About us
Connections was established in 1985 by sisters Frances Alexander and Marian Dobkin
with the aim of responding to business recruitment needs by providing a highly responsive,
rapid service.
Marian's son, Jonathan Dobkin, joined the company in 1997 from the insurance company
Sedgwicks. Her daughter Michelle Dobkin joined Connections in 1992. Both are now
Directors and play a pivotal role in overseeing Connections' continuing business
success.
Long established and financially secure, Connections is proud to retain its status
as a privately owned, family business adhering to traditional values.
Our philosophy is one of total quality and service. We recognise that people are
the lifeblood of our business, whether they be our clients, our applicants or our
staff. Our professional and confidential staff work in a team environment, each
one working towards matching the best applicant to the right job.
To meet today's market requirements, we tailor a cost effective recruitment service
to suit the precise needs of individual clients. Our flexibility ensures that we
remain leaders in our field. We work to exceed our client expectations, to get it
right the first time every time, in order to recruit staff that will enhance your
organisation's performance.
Our approach is to carry out in-depth interviewing, testing and selection of potential
applicants by professional staff that have an integral understanding of the economic
climate and the market in which they operate. This is coupled with a real satisfaction
gained from placing people in jobs and building careers. We operate with a pool
of candidates from all disciplines that is constantly being updated, thereby ensuring
you the best choice of personnel.

service and our quality are never compromised.
