Genius is behind iQ — a creative communications and recruitment marketing agency helping organisations attract, engage and retain talent through brilliant thinking, bold creativity and human-centred technology.
Since 2009, we’ve been creating brands, platforms and experiences that connect people to purpose — and make recruitment smarter, fairer and more effective.
We believe the best recruitment experiences sit at the intersection of creativity, insight and simplicity.
That means building things that look good, work beautifully and genuinely improve the experience for candidates, hiring teams and employers alike.
From employer branding and recruitment marketing to digital platforms and communications, everything we create is designed to engage people and deliver results.
Genius delivers end-to-end recruitment communications and marketing services, including:

Genius is based at Broughton Hall, home to the UK’s largest rewilding project, and that environment shapes how we work. We actively support green initiatives, are transitioning to electric vehicles, encourage low-carbon travel, and are progressing towards B Corp certification.
We’ve also created Planet People, a specialist division helping organisations communicate their sustainability story with credibility and clarity.
We care deeply about creating experiences that are accessible, inclusive and fair.
That runs through our design, our storytelling and our technology — from inclusive digital journeys to skills-first recruitment tools that help reduce bias and create better opportunities for more people.
For us, ED&I is not an add-on. It’s part of doing good work properly.
