Our Mission

The Waring Group provides a fresh approach to the job search and recruitment process. We go above and beyond for our clients and wake up each morning with a simple imperative: Empower candidates to be their best and become the catalyst to help them achieve their goals.

Our Story

The world is full of recruitment agencies. Our founder, Leigh Waring, questioned if it truly needed another one, but she knew that the industry required something different. Something more. In many ways, the recruitment model is outdated yet remains such a mystery to jobseekers and those unfamiliar with the process. Candidates are often left feeling burned-out and unimportant in a process that should be about them.

She approached the launch of The Waring Group with the imagination and vision to disrupt an old-school model. She thought about recruitment and candidate care that empowers and highlights the unique potential that we all bring. 

The result? A job search solution for candidates that listens to them and helps them to succeed. A re-engineered recruitment process that helps both busy professionals who don’t have the time to dedicate themselves to job searching as well as those that are struggling to advance forward. We shed light on what happens behind the scenes of an interview process and create confident candidates in the process. 

Leigh has worked as an executive and corporate recruitment leader for top Fortune 250 companies for over 13 years and helped thousands of candidates find jobs that would be rewarding for them. She developed a deep understanding of what separates the great candidates from the good ones and saw many situations where those great candidates lost out on a job because of avoidable missteps.

So, in following her passion to support jobseekers, the idea of The Waring Group was born, with the goal of driving successful job searches for candidates while helping to navigate the noise, stress, and curveballs that arise throughout the process.

We know that potential is in everyone. But to spot talent that’s hidden or undiscovered—and connect them with the right role within the right company —requires looking at the world differently. And seizing that potential requires digging a little deeper. At The Waring Group, we rely on creativity, grit, and confidence. We see a healthy need for industry disruption, and we are steadfast in our desire to go the extra mile.
