Our vision is to be the go-to recruitment partner that make a real difference, and we’re making headway. 95% of our clients consider us to be trusted advisors to the Public Sector – we’re proud of that.
Here’s what our Clients have to say:
“It has been a great pleasure working with Baltimore and I have been hugely impressed by the process and the outcome. My Consultant has been extremely professional, and responsive and it has been an excellent experience working with them. I have asked candidates about their experience with Baltimore, and they reported an extremely positive experience to echo my own as the client.
My Consultant managed to secure an impressive longlist of candidates, the shortlisting process was helpful, and we ended up with a very competitive process between a number of very strong and capable people, and a successful appointment.
An excellent experience; exceeding expectations – the quality and number of candidates that Baltimore we able to identify was impressive, and a significant improvement compared to previous in house recruitment approaches. The package offered by Baltimore was also excellent value, achieving a bigger impact at lower cost than competitors.”
Service Director - Children and Families Services, Cornwall Council
“My Consultant’s response to my request for a specialist Head of Service was quick and focused. They listened carefully to what was needed and provided a range of suitably qualified and experienced candidates for me to interview. The appointment was smooth, the aftercare thoughtful and the candidate has been a great success, adding real value to our organisation. I’ll certainly reach out to them again in the future.”
Assistant Director, Birmingham Children’s Trust
“Great recruiters that take the time to understand the specific requirements needed for any given role. My Consultant is pragmatic and does what they say they will do. I would always reach out to them if I needed to fill a role.”
Assistant Director of Social Care and Safeguarding, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council
“Baltimore Consulting have supported us by sourcing two exceptional interim professionals this year. Their knowledge, professionalism and customer care ethos have made the whole process of selecting and sourcing candidates pain free from a client perspective. They have also maintained regular contact to confirm that we continue to be satisfied with the support we are getting. They are my “go to” for interim placements for executive social care professionals and I trust their judgment and recommendations implicitly.”
Lead Commissioner for Older People & Physical Disabilities, Staffordshire County Council
“My Consultant, on behalf of Baltimore Consulting, placed great attention to detail when sourcing the candidate for us. It was a difficult role to fill, and whilst there were other candidates, they came back to me to discuss the specification, clarified key elements to ensure as close a match as possible and delivered the strongest candidate who has since been extended.
They have been brilliant. Not only for their attention to detail in the recruitment process but for also maintaining contact in a quality assurance role. They have wanted to ensure that the candidate continues to fulfil the requirements of the role, iron out any potential difficulties and remain in touch. The match was so good that there haven’t been any issues, but it has been reassuring that they have wanted to ensure a robust quality assurance and customer satisfaction process. My Consultant’s style and manner are both professional and also friendly and engaging.
Director and Owner, Pride and Quality Consulting – Adult Social Care
“Baltimore Consulting have become a trusted advisor for, and facilitator of interim contractors across the SEN department. Baltimore Consulting have always provided a first class service, and taken the time to learn and understand the needs of the department and provide the requisite skill sets often in very short timescales. Without their support there would have been a detrimental effect on the delivery of services within the county.”
SEN Lead, Kent County Council

Here’s what our candidates think about us
“What made Baltimore Consulting really stand out, is the attention to detail and extra support they provided throughout the process.
As I was overseas, my Consultant arranged for me to have a phone call with the Director, catering to the time difference and my schedule, before even applying for the role. Discussions with my Consultant helped me to understand how I could be a good fit for the role and I appreciated that they took the time to understand my core values and provide a match with those of the organisation. The team ensured that I had the right information throughout the process; they sent me interview insights and helped me to prepare for the interview. My Consultant was there to check in and remind me of my skills and strength which was a great confidence booster as well.
They helped me step out of my comfort zone; Baltimore gave me the confidence to think about applying somewhere I ordinarily wouldn’t have considered based on distance.”
Head of Service - Children and Families Services, Cornwall Council
“My Consultant is incredibly courteous, efficient and appears to be very dedicated and hardworking; they’ve even contacted me on business matters during their annual leave. They have been an absolute joy to have as my Consultant and must be a huge asset to the team at Baltimore Consulting.
I would like to add that the Finance Operations team have shown exemplary support, efficiency and courtesy. They were incredibly patient with me as I struggled to access the new signing and right to work systems. They really smoothed the frustrating experience of getting the compliance completed, keeping me informed along the way.”
Senior SEN case officer, Devon County Council
“I had heard about Baltimore Consulting from a locum who was working in our educational psychology team at Southampton local authority. She shared that they would likely have further locum roles available and her link at the company was very friendly so would be happy to just chat things through with no pressure.
From the onset, the service I received was excellent. I have not felt any pressure at all, and my Consultant was extremely knowledgeable about the role and helpful with any information I needed to help me start.
My Consultant was approachable and within a week of deciding I would like to join, I had a role and the paperwork was organised and already in motion. I feel any questions are answered and there is always time to discuss through how things are going or any issues if needed.”
Educational Psychologist, Hampshire County Council
“I chose to work with Baltimore Consulting because they had a wide range of job offers.
My Consultant was very supportive throughout the recruitment process. I had regular 1:2:1 catch up meetings to ensure everything was going well in my role. They were stunningly dedicated in harnessing the best from me through my contract period.
If I had to describe Baltimore Consulting in 3 words, it would be: Simply the Best.”
Compliance, Risk and Contract Manager, Birmingham City Council

Project Subject Expert (No Wrong Door Initiation), Surrey County Council
“I have been very impressed with Baltimore’s professionalism and my Consultant’s approachable manner. They are very friendly and definitely go that ‘extra’ mile to resolve any ‘bumps’ in the road and I would be very comfortable to have the team represent me for any future assignments.”
