QiStaff launches executive search division

An established recruitment firm has launched a dedicated executive search division, made a new appointment and set out plans for regional expansion as demand continues to grow across North Wales and the North West.

Rhyl-based QiStaff has unveiled its new executive search division, led by a five-strong senior team with more than 100 years of combined recruitment experience. 

The division will focus on senior appointments with salaries of £35,000 and above, particularly across manufacturing, engineering and industrial sectors, alongside a broader range of professional roles.

The launch builds on QiStaff’s long-standing reputation as a specialist recruiter within manufacturing and industry, while supporting its move into executive-level markets.

As part of its expansion, the firm has appointed Ceri Cadwaladr as recruitment executive. 

Ceri brings more than 15 years’ experience, having worked across Chester and London recruiting for major organisations in transport and logistics, production and manufacturing, IT, commerce, charities and retail.

Originally from Rhyl and now based in Prestatyn, Ceri said the role represents an exciting return to her hometown.

She said: “It is a tough time for the economy but there are still so many opportunities out there.

“Here in Wales and across the UK, demand remains high, especially with so much work now being done online. 

“That said, QiStaff has always been known for the personal touch, and that’s helped the team navigate the challenges of recent years. I am so happy to be part of the company.

“As a people person, even in today’s digital world you can still find that balance, deliver a first-class service, and build strong relationships. 

“And for me it’s wonderful to be back home working where I grew up.”

Director Evette Easton added: “Ceri is an incredible addition to QiStaff. 

“Her background, knowledge and track record with high-profile clients make her a pivotal member of the team as we take this next step.

“We have continued to support long-standing clients while attracting new ones, especially for senior and specialist roles, so creating a dedicated executive search division is a natural progression.”

Approaching its 15th year in business, QiStaff says it is continuing to invest in people and services, with further regional growth planned as it expands its reach across Wales, the North West and beyond.

QiStaff director Julie Lloyd added: “We’ve seen particularly strong demand in the North West, and we are continuing to broaden our reach.

“As a bilingual Welsh and English team, we can support clients who need Welsh-speaking candidates and provide interviews and assessments in both languages, which is increasingly important.

“We don’t operate traditional recruitment models. 

“Instead, we collaborate closely with clients to deliver a flexible, tailored and cost-effective service.”
