History

Founded in 1997 by experienced IT and Telecommunications recruiters, and backed by recruitment veterans, CCL sought to redefine the service levels provided by the recruitment industry. With each of the founders having many years experience of providing global resourcing solutions, and having conducted extensive market research into what clients and candidates sought from a staffing partner, they understood that there were better solutions to be offered than the market had endured.
The CCL Group consists of three main trading teams, each providing expert knowledge in their field, whilst maintaining a cohesive unit with a single point of contact for our clients.

Contract Connections has always focussed on quality over quantity and streamlined the contract resource solutions on offer to three models, Contingency Recruitment, Project Team Provision and Managed Services. Having established a solid central London base, satellite offices were established to cater for specific pieces of work engaged by clients and fully tax liable Irish and Dutch registered businesses were established to cater for clients in the Eurozone.

In 2007, following unprecedented growth in the legal services area, CCL launched a specialist Professional Services Practice, CCL Recruit, focussing on providing permanent staffing solutions to this demanding industry sector. In 2008 a permanent base was established in Birmingham to provide a local solution to the ever growing client base within the Midlands area. Our plans for expansion continue with a partnership in the USA and global Project Team and Managed Service solutions taking our consultants to every corner of the globe; however, we remain firmly grounded and will not lose the attention to detail and quality of relationship that has got us to where we are today.

Since 1999 CCL has provided Managed Service solutions to clients seeking standardisation, fixed price services and guaranteed attendance. Following substantial growth in this sector, including the delivery of global solutions and a Vendor Neutral service, we launched Helix Managed Services (HMS) late in 2009. HMS is a separate entity designed to provide bespoke Recruitment Process Outsourcing options, for more information, click here

We believe our success has been achieved through our attention to detail and by adopting a quality-driven, methodical process that ensures the right candidate is positioned in the right role. This genuine emphasis on partnership has resulted in year on year new business growth coupled with long term client and candidate retention. Our client portfolio includes leading companies and organisations from all industry sectors across a range of both the private and public sector. Take a look at our current Client List.
