Established in 1984, Artisan People is synonymous with the recruitment of exceptional people for its stellar luxury retail client base. We have long-term associations with leading brands in each of the sectors we operate in: Airside, Luxury Retail, Beauty & Fashion, Corporate Hospitality and Museums & Galleries.

Our ethos is simple. We believe that genuine luxury customer service is delivered with passion, brand knowledge and consistently exceeding expectations – and this shines through in the candidates we recruit, train and deploy.

We adopt a people-first approach which applies to staff, candidates, customers and clients alike. It’s fair to say we love what we do, and this is reflected in our client and brand feedback.

At Artisan, training is crucial for successful outcomes. The Artisan Talent School ensures that our candidates are coached and upskilled throughout their careers.

This is complemented by the Artisan Training Foundation which provides self-paced online learning with each session CPD-accredited.

The Artisan difference is legendary. Our clients expect (and receive) an improvement on ROI, customer feedback and overall achievement of sales objectives whilst our teams are on shift. All metrics are carefully measured for every individual and reported to our clients. The proof is in the reporting!
