About us
Our purpose is to pioneer the 'conscious recruitment' mindset: putting people, planet and progress first. We pledged to give back 3% of sales to charity before we even made a penny.

By all stakeholders, we don’t just mean our customers and shareholders, but also our employees, our suppliers, our community, and the environment. It’s not just what we do that counts, it’s how we think and how we plan our future. Not just for candidates and clients but our own social responsibility. We care about who we place, so aftercare is important to us to ensure people are happy in their role. It’s not a transaction, It’s a relationship. We’re here to change the narrative. ► Conscious...

How to Communicate Your Business’s Contribution to Society The years that we have been working in finance and accounting recruitment have taught us that success is no longer defined solely by financial performance.

Through our collaboration with Ecologi | B Corp™, we've planted 23,570 trees and invested in 30 sustainability projects worldwide. Together, we're tackling the climate crisis and creating a future where people, planet, and progress thrive. One of the projects we're proud to have supported is the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Morocco. This ground-breaking solar project not only generates 750 GWh of clean energy annually – with storage to deliver power even after sunset – but also uplifts the local community by creating 7,000 jobs, providing health services, and supporting education with initiatives like a school minibus to reduce drop-out rates. Great work Ecologi! #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #Sustainability #PlantTrees

When the REC ask you to help them find their next cohort of NEDs 🤩 This isn’t just a search... It’s a chance to connect with inspiring leaders and make a real difference. We're honoured to be working with the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) to find their next Non-Executive Directors (NEDs). The REC has been the voice of the UK recruitment industry for nearly 100 years. They champion ethical standards, drive innovation, and influence policy to shape the world of work. ------- Now, they’re looking for three new NEDs to join their Board in 2025. 💡 Who are we looking for? ✅ Leaders from outside of the recruitment sector with C-suite expertise in Finance, Technology, or HR/people. ✅ Strategic thinkers who can challenge, support, and inspire. ✅ Passionate individuals who believe in “profit with purpose.” ✅ Prior NED, Trustee or Board Advisor experience 📍 These are voluntary roles , 6 days a year (expenses covered), and the impact is huge. You’ll help guide the REC’s five-year strategy, including digital transformation, driving standards, and empowering members. ------- Why this excites us... Great boards transform organisations. We're proud to help the REC find the leaders who will shape their next chapter. If this sounds like you (or someone you know), let’s talk! 📩 DM Leo Hewett, or email him directly at leo@core3.co.uk. Let’s make an impact. --------- Thank you to Neil Carberry, Tricia Wombell, and Michelle Mellor, MREC for this incredible opportunity. #Leadership #NED #NonExecDirector #RecruitmentIndustry #PurposeDriven

In the latest video from our Pathway to Partner series, Guy Armitage-Norton, Audit and Assurance Partner at Milsted Langdon LLP, shares the secret to his success.

It’s a powerful reminder that success is rarely a solo journey—it’s about collaboration, trust, and the relationships that help us grow. #CFO #FinanceProfessionals #Leadership #BCorp #Teamwork
