Experience-Led. Partnership-Focused. Service-Driven.
At FUSION, our ethos is simple: recruitment should feel like a service—not a sales pitch
​
We believe in offering an honest, consultative service that empowers you to make informed decisions, shaping your career, team, and future with confidence
​
No bold promises—just a commitment to delivering the professional, personal service we're known for
Who Are We?
FUSION was founded by Gavin McBryde and Scott Hemphill—two long-time recruitment professionals, and friends, who first crossed paths back in 2004 while working at the same internationally recognised, engineering-focused recruitment company.
​
Over the years, they developed their careers side by side, driven by a shared belief that recruitment could be better: more professional, more personal, and more focused on long-term partnerships.
That belief eventually became the foundation and blueprint for FUSION.
FUSION initially launched as an RPO business in 2015, but has since evolved into a traditional recruitment consultancy- but with a renewed understanding of what is needed from a recruitment agency from our experiences as being a client.
​
At FUSION, we take pride in doing things properly. We’re committed to offering a level of service that reflects the standards we always expected ourselves- whether you’re hiring or looking for your next role.
​
You can find both Gavin and Scott on LinkedIn if you'd like to connect or learn more.
Why Us?
Clients
We know firsthand the frustrations businesses face with recruitment—because for ten years, we were clients ourselves. As a former RPO provider, we've worked with businesses of every size, seeing clearly what exceptional recruitment support looks like—and recognising when it falls short.
​
Our approach is driven by insight, not assumption. We don’t recycle old promises or rely on sales tactics. Instead, we offer genuine partnership underpinned by honesty, transparency, and clarity.
​
