Hiring in Guildford? Your questions answered
Everything Surrey employers ask about working with a local recruitment agency — fees, timelines, sponsorship and sectors.
Talk to a Guildford consultant- We provide Surrey businesses with permanent and contract staffing across healthcare, IT, engineering, construction and hospitality. Services include role scoping and job specification, candidate sourcing and screening, shortlisting, interview coordination, reference and right-to-work checks, offer management and onboarding support — plus full sponsorship handling when you hire from overseas.
- Most local permanent placements are shortlisted within 48 hours and filled in 2–4 weeks. For international sponsored roles the timeline extends to 8–16 weeks to allow for Certificate of Sponsorship issue and visa processing. We agree a clear service-level agreement with every Guildford employer so you always know what to expect.
- Yes. If your business does not yet hold a Home Office Skilled Worker sponsor licence, our consultants guide you through the licence application and then issue Certificates of Sponsorship for your chosen candidates. We handle the Health & Care Worker and Skilled Worker routes end-to-end, including IELTS verification, CoS assignment and visa support.
- Placement fees are contingency-based — you only pay when a candidate you hire starts work. Fees are a percentage of the starting salary and are agreed upfront in writing with no hidden charges. Candidate-facing services (CV advice, IELTS preparation, relocation support) are never charged to applicants, keeping your talent pipeline fair and compliant.

What Surrey employers say about hiring with us
Care providers, engineering firms, healthcare groups and hospitality operators across Guildford and the wider county — in their own words.
We had two senior carer vacancies open for four months. Gobblex shortlisted five candidates within 48 hours and both roles were filled in three weeks — then they walked us through our sponsor licence so we could hire from overseas as well.
Their consultants actually understand the Guildford salary market. Every shortlist came in at a realistic band, so we stopped losing candidates at offer stage. Three engineers placed, all still with us a year later.
The sponsorship side was what sold us. Certificates of Sponsorship, right-to-work checks and relocation were handled end to end, and we got weekly updates without chasing anyone.
We ran a 20-person hospitality campaign with them ahead of the summer. Shift-ready candidates, proper screening, and a single point of contact throughout. Far better than the national agencies we used before.
