When Rachel Scott set up Lemon Drizzle Recruitment in County Durham in 2024, she had the contacts and the know-how from years in construction recruitment. What she didn’t have was a website, a way to post jobs, or a safe way to handle the CVs that would start coming in.
A new agency gets judged fast. Employers want to see you’re established. Candidates want to know their details are in safe hands. So we built a site that looks the part on day one, a custom plugin so Rachel can publish roles and manage applications without calling anyone, and the GDPR side, so candidate data is handled properly under UK GDPR.
We still look after it now: hosting, updates and getting found in search. In Rachel’s words, “Nothing is ever too much trouble.”
That’s the pattern we like. Get the foundations right, take the repetitive jobs off the owner, and stay around afterwards.
