Skillsmatch - introduction

Skillsmatch is the flagship job brokerage service for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and is ideally placed within the Development and Renewal Directorate under the Access to Employment and Enterprise section.

Supported by Canary Wharf Group and working with a range of strategic partners, it offers innovative recruitment solutions to companies looking to source new staff and to job seekers wishing to secure sustainable employment.

All Skillsmatch services are offered free of charge regardless of the complexity involved in finding the right solution. Being 'free' doesn't mean that we compromise in any way - we offer our services in much the same way as a commercially driven recruitment agency.

Based in the heart of Canary Wharf since 1997, Skillsmatch has offices at 30 South Colonnade and also at the Canary Wharf Recruitment and Training Centre at 10 Heron Quay. To date Skillsmatch has placed over 5,000 local residents into sustainable employment and has built strong relationships with corporate companies based at Canary Wharf.

Skillsmatch works with a wide variety of employers offering very different career paths. It is entirely because of this diversity that it has gained the reputation of being a flexible and industry responsive model organisation.
