<h2>Specialist recruiters for IT and change in insurance and financial services&nbsp;</h2>
<p>William Alexander Recruitment was founded in 2010 by Will and Alex, shown here. (Do you see what they did there?) They had worked together in another recruitment consultancy and wanted to strike out on their own, believing they could offer a superior service to clients and candidates alike.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br>Employee number one was <a title="Steve Rapetti" href="https://www.william-alexander.com/meet-the-team/steve-rapetti/">Steve Rapetti</a>, who remains our Managing Consultant today having survived a first year sharing a single desk with Will. Many other members of the team have been with us for over twelve years, which gives continuity and expertise to clients. Its also testament to the special culture we&rsquo;ve built over the years.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>William Alexander has one of the industry&rsquo;s tightest networks of IT and change professionals, working in insurance and financial services in the City of London. Last year, we placed over 100 permanent staff and contractors. Our unique access to the specialist skills needed in this regulated sector, together with an ethos of &ldquo;measure twice, build once&rdquo; has seen us placed in Recruiter Magazine&rsquo;s Hot100 nine times.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br>William Alexander is part of Wellcombe Group, together with sister company Stellarmann, a specialist technology and change professional services provider.</p>

<h1>Our Story</h1>

ALEX COLWELL

<h5>"Will and I love seeing client businesses grow and we think great people are always the vital ingredient in achieving success. It's why we work so hard to match our industry's best brains with impressive clients and interesting projects."</h5>

<p>We developed our values by asking the whole William Alexander team how best to describe the culture that already existed in our business. Now we use our values to sense check decisions we make, assess how well new people will fit in and guide our behaviour.</p>

Our ‘measure twice and build once’ ethos ensures we really understand our client needs. Our genuine interest, attention to detail and personal touches elevate the quality of our service above the competition.

Our ethics mean we’re fair, honest and transparent, even if the news isn’t great. We avoid easy answers if they’re not in our and your longer term interests. Promises are kept. Feedback is constructive. BS is not OK.

At William Alexander, collaboration means an environment where there is no such thing as a silly question and everyone shares their time and knowledge generously. We partner with our clients and suppliers to achieve shared goals. We treat everyone with equal respect. We celebrate each other's successes, from a quiet “well done” to an epic party.

Our culture focuses on working hard to get the job done. We are positive and forward-thinking about finding solutions. We operate at a fast pace with high energy and are driven by our passion to deliver.
