Finding Your People & Reaching Your Potential
Hello, I am Vicki Shelton the proud founder of Success Recruit & Workplace Wellness.
I have built businesses from the ground up, grown a six-figure recruitment agency, led a team of talented recruiters, partnered with incredible clients, and helped hundreds of people change their careers.
The world of business has changed since I started Success Recruit in 2012, people have changed and so have I and rather continuing to grow for the sake of growth, I made a conscious decision to simplify in 2025 & expand in to the wellbeing space to support retention further.
Today, when you work with Success Recruit, you work directly with me, no layers of management & handovers to other consultants.
Just honest recruitment & retention advice, deep expertise and a partnership from someone who has experienced every side of recruitment, from building teams and scaling businesses to navigating uncertainty, restructuring and adapting when the market demanded it.

Alongside helping organisations attract exceptional talent in Essex, I work with businesses to support employee wellbeing, strengthen retention and encourage healthier, more resilient workplace cultures. Through my trusted network of specialist partners, I can connect clients with experienced professionals who provide wellbeing initiatives, mindfulness practices, sound healing sessions and tailored support designed to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and help people perform at their best.
Because when people feel supported, businesses thrive.
Where great people and great companies meet — and grow.
“From our initial contact it was evident to see a confidence in not only understanding, listening, and learning about our business, culture, and values, but also how passionate they were towards supporting growing businesses with the right teams.”

“Vicki is a fantastic recruitment specialist, who goes to great lengths to get to know a candidate, what they want from a role, and whether they’re a great fit for a client. As a candidate, I found Vicki to be very friendly, helpful, thorough, proactive and encouraging. In a tough jobs market, her truly person-centred approach is just what’s needed to make the search less daunting, more fruitful, and ultimately rewarding”

Case study from ‘Fusion’ part of the 3BM Group
“Our relationship with Success Recruit and all the team is central to our success and central to our philosophy. We source all our new staff in the main from SR, since working with them since 2012 we have sourced over 15 new members of staff with several of them progressing up to an associate director level in the business showing long term commitment.
The team understands our business and completes a thorough interview search before introducing them to ourselves. They know exactly the right personality and experience to match our requirements so are always confident we are receiving excellent quality. It is always a great service to receive, honest and organised approach throughout the entire process right through to an offer stage.
We also believe Success Recruit have added value to our business through sourcing the right people to introducing us to potential clients in their network. They personally introduced us to several complimentary companies including local organisations such as MLM.
The team, Vicki especially has a unique skill set to work alongside with, she is honest, hardworking, driven and a very grounded person. It is a joy to work with someone that cares so deeply about her own business and staff as well as ours all with a smile and bubbly demeanour.”
