About TEAM

About Us

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.
