From Frustration to Innovation: The Story Behind Attega

Attega is a recruitment partner that provides in-house, one-off, and temporary recruitment solutions for businesses of all sizes and across all industries.

 

Rather than a traditional recruitment agency model, Attega works as an extension of its clients’ teams, understanding their culture, goals and long-term hiring needs.

The Birth of Attega

Attega was founded in 2020 by Mick and Luke Barnes after experiencing frustrations with traditional hiring solutions, as they felt there was inconsistent communication, misaligned culture fits, and a one-size-fits-all approach.

 

They set out to create a solution that would solve their pain points and revolutionise the recruitment industry for others experiencing the same challenges.

The Mission Behind Attega

Attega was created with a simple mission: to make recruitment more transparent, collaborative and effective.

 

By putting relationships before transactions, Attega aims to help businesses build stronger workforces while creating better experiences for candidates.

The Growth of Attega

Since its launch, Attega has grown from a small team into a trusted recruitment partner, with a team of driven recruiters bringing together more than 100 years of combined industry experience. Built on a partnership-led approach, Attega focuses on developing long-term relationships, taking the time to understand each client’s business inside and out, and operating as an extension of their internal hiring team.

 

By combining the benefits of an in-house recruitment function with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of an external partner, Attega delivers scalable, insight-driven recruitment solutions tailored to each client’s needs. Guided by its core values of partnership, excellence, respect, and integrity, Attega is committed to providing an exceptional service, with clear and consistent communication maintained throughout every stage of the recruitment process and for the duration of each contract.

Challenges Along the Way

Like many businesses founded in 2020, Attega launched in an uncertain time.

Building and growing a team during this time required resilience, adaptability and commitment to delivering exceptional service.

Attega focuses on solving traditional recruitment challenges by:

 

  • Developing a deeper understanding of company culture and role requirements.
  • Faster hiring through proactive talent sourcing.
  • Providing scalable recruitment support rather than just filling vacancies.
  • Building long-term partnerships.
