Leading the way in beauty recruitment

Refyne

We know beauty, because we come from it.

We connect ambitious brands with the people who help them grow, across the UK and US, from first roles through to C-suite.
We're not generalists who picked up beauty along the way. Our core team has worked in this industry. We know what good looks like, and we know how much the right hire matters.

Our story.

Refyne was founded by Genie Burgess after years spent headhunting across the beauty industry and building a reputation as someone who leaves no stone unturned.
She started Refyne to do recruitment properly, with the industry knowledge, honesty and care she felt the sector was missing.
What began as one person with a phone and a little black book is now a team working across two continents, trusted by some of the fastest-growing names in Beauty.
The focus hasn't changed: the right person, in the right role, every time.

What we do.

We recruit permanent and interim talent across every function in the industry. Sales, Marketing, NPD, R&D, Supply Chain, Operations, Finance and HR - at every level, from first jobs to executive search. Whether you're making your very first hire or scaling a team across markets, we shape the approach around you: your timeline, your guarantee, your budget.
And we stand behind our placements, every time.

How we work.

We speak your language.
We've sat in these roles ourselves, so we brief on the real job, not just the spec.
We're honest. We'll tell a client when a hire isn't right, and tell a candidate where they stand, including a no.
We don't disappear. From first call to first day and beyond, you'll always know what's happening.

UK and US.

Headquartered in Manchester with a growing North American division, we recruit on both sides of the Atlantic, supporting brands expanding internationally and placing talent across borders.
