Rafferty Resourcing | Our Story – People-Focused Recruitment with Heart

Our Story

Rafferty Resourcing was founded with a rebellious spirit and only one objective: to change the perception of Recruitment Agencies by putting candidates first. We believe in doing the right thing every time, ensuring that everyone who interacts with us enjoys a first class experience.

Jodie is the heart and soul behind our company. She's the only recruiter in the UK recognised THREE times with the Best Candidate Experience award by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Jodie's journey began in Pilley, The New Forest, far from the recruitment industry, growing up in a family of born and bred foresters, while Martyn hails from Stanley in Co Durham. Their paths crossed at Brockenhurst College, and in 2004, they moved to Co Durham where Jodie embarked on her recruitment career. Together, they have built a loving family with their four children: Charlie, Amelia, Freya, and Francine. In 2013, the family made Waterlooville their home, and it was here that Rafferty Resourcing was born.

As a hardworking family, the Raffertys know the value of dedication and perseverance. These values are woven into the fabric of our company, ensuring that we always strive to provide the best for our candidates and clients alike.

The Rafferty's

Jodie

Founder & Recruitment Specialist

Introducing Jodie – she’s not your typical recruiter. After years of trying to fit in with the urban scene, she traded her suit and heels for a wax jacket and wellies, reconnecting with her roots. When she's not at the office, you can catch her attempting (and failing) to train her dogs or running around after the four children.

Martyn AKA Raff

Operations

Hailing from the North East, Martyn is a die-hard Sunderland supporter. He assists with the day-to-day operations at Rafferty and also runs a successful fishing coaching business. When he's not busy with work, you'll find him on the edge of his seat, engrossed in the match, or casting a line for the biggest carp around.

Amelia

Recruitment Coordinator

Our Amelia, she's a real gem. She keeps everything running like clockwork in our office and makes sure all our candidates are in the know. And get this - she's doing all this while studying Medicine at Swansea University. As if that's not enough, she's also the lead singer and bass player in her band in her 'spare' time. Talk about a multitasker!

Francine AKA Franny

Trainee Recruiter

Let us tell you about Francine! She's always got a smile on her face and loves nothing more than playing the role of a recruiter. And don't let her small size fool you - she's our little renegade! Honestly, she's just downright endearing and everyone loves having her around.

The Sausages

Our fabulous four from left to right; Louis, Rosa, Dolly and Benny Boy. Don't be fooled by the photo! These four are the ultimate office rascals, the loudest in the room and always causing a scene (much like their owners).
