Just For My Horse Recruitment places permanent hires for the allied equine industry: retail, feed, saddlery, transport, insurance, riding-school businesses, events, media, welfare and equine sales. One consultant runs each brief, every credential is checked before a shortlist goes out, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
We built the firm around what allied equine businesses were missing from mainstream recruitment: consultants who already know the trade, credentials checked with the trade bodies themselves (BETA, SMS, RSA, BE/BS/BD), and one accountable consultant on every brief from intake through onboarding follow-up.
Our consultants recruit inside the equine industry vertical they serve, so the intake call goes on the role and the team you want to build.
BETA membership, SMS saddlery qualifications, RSA/BHS-recognised riding-school experience, specialist equine insurance sector time (KBIS/SEIB), event-team experience with BE, BS or BD. All checked before an introduction.
You see three to five candidates, ranked and credential-checked, with package and notice period confirmed and our written notes on each.
The consultant who took the brief runs the search, closes the offer and calls at day thirty and day ninety. You deal with one named person throughout.
If the package is under the equine industry market for the role and the region, we say so on the first call. Raising it then saves a search that would otherwise stall around week four.
Every permanent placement carries a written guarantee. If the hire leaves inside the window for reasons that trace back to the search, we re-run the search at no additional fee.
Role, package, timeline, must-haves agreed in one call. Written brief returned within 24 hours for your sign-off.
Active network across the equine industry plus discreet approach to passive candidates. Client identity withheld until you release it.
Three to five candidates, credential-checked, notice-period confirmed, our written notes on each, ranked with reasons.
Interview coordination, offer structuring, counter-offer support, onboarding follow-up at day 30 and day 90.
