GRS Recruitment is a recruitment and HR group founded in 2005 that works across Cyprus, Malta and the Middle East. Its Malta office is at the Punchbowl Centre on Elia Zammit Street in St Julian's, one of the island's main business and nightlife areas. The group's headquarters is in Limassol, and a Senior Business Manager leads the team in Malta.
In our directory it appears among the recruitment agencies in Malta. For UK employers opening a Maltese operation, and for British professionals weighing a move, it offers a recruiter that also runs payroll, which can be convenient when you are hiring your first staff on the island.
Who GRS is
The group was set up by Steve Slocombe, a law graduate who began his career at a leading UK recruitment firm in central London, where he built a property recruitment division, before moving to a boutique London financial recruiter placing senior finance staff with FTSE companies. He then relocated to Cyprus and founded GRS. That UK background shapes a business that talks the language of British employers and candidates.
Its values are fun, teamwork, professionalism and respect, and its mission is to be the bridge between organisations and talent, working with confidentiality for client and candidate alike. Leadership includes directors for recruitment, operations, accounts and payroll, and business and communications, plus a group financial controller and managers for temporary and contract work. The group has placed thousands of candidates since 2005, and its culture is built on respect for staff, clients and candidates.
Recruitment services
Permanent recruitment is the main line: GRS sources candidates for companies in Cyprus and Malta from its candidate database and network. Temporary and contract recruitment covers absences such as maternity leave, holidays or long-term sickness, and project recruitment handles large hiring drives for both blue-collar and white-collar roles. Executive search is offered for senior appointments, and the team begins each assignment by listening to the client, learning how the organisation works and then proposing the best available people.
The agency recruits across a wide range of industries, including accounting and audit, banking, corporate services, financial services, insurance, legal, gaming, crypto and blockchain, forex and fintech, IT, hospitality, logistics, shipping and real estate. Many of these match Malta's strengths, and you can read more in our guides to financial services in Malta and the iGaming sector in Malta.
Payroll, outplacement and benchmarking
GRS has provided payroll services for 14 years to companies in Cyprus and Malta. Its contractor solution suits employers who want to use a contractor or temporary worker but do not have the legal entity or budget to put them on the company payroll. GRS engages the contractor, pays statutory contributions, supplies pay slips, pays salary by bank transfer and sends the client a monthly invoice, with an account manager on hand for queries.
Outplacement support eases the transition for staff made redundant, and salary benchmarking helps employers set pay and helps jobseekers judge a move. Businesses planning how to structure a new Maltese company may also find our overview of Malta's corporate tax structure useful, as well as our featured partner CLA Malta for company and tax services.
For candidates and how to start
Jobseekers can look through live vacancies on the group's site, including a Malta section, or upload a CV so that the profile stays on the database and consultants call when a suitable role appears. If you are moving from the UK, our Malta relocation guide and guide to Malta tax for UK nationals cover the practical side.
Companies in the area looking for support can also see other St Julian's and Sliema-area firms in the directory, such as A4 Services Limited for accountancy and AE Business Advisors for financial advice.
