environment. When I joined SW6, the
Directors always encouraged me to embrace
the things that made me unique;- I continue
to do this with my team now.
We have lots of communication styles
and personalities here and as long as the
fundamental values are there across the
board we encourage people to be themselves
and add their own flair.

12. INSIDE SCOOP : MICHAEL DELEA
MANAGINGCONSULTANT,LONDON
I’m originally from Liverpool and having
turned down a place in various universities to
study law, I went on to study Media at Leeds
University. I did this with a view to getting
into the television industry as a presenter - I
thought I was going to be the next one man,
scouse version of Ant and Dec. Following
university, I came back to reality with a bump
and was working back home in Liverpool in a
pretty well paid, but horribly boring financial
contractor role for Lloyds Banking Group.
Two years in this role was more than enough
and I knew I needed to do something else...
Despite meeting and being offered roles
with a few different companies, I joined SW6
Associates in April 2014 due to a gut feeling;
a gut feeling about my ability to do the job
from my first conversation with one of the
consultants here, and then again about the
company culture when I first walked into the
office to meet with the Directors. My gut
was right on both counts!
It’s hard for me to put my finger on why I
have been able to progress so quickly and to
consistently hold a top position within the
company (you should probably ask the
Directors)! However, I know that; I am
quickly able to gauge and build a rapport with
every type of candidate and client, I do not
take myself too seriously which allows me to
move on quickly from either successes or
failures - this definitely helps in this industry,
I have a little bit (some might say a lot) of ego
which pushes me to have to/want to do well
and I always go the extra mile for a client or a
candidate if the situation needs me to.
Finally, I’m generally a positive and social
person which means the day-to-day of the
job (most notably talking to people on the
phone all day) doesn’t really faze me. In fact I
actually enjoy it (most of the time)!
SW6 Associates has helped me get to a
management position in under 2 years - and
earn really good money in the process by
taking time to understand the way I work.
The bosses made a real effort from day 1 to
understand my personality and work with it
The Job Crowd rated us #1 Top Recruitment Company to
work for in the UK and #2 Top Company to work for in the
UK across all industries.
to get the best out of me – they also gave me
enough autonomy to get on with things while
supporting me with the bits of the job which
didn’t come as naturally to me – the admin
being the main one! It’s good to be speaking
to people all day about a brand with such a
positive presence in the market and allows
me to be confident and assured in selling the
experience a client or candidate will receive
from me as a consultant and us as a business.
Finally, the fact the people here are all great
but also want to give each other a run for their
money makes the job a pleasure but also a
challenge each day.
