Hertfordshire’s thriving industrial, logistics, and technology economy means there’s a growing need for great talent throughout the region across all sectors. With lots of companies based in London now only expecting their team to attend the office two or three days a week, along with the higher salaries offered by such firms, now it can be harder than ever to successfully recruit in Hertfordshire.
