MEET THE CHALK CREW

I think it’s about time we introduced ourselves.

Chalk is made up of a team of experienced, approachable, recruiters who are passionate about what they do.

We aren’t just the middleman (or woman); we care about making a difference and getting it right. It’s in our DNA. Here you can get a feel for our staff by day and, perhaps more interestingly, by night…
