The Recruitment LINK was founded by Penny Harper FREC in February 2001. Penny's reputation in the North West and the hard work of the team quickly led to the company establishing itself as a reliable supplier to renowned local and national companies. In September of the first year a High Street competitor was acquired and the business incorporated into the Newcastle Branch.  With the success in Newcastle it became necessary to move into larger premises in Leeds House.

In 2003 the company assisted Bentley Motors in recruiting a workforce of 260 to build the new Bentley GT. The contract was completed in 3 months on time and within budget.
