Pineapple Recruitment, a Midlands-based job specialist, has earned triple ISO accreditations for quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), and occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), along with Cyber Essentials certification for data security. These accreditations demonstrate the company's commitment to high standards in service quality, sustainability, safety, and data protection. This achievement provides clients with independent assurance of Pineapple Recruitment's adherence to recognised international standards.

Midlands-based jobs specialist Pineapple Recruitment has achieved a triple ISO accreditation, underlining its commitment to quality, environmental responsibility and health and safety.  

Following a rigorous independent auditing process, the company has been awarded ISO 9001 for Quality Management, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, and ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety.  

Alongside the internationally recognised standards, Pineapple Recruitment has also secured Cyber Essentials certification, strengthening its approach to data and cyber security.  

Kasia Krieger, Director at Pineapple Recruitment, said: “Anyone can say they provide a high-quality recruitment service, but these ISO accreditations give our clients independent evidence that our processes have been assessed and meet recognised international standards.  

“For us, it’s about giving our clients confidence in the service they receive from us. They can see that quality, sustainability and health and safety are not simply things we talk about - they are areas where our business is now independently recognised.”  

Rather than treating the three accreditations as standalone, Pineapple has integrated these distinct disciplines into its day-to-day operations. ISO 9001 focuses on quality management, helping to ensure the company’s systems and processes consistently support the delivery of a high-quality recruitment service, from candidate vetting through to wider recruitment.  

ISO 14001 supports the company’s approach to environmental management, with systems in place to monitor and continually improve its environmental performance. Meanwhile, ISO 45001 provides a framework for managing workplace risks, health and safety procedures and the company’s duty of care.  

The newly attained Cyber Essentials certification further demonstrates the company’s commitment to protecting its systems and the sensitive client and candidate information it handles.  

Kasia added: “Achieving these accreditations is a significant milestone for Pineapple. It gives our clients and partners greater confidence that when they work with us, they     are working with a recruitment business that takes quality, sustainability, safety and data security seriously.”

Editorial insight

Pineapple Recruitment’s attainment of three ISO accreditations alongside Cyber Essentials certification highlights the growing emphasis on formal standards within the recruitment sector, particularly as clients place increasing value on demonstrable quality, compliance, and data security. For a regional specialist, securing these internationally recognised benchmarks can help differentiate its offering in a competitive market where trust and transparency are often key deciding factors for employers and candidates alike.

While ISO certification is not a regulatory requirement for recruitment firms, it is becoming more common among agencies seeking to reassure clients about the robustness of their processes and their approach to risk management. This development may be of particular interest to organisations with their own compliance obligations, or those operating in sectors where supply chain standards are under scrutiny.
