Specialist recruitment agency expands into Europe

SF Recruitment has announced it has expanded into Europe following the opening of its first international office.

The specialist recruitment agency has opened the new office in Frankfurt, Germany, marking the next stage of its growth journey.

The Frankfurt office will focus on finance and accountancy recruitment, supporting businesses and professionals across the Rhein-Main region.

The launch follows a series of major successes for SF Recruitment.

Last year the business was recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list and won Recruitment Agency of the Year at the Recruiter Awards.

Its chief executive, Saira Demmer, was also named on Management Today’s Women in Leadership Power List for 2025.

Leading the Frankfurt office is business manager Lisa Drumm, who brings specialist expertise in finance appointments across accounting, controlling, tax, mergers and acquisitions and treasury.

To mark the launch, SF Recruitment is partnering with AICPA, CIMA and the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany to host its first German event, The Power of Finance Storytelling, in Berlin on 18 September.

Saira said: “Our expansion into Germany marks the start of a new and exciting phase for SF Recruitment.

“For more than 26 years, we have been dedicated to putting people into jobs they love and supporting businesses with the talent they need to succeed.

“Frankfurt is one of Europe’s most dynamic financial centres, and with Lisa’s expertise on the ground we are in a strong position to deliver long-term, sustainable recruitment solutions for both clients and candidates.”
