employability workshops to local schools and colleges, and actively supporting local charities, its impact extends beyond recruitment. It is not only making a diff erence to its candidates and clients but also to communities in Northamptonshire and Peterborough. Alongside its commitment to the community in which it operates,


Impact also believes that a commitment to the highest ethical and legal standards is non-negotiable. As a corporate member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), Impact adheres to the most stringent professional guidelines. T is protects its candidates and, most importantly, provides clients with peace of mind that every placement adheres to best practice. Paul Hooper added: “We position ourselves as a recruitment


agency that is always ready to respond, helping our clients stay ahead in a competitive and fast-paced world. We’ve got a fantastic team who will work to understand your business today but who also have an eye on what might be just around the corner. “T at agility and fl exibility, combined with a focus on building


relationships, streamlining systems to deliver effi ciency, and always ensuring clients get the best person for the job, is what makes us an outstanding recruitment partner, proven over more than 20 years.”


Innovating to improve Impact believes effi ciency should lead to more and better human connection, not less. As part of its reflection, Impact looked at ways to become


more effi cient, from streamlining internal processes to exploring AI integrations. With its candidates and clients at the forefront of every decision, these effi ciencies allowed the team to dedicate more personal attention, both through conversations with candidates or delivering valuable on-site check-ins for clients. Impact is also in the process of improving the experience through


earlier touchpoints, such as its website, to deliver a quality service from start to fi nish.


What Impact does Whilst the agency’s sectors remined the same, Impact has recently diversifi ed its service off erings to align with what it actually delivers. T ese services include temporary recruitment, permanent recruit- ment, on-site management, managed service, fl exible recruitment packages, interim and contract recruitment, and executive search.


T e roles for which it recruits have also expanded, varying from


highly skilled and experienced senior position to lower level roles. With its increased capability, Impact off ers a convenient and end- to-end service underpinned by the Impact Quality Promise. T e promise is a clear commitment to the high standards businesses can expect every time they work with Impact. It’s a way of showing that the fi rm doesn’t just talk about quality, it is lived through every interaction.


Moving forward As a result of the agency’s expanded off erings, enhanced services quality, and renewed market confidence, Impact successfully found work for more than 1,000 people in the second half of 2025. Bringing this momentum into 2026, Impact is ready to help many more people fi nd work and businesses build their teams across Northamptonshire and Peterborough.


Help us to help you Following the announcement of the new statutory National Living Wage (NLW), of £12.71 per hour, an increase of 4.1%, from April 2026, many local companies are facing a period of compulsory compensation restructuring. T is mandatory uplift often creates a ‘pay compression’ challenge,


where salary bands across the organisation need adjusting to maintain fair diff erentials above the minimum standard. In return for completing Impact’s Salary Survey (which typically takes less than 15 minutes), participants will receive a full, complimentary copy of the fi nal, in-depth report.
