Our History

2011 – Instinct Commences Trading

Two phones, two desks, two laptops and percolator. Instinct was born and we embarked on our mission to provide a quality recruitment service to the digital learning market.

2012 – First “Proper” office in Manchester city centre

In 2012, we progressed from start up to establishing the Instinct brand. Our office on Portland Street holds many fond memories for the team.

2016 – 5 Year Birthday party held at Warwick Hall

Instinct made it to five years, so we took the opportunity to celebrate! All of the team travelled to Warwick Hall where we played a murder mystery game, cricket on the lawn and generally enjoyed the idyllic surroundings.

2017 – Awarded a place on the CCS

We were honoured to be awarded a place on the Crown Commercial Service Framework. We have remained on the framework ever since.

2017 – Moved into our home at York House

2017 saw our 5^th (and final?) office move. The team have been really happy for the last 6 years, and counting, in our York House home.

2018 – Winners! Team of the year at MYTA

We were extremely privileged to be awarded the 2018 Team of the Year at the Manchester Young Talent Awards.

2021 – 10 year Anniversary

We celebrated a decade of Instinct at the luxury Lemore Estate. The weekend was filled with canoeing, games, speeches, a gala dinner, a band, a magician and a few sore heads.

2023 – Employee Owned

In 2023 Instinct became a 100% employee owned company. Placing employees at the heart of our business is the perfect solution to continue our journey.
