The winning team for learning & development recruitment

Back when every business on the Internet was a colour plus a noun, we decided to call ourselves Blue Eskimo. As we’ve grown, our name has become synonymous with one thing: great L&D recruitment that stands out from the crowd, for all of the right reasons.

Nick Bate

Director

You don’t have to be called Nick to work here, but it clearly helps. Nick is one of the two business leaders at Blue Eskimo. His experience of over 30 years in L&D enables Nick to work with clients at the highest level – speaking their language and understanding their issues.
