The partnerships and accreditations behind our trusted approach

THE RELATIONSHIPS AND STANDARDS BEHIND WHAT WE DO MATTER

At Fortress Recruit, we believe trust is built through the way we work, not just the results we deliver. Our affiliations and accreditations reflect our commitment to integrity, transparency and professional standards, as well as our support for the communities and people we work alongside.

We are proud to work with organisations that share these values. For us, these affiliations are more than just badges on a website. They represent standards we believe in and commitments we are proud to uphold.

Armed Forces Covenant

Fortress Recruit is a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, a public pledge supported by the Ministry of Defence, that the Armed Forces community will be treated with the fairness and respect their service deserves.

By signing the Covenant, we have formally committed to two core principles: that no member of the Armed Forces community should face disadvantage in accessing commercial services compared to any other citizen, and that special consideration should be given where appropriate, particularly to those who have been injured or bereaved in service. These principles underpin our commitment to treating every member of the Armed Forces community with fairness, respect and understanding.

As a recruitment consultancy specialising in defence, engineering and manufacturing, we work regularly with service leavers, veterans and reservists. We recognise the exceptional qualities that a career in the Armed Forces develops, including leadership, discipline, adaptability and resilience and we are committed to ensuring that a military background is recognised as the considerable professional asset that it is. Signing the Armed Forces Covenant is a reflection of a genuine and ongoing commitment to this community and one we are proud to honour.
