The Leading
Rec-to-Rec Agency on the South Coast of England

A little more about us…
Let's Talk

Our Core Values

Care

We strive to make a positive impact on the lives, careers and businesses that we work with.  We are here to fit your needs so we offer support and guidance outside of normal working hours to clients and jobseekers.

Integrity

We operate ethically and with integrity. This includes fair and unbiased candidate evaluation, maintaining confidentiality, advocating for equal opportunities and adhering to legal and industry regulations.

Partnerships

We foster strong relationships to fully understand the needs of those we work with. We provide support beyond the initial placement, facilitating mutually beneficial partnerships that drive success for the long-term.

Our Vision: To Connect Companies and Exceptional Talent with People-First Values

In the beginning

People Prospect Solutions emerged in 2001 from a vision to address the gap on the South Coast of England for specialised Rec2Rec services.

Recruitment companies struggled to find competent mid-level recruitment talent due to a reliance on city-based agencies that lacked the necessary networks of local talent.

Drawing on the founders’ experience of 20 years in the recruitment industry, we leveraged our extensive and trusted network to support businesses effectively.

Our aim was clear: to bridge the gap between companies and exceptional recruitment professionals at all levels, catering to a diverse range of sectors using a transparent and people-first approach.

Where we are now

Jump forward to 2023, People Prospect Solutions is now headed by Rebecca Bowring-Kingman.

Rebecca and the team continue to focus on establishing meaningful connections with clients and candidates.  The client portfolio is growing strong to ensure we can give ambitious recruiters, consultants and directors great opportunities to work with.

We have earned the trust and loyalty of numerous clients who rely on our deep knowledge, extensive networks and commitment to delivering exceptional recruitment solutions… all in a friendly and efficient manner with strong values.

Hey there, I am Rebecca, the proud Director of People Prospect Solutions.  I am addicted to recruitment—I can’t help it; it’s my passion. The highs and lows of this industry thrill me!

I stumbled into recruitment while working as a fully qualified theatre practitioner for the NHS. Trading the bright lights of an operating theatre and wearing a J-cloth on my head for 9 hours a day for a new path, I walked into a high street agency in Southampton, and embarked on a new adventure.

Over two decades later, I still love the rollercoaster ride of recruitment. I’ve settled into Rec to Rec, drawing from my experience in both large corporations and SMEs to guide fellow recruiters in finding their new homes.

When not immersed in work, the challenge really begins – I have a teenager in the house – the male version of me, I think!  With a dog and husband in tow, as a family we love to socialise and enjoy our surroundings as much as possible.

Living in the New Forest and right by the coast I take every opportunity to breathe in the fresh air.  At least once a week I plunge into the sea and join my fellow sea swimmers!  Not quite 12 months of the year – but my dry robe investment has certainly helped the recovery after!

A loyal friend, wife, mum and dog owner, if you drench me with humour, decent wine, good food the rest as they say, takes care of itself.

Hello! I’m Karen and I am the Candidate Attraction Recruiter for People Prospect Solutions.

I started my career studying and working in both art and engineering environments, very different to each other but surprisingly similar too believe it or not!

My first foray into recruitment after a stint in the property industry, was working on a commercial Temp desk.  Over the years, I have worked in several sectors including industrial, oil and gas, scientific & engineering, education and most recently, have found my home in recruitment to recruitment where I plan on staying. 

Building relationships with candidates and finding them their perfect job is the basis of my role and I love it.  I will absolutely go the extra mile for my candidates and believe in being honest and open from our initial conversation.

Outside of work I am passionate about embracing my creative side through drawing and photography – late night drawing with a glass of wine and some music is my favourite way to unwind!  Other than that, with two teenage children, a husband, a dog, friends and family, life is generally busy but also lots of fun.

I might be busy, but I always have time for a chat particularly if there is coffee and cake involved!

Don't just take our word for it though!

Here's what our candidates say about working with us...

I can't recommend Karen enough!!

Amazing from the start, found out what I was after, kept in constant contact with me, but not overbearing, found me an amazing company that is well suited to me!

Advised me on the company and the interviews and guided me through the process smoothly, I had 3 interviews and even when I thought I’d scuffed my second one, she was very responsive!

Can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend Karen and People Prospects!! 🌟👊

Recruiter

Words cannot describe how wonderful Rebecca has been!

From the first point of contact meeting her for a coffee, I was extremely impressed. Rebecca was personable and very profession-able. Just 2 days after meeting her, I had secured my first interview. This then totalled to 4 interviews in the space of just a week! I have now secured a job from the company I had my very first interview with and I could not be happier!

This wouldn’t have been possible without Rebecca! She contacted me before every interview to ensure I knew where to go, who I’d be meeting with and that I was prepared. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you Rebecca, for making the process completely stress-free.

Delivery Consultant

I contacted PPS as I was moving down to Portsmouth and...

was looking for new employment in the recruitment sector. They made it seem very stress free and simple and after one telephone call she had arranged me several interviews. After the 1st interview I found the perfect match. The process was very fast and stress free on my end! I would highly recommend PPS as they know the market and area very well.

They even send chocolates once you have found your new position!

All around great experience.

Recruitment Consultant

Great service...

Having just relocated to the area, I wasn’t overly familiar with the local market place from a job seeking perspective. Karen was extremely helpful with the search and provided an invaluable insight into opportunities that were available. Within a matter of a few days, I had multiple interviews with a fantastic cross section of recruitment companies. A very quick turnaround and a seamless process.

Trainee Recruiter

PPS have helped me find my last 2 roles and...

I have found them to be very professional, efficient and friendly. They listened to what I was looking for and suggested roles that have been a great fit, not only this she supported me 100% throughout the recruitment/onboarding process with my new companies and was always there for advice when needed.

I would highly recommend PPS to anyone seeking work within the Recruitment sector.
