Media recruiter Jigsaw has opened for business. The Manchester-based firm has been set up by directors, Karl Barker and Ben Keegan.

Keegan says: “The whole ideology of Jigsaw is built on how we can best work with and for our clients; and for them to feel that they are getting added value from us. Too many consultancies out there are too focused on the short-term revenue they can pull in from a vacancy or client and therefore lose track of the bigger picture. Jigsaw’s approach is to look at how we can develop long-term partnerships with our clients to improve their overall recruitment process and strategies.”
