Manchester-headquartered executive recruitment firm Stark Brooks is expanding its Leeds team and hopes to create four new positions.

The company announced today it has moved into larger offices in Leeds and expanded its team as demand grows within the Yorkshire and North-East jobs market.

The firm’s newest appointment in the city is recruitment consultant Isma Rafiq, previously of JWA Recruitment, who will focus on part-qualified and qualified accountants.

It hopes to hire two additional staff for each of its Manchester and Leeds offices before the end of the year.

The roles are expected to be a transactional or interim finance position in Manchester, and transactional and qualified accountancy roles in Leeds.
