Recruitment Agency Serving Derby
Connecting Derby employers and candidates through a personal approach.
Independent recruitment specialists, established in 1998.
Your experience. Your ambitions. Our starting point.
Recruitment works best when everyone understands what they’re looking for.
For employers, that means thinking beyond a job title to the responsibilities, working environment and experience a new colleague will need. For candidates, it means having space to explain what you want from your next move.
At Harvey Beric Associates, those conversations guide our approach. Based in Hilton, we help businesses and jobseekers across Derby with temporary and permanent recruitment, taking time to understand the people behind each appointment.


Commercial and technical recruitment in Derby
An engineering business needs more than engineers. A busy office relies on more than administrative support.
Accounts, purchasing, customer service and technical teams all contribute to how a business operates. We recruit across these connected disciplines, helping employers find people for individual vacancies and different departments.
Our recruitment expertise covers:
For technical appointments, we’ll discuss the relevant processes, systems and qualifications. For commercial roles, we’ll explore the responsibilities, customer contact and level of ownership involved.
If a position calls for an unusual combination of skills, our specialist recruitment support provides a more focused starting point.
A clearer brief makes for a better search
When you’re recruiting in Derby, being specific about the opportunity helps candidates understand why it could suit them.
We’ll work through the role with you, separating essential experience from skills that could be developed. We’ll also discuss salary, reporting lines, working arrangements and what you expect the successful person to achieve.
Whether you need temporary cover or a permanent appointment, we can support vacancy advertising, screening, shortlisting and interview arrangements.
You may want us to manage the assignment or help with particular stages. Our flexible recruitment support allows us to discuss an approach around the help your business needs.


What would make your next job a better fit?
More responsibility? A different working environment? The chance to put an overlooked skill to use?
If you’re looking for work in Derby, we’ll start with what matters to you. Your previous job titles are useful, but they don’t always explain everything you can offer.
Tell us about the systems you’ve used, the problems you’ve helped solve and the tasks you enjoy. We’ll consider that experience alongside your preferred salary, hours and availability.
Our vacancies page includes opportunities across all the areas we serve. Browse the full list, or contact us to explain that you’re interested in roles in Derby.
You can register your interest even when there isn’t a suitable listing. With your permission, we can keep your details for relevant future opportunities.
Looking across Derby? Location still matters.
A city-centre role and a position on the outskirts can mean very different working days.
Whether your search includes central Derby, Pride Park, Ascot Drive or other parts of the city, tell us which locations you can realistically reach. We’ll discuss the actual workplace and any confirmed on-site or hybrid arrangements when considering a vacancy.
For employers, clear information about parking, public transport access and start times helps candidates assess the practical fit before interview.
If you’re also considering opportunities towards Hilton and Burton upon Trent, let us know how far you’d like your search to extend.

Recruitment with a conversation behind it
An application or shortlist should be the beginning of a discussion.
