About national skills
bringing the talent
A quick intro
The National Skills Agency is the UK’s leading recruiter whose specialism is the supply of key personnel to the Apprenticeship and commercial training marketplace.
Our expert consultants have access to candidates that are very much under the radar and not visible to other organisations. This exceptional reach is enhanced by our own bespoke database and a recruitment team with over 100,000 sector related LinkedIn connections.
We really do understand our specialist sector and have a strong appreciation of the salary expectations right through to an honest approach to the scarcity of certain skill sets.
You will find that we operate at sensible rates with no retainers and our fees are only due upon success thus minimising your risk and encouraging successful outcomes for everyone.
Please don’t hesitate to talk to the team; we are here to help.

NSA was consummately professional and one of the best Recruitment Agencies I've ever dealt with.
