As a “Hoopie”, you're part of something different. We put people first. Always. We were the first recruitment agency in Wales to become an Employee-Owned Trust, and our benefits reflect that: 

🌍 Hybrid working 
💸 Competitive commission scheme 
🐾 Pawternity leave 
🎂 Birthday leave 
🏝️ Annual trip incentive* 
🥂 Regular team socials  
And most importantly: 

✅ TRUST 
✅ HONESTY 
✅ A CLEAR PROGRESSION PLAN  
Sounds great, yes? 
But how many adverts sell you the dream... and the reality disappoints? 
Let us give you a real example: 
Our Healthcare Business Manager joined us as a trainee recruiter just 6 months after Hoop launched. Through her drive and work ethic — even on the tough days — she's progressed to a senior leadership role. She's trusted to lead, innovate, and grow, and she's built her career with us every step of the way. That's not an exception — it's the culture here. 

We champion our team to succeed, and we learn from each other every day. This is a two-way street — always
