⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We’re proud of our 5⭐ rating - not for the number, but for what it represents. It means people felt looked after. That we listened. Delivered. Did what we said we would (and probably a bit more).
How it all began…
On leaving the British Army, Cliff Allum MBE, wanted to create a better way for former service men and women to access second careers after resettlement.
Pimento Connection was created in a bar for friends and colleagues and the business has grown from strength to strength over the last 20 years.
The name PIMENTO first was used in World War 2 in France by Cliff’s close friend and hero, Tony Brooks. A fluent French speaker, Tony joined and operated as a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and, whilst still aged barely 20 years old, was twice parachuted into France to form and command a group of resistance fighters (code-named PIMENTO)
Supporting Veterans & The Environment
Pimento Connection has joined forces with Carma | B-Corp to plant UK native trees for our clients in 2025.
I cant recommend Pimento highly enough. Every time we have worked with them they have always delivered above and beyond that required of them. Their depth of knowledge and application of such, as well as their expertise in the marketplace has always resulted in the perfect match for our company, or a timely and accurate resolution to the issue presented. The Pimento network seems boundless and the answer is always yes.
This year, #ArmedForcesDay was marked in Sunbury-on-Thames by Cliff Allum MBE, our founding Director, with support from @pimentoconnect @combatstress, @pilgrimbanditscharity, Sunbury Conservative Club and so many more - including those who donated financially to the new bench.
We thank you all.
Cliff coordinated the new #buddybench and Saturday`s events at a successful opening ceremony in the Walled Garden which updates the original memorial bench for Major Charles Greene, a RFC/RAF Fighter Pilot in WW1 and CO for Sunbury`s Home Guard in WW2.
It is now a place for #veterans and the wider community to sit, reflect and talk.

They know that being prepared means having the best people, and enough mint choc chip in the freezer to ensure their business thrives.
The same applies to new contracts. Don’t wait until the work lands and your team is stretched, build the capability BEFORE you need it. If new contracts are on the horizon, make sure your team is ready to deliver.

Recruitment right now feels a bit like being a waiter at a restaurant where everyone’s hungry… but the menu keeps changing.
Clients are trying to find the right dish, candidates are looking for the right table, and we’re somewhere in the middle armed with the menu, the specials board and copious amounts of coffee. 😂
And recruitment goes like this sometimes, so its a good job we love what we do.
Get in touch to see why we`ve been in this business for the last 20+ years.

Larger organisations don`t always have the advantage when competing for talent. In fact, many candidates tell us they are actively seeking smaller businesses to work for, and the reasons are surprisingly consistent:
➡️Greater visibility of impact
➡️Faster decision-making
➡️Broader responsibilities
➡️Closer leadership access
➡️More autonomy
➡️Interesting project exposure
The influence these factors have on candidate decisions is sometimes underestimated, and the challenge for companies is communicating this value proposition clearly during the hiring process.
Size and headcount isn`t always the deciding factor, the employee experience often is and this starts at application stage.
What has your experience been as someone who is #hiring and/or #opentowork?
#hellopimento
👉 Some people throw spaghetti at the wall to see if it`s cooked.
👉 Some recruiters do the same with CVs - fire enough at a Hiring Manager and eventually one sticks.
Volume isn’t best-practice recruitment. Precision is.

The work is there.
The demand is there.
But a shortage of cleared technical professionals is slowing delivery, growth and contract award.
Who’s helping you solve it?
