About Chameleon Personnel Services
Chameleon Personnel Services - Established January 2004.
We are a Recruitment Business dealing with Accountancy & Finance and Administrative Appointments. The bulk of our business is conducted in Herts, Beds, Bucks and North and Central London, but for some National and International clients who have specific roles, we also assist with their specialist recruitment needs in other parts of the UK and indeed worldwide. Our Consultants are all happy to provide free recruitment and salary advice where required based on their extensive knowledge of recruiting in their sectors.
In late Spring 2009 we launched our New Recruitment Model in response to a market where high recruitment fees were no longer a valid option for many organizations. The needs of our clients and candidates are at the forefront of our business. We understand recruitment, and we understand that finding the right job (and finding the right person for the job) isn’t always black and white. Our philosophy is one of flexibility and change.

We aren’t stuck in a routine process; we adapt to an ever-changing market and provide a tailored and individual service, depending on client and candidate requirements.
If your vacancy is confidential or you don’t have the space to interview potential candidates, then you can use one of our interview rooms; if you don’t have time to write a job description for the role, we can do that for you; if you are a relevant candidate and you can’t come to register with us at our Head Office in Leighton Buzzard, then we will come to you – outside office hours if necessary.
We will always strive to provide you with an honest and reliable service – and if we genuinely can’t help you, then we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction.
