About Us

Building connections, creating opportunities, transforming careers since 2015.

Our Story

Founded in 2015 by Sarah Mitchell, By The Bridge was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to bridge the gap between exceptional talent and outstanding opportunities in a way that truly benefits both parties.

After spending over 15 years working for large recruitment agencies, Sarah recognized that the industry needed a more personal, thoughtful approach. She envisioned a company that would prioritize quality over quantity, relationships over transactions, and long-term success over quick placements.

Starting from a small office in Central London with just three team members, By The Bridge quickly gained a reputation for excellence. Our commitment to understanding both client needs and candidate aspirations set us apart from traditional recruiters.

Today, we're a thriving team of recruitment specialists, each bringing deep industry expertise and a genuine passion for connecting people with their perfect opportunities. We've grown to serve over 350 companies and have successfully placed more than 2,500 professionals in roles where they truly thrive.

Our name reflects our mission: we are the bridge that connects two shores—talented professionals seeking meaningful careers and organisations looking for the perfect addition to their teams. We take pride in being more than just recruiters; we're career advisors, industry experts, and trusted partners in your success.
