Recruitment Agency in Woking

— Woking Employer FAQ

Hiring in Woking, explained

• Do you recruit for employers based in Woking?
  Yes. Woking sits within our core Surrey coverage area — 20 minutes from our Guildford office by road, 8 minutes by train — and our consultants regularly visit employers across GU21, GU22, GU23, GU24 for on-site consultations. We recruit permanent, contract and temporary staff, and can sponsor overseas candidates when a role cannot be filled locally.
• Which roles do you fill most often in Woking?
  Our highest-volume Woking sectors are it & software, advanced engineering & motorsport, healthcare & care homes and related support functions. Woking hosts a dense cluster of corporate headquarters, motorsport and advanced engineering firms, and a fast-growing professional-services base around the town centre. Care homes and hospitality across Knaphill, Horsell and Byfleet hire continuously, and IT teams compete with London salaries only 25 minutes up the line.
• How quickly can you shortlist candidates for a Woking vacancy?
  For local Woking roles we deliver a screened shortlist within 48 hours of agreeing the brief, with most permanent placements completed in two to four weeks. Internationally sponsored hires take 8–16 weeks to allow for the Certificate of Sponsorship and visa processing.
• Can you sponsor overseas workers for a Woking business?
  Yes. We guide Woking Borough employers through the Home Office Skilled Worker sponsor licence application, issue Certificates of Sponsorship, and manage Skilled Worker and Health and Care Worker visa processing end to end — including right-to-work checks and relocation support for the candidate.
• What does it cost to hire through your Woking service?
  Fees are contingency-based: you pay only when a candidate you hire starts work. The fee is an agreed percentage of the starting salary, confirmed in writing before we begin, with no registration or advertising charges. Volume campaigns and retained searches in Woking are quoted individually.

  Our Surrey headquarters is at 54 Shepherds Hill, Guildford, GU2 9RZ — 20 minutes from our Guildford office by road, 8 minutes by train. Woking employers can meet us there or ask a consultant to visit their site. Call +44 7426 924354 or email info@gobblex.co.uk to arrange a free consultation.
