About CJA Group

The depth of experience to understand your sector

A specialist recruitment marketing agency working exclusively with education, charity and public sector organisations since 1969.

+55 years of working with organisations that exist to benefit society

CJA Group was founded in 1969. Since then, our focus has remained the same: helping organisations that exist to benefit and protect society attract the people who make that possible.

We work exclusively with education, charity, local government, civil service, health and social care, and housing organisations. This is not a market we happen to serve alongside others. It is the only market we serve, and that focus shapes everything about how we work.

Sector knowledge that goes beyond the brief, relationships built on trust rather than transactions, and a team that knows your organisation well enough to act as an extension of it, do not happen by accident. They come from decades of commitment to the same sectors and the same kinds of organisations.

How we work

Every client relationship follows the same underlying approach, whether you engage with one service or the full Talent Attraction Narrative Circle.

Understand your world

We take the time to understand your organisation, your sector, and your candidates before proposing a single solution.

Move with agility

An experienced team means fast decisions and fewer layers between your brief and delivery.

Commit for the long term

Our client relationships regularly run for years, not campaigns, because we invest in understanding your organisation as it evolves.

A team that stays

Our average staff tenure is over ten years. This matters because the people you work with at the start of a project are, in most cases, the same people you work with years later. Institutional knowledge about your organisation is retained, not lost to staff turnover.

The same principle applies to our client relationships. Many have lasted 20 years or more, built on consistent delivery rather than repeated re-pitching.

An approved supplier you can procure with confidence

CJA Group is an ESPO framework approved supplier, giving public sector organisations a straightforward, compliant route to working with us without needing to run a full separate procurement process.

Talk to a team that understands your sector

Whether you are looking for a single service or a long-term talent attraction partner, we would welcome the conversation.
