Finding the best people for your business
Recruitment that gets people, and gets results.
At SW Recruitment, we understand the challenges involved in finding the best people for your business. Recruitment is not just about filling a vacancy; it’s about identifying individuals who will contribute positively to your organisation.
A poor hiring decision can cost you valuable time, disrupt productivity, and impact your bottom line. That’s why we specialise in recruitment—so you don’t have to.
Let us help you make the right choice the first time.

About SW Recruitment
Long-Term Partnerships, Not Quick Fixes
We believe strong recruitment is about more than simply matching a candidate to a role. It’s about listening closely to your needs, being honest in our communication, and genuinely caring about the success of your business.
Our approach is grounded in energy, sincerity, and a sense of humour, all aimed at getting it right for you.
Most importantly, as an SW Recruitment client, you will always deal with me personally.

I personally interview every candidate. You’ll receive a summary with salary expectations, notice period, motivations, and availability.

Testimonials
Here’s what some of my clients and candidates have said about working with me, and why they keep coming back.
I first met Sarah Wilson when I applied for a role with UPS Power Solutions in 2019. I felt genuinely supported by Sarah every step of the way. She took the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions.
Sarah’s deep understanding of both the role and the company allowed her to provide me with thoughtful guidance and clarity. Because of this, I entered my first interview with confidence, fully aware of what to expect and what would be required of me.
Her compassionate approach made a significant difference.
Fast forward a few years—it’s now 2025. I am the Operations Manager at UPS Power Solutions, and over the past few years, I have had the privilege of working with Sarah to recruit for positions within our operations team. Experiencing the recruitment process from the client perspective, I have witnessed firsthand Sarah’s dedication and care.
She takes the time to truly understand our needs and the qualities we value in candidates, ensuring she finds the right people not just for the role, but for our team and culture. Her commitment makes the process not only efficient but supportive for everyone involved.
Sam Rasmussen – Operations Manager, UPS Power Solutions
Sarah has a refreshingly personable, down-to-earth, honest and detail-focused approach to the recruitment process. Most importantly, she has your professional interests at heart and is someone you can trust.
Sarah recruited me into my current roIe, and I found her to be very diligent and understanding of her client’s (and my) needs and expectations. She maintained consistently clear communication throughout the process and post-placement keeps in regular contact.
It was a pleasure working with Sarah as a candidate and now I am a client – Sarah is our recruiter of choice and can be relied on to consistently deliver high calibre candidates. I couldn’t recommend Sarah’s services highly enough.
