Our use of agencies

At Hastings Direct we try to fill our vacancies without the help of agencies or partners. On the rare occasion that we can't fill a role ourselves, we'll only use agencies that we trust and that are on our preferred supplier list. Only agencies on our list can provide us with CVs requested by our in-house recruitment team. Consequently, we aren’t in a position to accept any speculative CVs from agencies who aren’t on our list.
