Our depth of industry expertise allows us to navigate the complexities of Construction, Engineering, Renewable Energy, Mining, Manufacturing, and Oil & Gas, ensuring that you have access to the talent needed to drive innovation and business success.

But we go beyond recruitment—we believe in building genuine relationships with our clients and their teams. Our transparent, consultative approach ensures we’re not just a service provider but a trusted partner invested in your success.

Ashley Kempson - Managing Director

I started Baobab Talent Solutions because I wanted to change the way recruitment works. After years in the industry, I saw how hiring often felt transactional—focused on filling roles quickly rather than building teams that drive long-term success. I wanted to create something different: a recruitment partner that truly understands a business’s goals, challenges, and the people who make it thrive.

For me, recruitment is about more than just matching skills to job descriptions. It’s about strategy, culture, and impact. That’s why I prioritise ethical hiring practices, diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring businesses have access to talent that empowers growth and innovation. Inspired by the baobab tree, known for its strength and sustainability, I set out to build something lasting—helping organisations scale, adapt, and succeed with the right people in place.

Baobab Talent Solutions isn’t just about recruitment; it’s about creating opportunities, forming genuine partnerships, and making sure every hire is a meaningful step towards a better future for businesses and the people within them.
