Who we are
At Stanley Cowton International, we believe recruitment should be built on relationships, not transactions. Founded by Brett and Jenna and named in honour of Brett’s grandad — a proud Yorkshire man known for his honesty and integrity — SCI was created to bring those same values into modern search.
We’re a family-run recruitment firm that partners closely with clients to deliver long-term, high-impact hires. Our approach combines data-driven insight with genuine human connection, ensuring every search adds real value.
Why Work With Us?
At SCI, we do things differently. We believe recruitment should be built on trust, not transactions. That’s why we focus on long-term partnerships, not one-off placements. Our clients work with us because we take the time to understand their business, their culture, and their goals — then deliver results that last. Whether you’re scaling fast or building from the ground up, we become a true extension of your team. Built on integrity. Driven by results. That’s the SCI way.
As a boutique search partner, we give every client and candidate the time, attention and respect they deserve — no one gets lost in the process.

"For a sales position in Germany, we decided to work with SCI. They listen very well to the input we gave next to the job description. We received a weekly personal update, which assures you that things are moving. Candidates we got presented were all very relevant, which helps a lot in making the process quick and efficient. We managed together with SCI to filter out the right candidate. Our experience was very pleasant due to short action driven communication; we would not hesitate using SCI again in the future!"
