3x more flexible jobs than the average
Flexible working at the centre of what we do
Here at SF Recruitment our mission is to put people into jobs they love. And we know that autonomy and choice are the biggest drivers of happiness at work. That’s why we have made a public commitment to flexibility in all its forms and why we offer three times as many flexible opportunities as the national average across the jobs market.
Helping people to Flex for Success in their careers
In the modern world of work, flexibility comes in many forms, but fundamentally it is about choice. When employees are more empowered, they are more engaged. And more engaged employees are more successful.
For employers, more flexibility opens the door to a more diverse workforce, to reducing the gender pay gap, to levelling up in more rural areas and of course to stronger talent attraction and retention.
More than 75% of the roles offered by SF come with flexible options, compared with only 26% across the UK jobs market as a whole.

We know the power of flexibility
“Having made flexibility a core component of our business model, we know how powerful it can be in enabling both business and personal success.
Flexibility isn’t just about working hours or the location of your desk – although they are important – for us it’s about having the freedom to make your own decisions and to adapt the way you work; how and when you need to.
It’s been hugely successful for us, boosting engagement and productivity, reducing staff turnover and closing our gender pay gap. The working parents in our business have seen a particular improvement in their overall happiness.
We want to share our positive experience and use our platform to support the businesses and candidates we work with.”
