Why Career Outlook
A small agency, on purpose
Sharon and Jennie founded Career Outlook in 2003 and still run every vacancy themselves. That is the whole proposition: no account handlers, no handovers, no CV sent anywhere without a yes first.
Two owners, no handovers
You deal with Sharon or Jennie directly — the same people who founded the agency in 2003 and who will personally work your vacancy.
Nothing moves without permission
A candidate’s CV is only ever sent to a client with their permission, and only then. It is a small thing that says a lot about how we work.
A shortlist you can actually use
We bring only the most promising candidates to the hiring table. If we cannot find the right fit, we keep looking until we do.
At the end of a phone, 24/7
We are available to discuss CVs and candidates around your day, because we know how little time there is during it.
National job board reach
Every role we take is advertised on the leading national job boards, included in our rates rather than added to them.
Affordable rates, staged billing
Competitive prices with staged billing options, so the cost of a hire does not land in one lump.

Questions
Questions we get asked a lot
More in the full FAQ.
Does it cost a candidate anything to be put forward for a job?
No. If you are looking for work, our recruitment service is free to you — the employer pays the fee when a placement is made. That is also the law in the UK: an employment agency cannot charge you a fee for finding you work.
Our CV support service is separate and optional. It is a paid service for people who want help with their CV, and you never have to use it to be considered for a role.
What kind of jobs do you handle?
We are proud of helping clients and candidates with a broad range of job requirements at all levels. We recruit office-based staff across secretarial and PA roles, FMCG and the food industry, project management, accounts and payroll, sales, marketing and PR, administration, customer service, HR and logistics. See the full list of sectors.
Where do you recruit?
We are based in Chertsey and work with employers across Surrey and the surrounding area, including Addlestone, Weybridge, Woking, Staines-upon-Thames, Egham, Walton-on-Thames and Guildford. All of our roles are advertised on the leading national job boards.
Do you supply temporary and contract staff as well as permanent?
Yes. We supply permanent, part-time and contract staff. Contract cover suits a business project, a longer term requirement, employee leave, or simply needing an extra pair of hands.
How long have you been going?
Career Outlook was founded in 2003 by Sharon Lockie and Jennie Moss, and has been independently owned and run by them ever since. Between them they have recruited from graduate to director level.
