Our Founding Story

Our founder, James Rayner, started his career in technical recruitment. After taking a break from recruitment and working in the marketing department of his local credit union, Westcountry Savings & Loans, he realised that no recruitment services existed that were specially tailored to the credit union sector.

James blended his recruitment expertise with his insider knowledge of third sector finance to found CU Recruitment in 2022, offering a specialist service that you won’t find elsewhere in the UK. Fast forward two years, and we’re thriving with a team of three and planning on growing even more in 2024.

We don’t just focus on filling roles – our main focus is on serving the sector and building new connections that Empower Ethical Finance. Join us on this journey where we’re not just a recruitment specialist, we are a team passionate about ethical finance and redefining how recruitment works in the UK.
