What makes us tick?
Recruitment with Purpose
At i2i Recruitment, we believe that successful recruitment is about more than filling vacancies. It’s about creating opportunities, supporting businesses, empowering individuals and making a positive contribution to the communities we serve.
As we celebrate more than 20 years as a leading recruitment agency in Gloucestershire, our B Corp certification reflects a commitment that has always been part of who we are. We’re proud to be part of a global movement of businesses using their success to create meaningful social and environmental impact.
Being a Certified B Corporation means holding ourselves to high standards of accountability, transparency and responsible business practices. It demonstrates our commitment to putting people first, building trusted partnerships and ensuring that the impact we make extends far beyond recruitment.
What Does Being a B Corp Mean?
B Corp certification recognises businesses that balance purpose and profit. It assesses how organisations create value for their employees, clients, suppliers, communities and the environment.
For i2i Recruitment, being a B Corp means continually challenging ourselves to do better. It means operating transparently, supporting local initiatives, investing in future talent and taking responsibility for our environmental footprint.
It’s not simply a certification. It’s a commitment to continuous improvement and ensuring our business contributes positively to the people and places around us.

Outstanding. Personalised. Highly recommended: i2i. They have been restless/tireless in helping me find a better job, more aligned with my studies and preferences. Is more than just a recruitment site. Is a people’s success focus: guiding you all the way through the process of increasing the chances of employment. Not enough words to describe how efficient i2i is and how grateful I am.
