TLB Consulting is a boutique recruitment agency based in Devon. We use the term "agency" loosely, as our approach is quite different from the norm. While we offer all the services you'd expect from a traditional recruitment agency, our focus is firmly on building long-term partnerships, not chasing quick commissions.
We're a small yet perfectly formed team with our founder, Tom Beddow, at the helm. After 15 years in the recruitment industry, working in roles from consultant to operations manager, Tom was ready to step away from corporate life. He wanted to get back to what he loves most - building long-term relationships with local businesses and offering a recruitment service that's personal, flexible, and cost-effective. And so, TLB Consulting was born.
The TLB difference
Our success derives from lasting relationships, not one-off placements. The reason our clients stay with us for the long term and refer others to us is trust. Hard-won, this trust comes from taking the time to get to know our clients and consistently delivering results. We don't shoehorn the wrong candidates into roles for the sake of a fee. We genuinely want your new hires to work out as much as you do.
With Tom's clear intention to deliver exceptional and personal service, you can rest assured that every member of the TLB team shares his values.
Who we support
Based in the heart of Devon, we support South West SME businesses from various industries with their recruitment needs. Our exclusive South West focus is deliberate. Only by being on your doorstep can we truly get to know your business. It also ensures you'll benefit from local expertise. Rooted in the South West business community, we know who's out there and what companies in this region need.
At TLB Consulting, we're not here for a quick win. We're here to support you for the long game. Whatever your recruitment needs, we'll support you with honest advice, deep local knowledge, and a refreshingly human approach to recruitment. If you're seeking a trusted recruitment partner that truly gets your business rather than a traditional recruitment agency, we'd love to talk.
