About NexGen Recruitment
Milton Keynes' trusted recruitment partner, connecting exceptional talent with outstanding employers since 2018.
Our Story
NexGen Recruitment was founded in 2018 in Milton Keynes with a clear mission: to bring a personal, results-driven approach to staffing in a market often dominated by impersonal, volume-led agencies. Our founder, Sarah Johnson, saw an opportunity to do things differently — putting people first and building genuine relationships with both candidates and employers.
From our offices on Silbury Boulevard, we have grown into one of the region's most respected recruitment agencies, specialising in Technology, Finance, Engineering, Healthcare, and Logistics. Our team of sector-specialist consultants brings deep industry knowledge and an extensive network of contacts, enabling us to match the right talent with the right opportunity every time.
Today, we are proud to serve businesses of every size — from ambitious startups to FTSE-listed enterprises — and to have helped thousands of professionals across the UK take the next step in their careers. As Milton Keynes continues to grow as a nationally significant economic hub, NexGen Recruitment remains committed to supporting the people and businesses that drive that growth.
