Depending on the nature of the vacancy geography may or not be relevant to your search.
For example, if you’re looking for an interim I.T professional to work on a project for 3-6 months, geography is less important than a permanent hire who will have a daily commute to consider.
In terms of travel, proximity is not indicative of a successful hire and shouldn’t be a barrier to using a particular service. The key consideration here is the type of role you are recruiting for. I’m based in the Manchester because I live here. Given the type of roles and our customer base, I have recruited in Edinburgh, London and Granada as well as the Northwest.
