About Arras People

Arras People was established in response to the growing demand for quality, experienced project management resources within many of today's organisations.

Initially focusing purely on supplying programme and project office roles, Arras soon added to its services by providing Programme and Project Management recruitment in response to a growing demand by our clients.

Arras People now provides excellent programme and project management candidates alongside our professional project office support personnel across all industry sectors.

Why Project Management?

All three directors who started the business in 2002 had previously worked as programme managers, project managers and project office managers.

When a once in a lifetime opportunity came along to start their own business, they saw a gap in the market and had experienced firsthand how difficult it was to recruit project management professionals. Arras People was launched as a high quality project management recruitment service

Now in our sixth year of business, Arras People continues to grow and provide quality project management recruitment services, meeting the demands of clients looking for quality project management resources.

Our project management recruitment services are delivered using best practice project management principles

Project Management and Knowledge Based Recruitment

When working with you we like to describe our approach as "knowledge based recruitment" which simply means our consultants have all worked as practitioners within the field of programmes and projects at some point in their careers and are using their first hand knowledge of programme and project management to find the best person for your role. For each new requirement we follow a simple but effective method - based very much on the principles of best practice project management; initiation, planning, selection, delivery and support.

Using our prior project management experience and effective process provides us with numerous benefits and differentiators. We pride ourselves in being able to:

Our approach also gives the following benefits when talking to our candidates:

Our respect for both parties gives us a key differentiator, we do not just broker CV's and as a consequence we have hundreds of project professionals already registered with us and satisfied clients who come back for more.
