Our Journey
TEAM was founded in 1994, at a time when recruitment agencies worked in isolation and rarely shared opportunities.
Our founders set out to change that by creating a collaborative network where independent recruiters could support each other and grow together.
While it began with sharing jobs and candidates for split fees through TEAM Xchange, it has grown into something much bigger. A community where Members exchange knowledge, encourage one another and work together to help independent agencies succeed.
Simon Bliss
Simon Bliss is Chairman of TEAM, bringing decades of recruitment experience and a career that reflects the value of the network.
Originally a TEAM Member, he grew his own agency from a team of two to more than forty employees. His leadership is grounded in firsthand experience, giving him a genuine understanding of the challenges independent recruiters face.
In 2020, Simon acquired TEAM to give back to the organisation that supported his own growth.
His focus is on strengthening a collaborative community where independent agencies can support each other and succeed in a changing recruitment market.
Andy Dunne
Andy Dunne became Managing Director of TEAM in 2023, after more than seven years as a member while running his own solo recruitment business.
His hands on experience gives him a clear understanding of the day-to-day realities independent agencies face.
Andy is focused on improving Member support and strengthening collaboration across the network, ensuring agencies have the resources and guidance they need to adapt and succeed in a changing market.
Together, Simon and Andy embody the ethos of TEAM - a testament to the strength and success that comes from true collaboration and mutual support. Under their leadership, TEAM continues to pave the way for excellence in the recruitment industry, ensuring our members have the tools and support to succeed in an ever-changing global market.
