Treo Recruitment
Launched in October 2024, Treo Recruitment has a refreshingly different approach to recruitment and is carving out a niche in the marketplace, focusing on putting people and partnership before profit.
Neil Jones, and recruitment partner Hayley Dodd, originally worked together as part of the in-house recruitment for a mental health hospital. The sale of the hospital spurred Neil on to set up and run his own business. Neil and Hayley have now been joined by David Shaul, who took up his new role as recruitment partner in early 2026.
By delivering high-quality, cost-effective recruitment services, Treo is helping Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), charities and local businesses to find their ideal candidates with a combination of personal service and low-cost flexible partnerships that enable their clients to recruit the right people as their business needs evolve.
In addition to offering recruitment services for sectors such as healthcare, retail and hospitality, they also support the local community. The Treo team is totally committed to investing time and resource into the local area, supporting charities and grass roots sports.
“Treo was born from a belief that recruitment doesn’t have to be impersonal or overpriced. We built this agency to offer honest advice, exceptional service and sustainable solutions that benefit everyone: employers, candidates and the communities we serve. Above all we would like to have a positive impact on the lives of job seekers, employers and the communities across every region we support. Attracting new business and being able to do more community work go hand in hand and are a benchmark of success.” Neil commented.
The services provided by Business Doncaster and the LAUNCHPAD team have been extremely helpful in the early days of Treo. As Neil explains, “Gary and Sue spent time getting to know us. They were hands-on, visiting the office, listening to our plans, and offering advice. We have found the training courses and networking opportunities particularly useful and plan to continue to use these services.”
Treo’s business plans and goals have been carefully put together with long-term sustainability, values-driven growth and community impact at the core. Ambitious future plans will see Treo Recruitment expanding their people-first, community focused style of recruitment in different geographical areas, staffed by teams that mirror Treo’s values, culture, community investment and outstanding service.
