Portsmouth is home ground for us — a short drive from our Southampton head office along the M27. The city's recruitment market is shaped by the naval base and defence industry, maritime and engineering, healthcare, and a professional services base across Gunwharf, Lakeside and the city centre. Being local means on-site attendance is straightforward, which matters when a floor of phones is not behaving.

Desks we design for in Portsmouth

Different desks need different dialling.

A senior search desk and a volume temp desk should not be running the same configuration. These are the specialisms most associated with the Hampshire and the South Coast market, and what each implies for telephony.

Defence and maritime

Security-conscious clients who ask about data handling, access control and recording governance.

Engineering and technical

Desks serving the naval base supply chain and Solent engineering firms.

Healthcare and social care

Shift filling for the region's hospitals and care providers with weekend routing.

Professional services and finance

Lakeside and Gunwharf desks placing into regional employers.

Industrial and logistics

Temp desks serving the port, distribution and the M27 corridor.

Local considerations

What actually comes up with agencies here.

On-site attendance across Portsmouth and the wider Solent area is straightforward from Southampton — cabling, handsets, Wi-Fi surveys and go-live support.
Defence-sector clients scrutinise recording storage, retention and access; worth settling before a client audit.
Agencies with Portsmouth and Southampton offices routinely share one platform with cross-site overflow.
Established Hampshire agencies still on legacy lines must migrate before the PSTN retirement in January 2027.
Shift-based maritime and healthcare desks need evening and weekend routing designed properly.

Recruitment telephony in Portsmouth: your questions

How quickly can you get to a Portsmouth office?

Portsmouth is within our core on-site area from Southampton via the M27. Most issues are resolved remotely, but where physical attendance is needed it is realistic rather than aspirational.

Our defence clients audit suppliers. What can you provide?

Documentation on recording storage, retention, the access control model, leaver revocation and incident handling, and we complete client security questionnaires where our services are in scope.

We have offices in Portsmouth and Southampton. One system?

Yes. One platform, per-office identity, cross-site overflow and group reporting — a very common Solent configuration for us.
