About Us
Octane Recruitment, established 17 years, is a fast-growing automotive recruitment agency with offices in Manchester, Birmingham and South Africa; specialising in placing top talent in permanent roles across car dealerships, vehicle rental, fast-fit, breakdown services and aftermarket businesses.

The Role
