Default Company Name Ideas :) ?

In the process of starting my own Recruitment Agency with a work colleague and we are both stumped about what to call it.
The company is going to be a specialist Motor Trade Recruitment agency working with Techs, parts advisors, service people etc.
Oddly enough we are both called Dan incase someone may have an idea to include that lol.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Maybe Automotive placement services?

Yeah, i couldn't think of much for 'N'

Niche -
a place or position suitable or appropriate for a person or thing: to find one's niche in the business world.

Agree, it's far to sensible though

Just "Walton & Powell Recruitment", sounds professional and doesn't get you pigeon-holed as a one trick company. This way you can branch out into other areas of recruitment without having to change the name or get over-looked, because people perceive you as doing only one aspect of recruitment. If you get a name for the automotive arena, an unspecific name won't hinder you, whereas a specific one could limit opportunities .

My marketing advice is Ł10k, I expect to receive payment in 7 days .

I agree with Mike, gimmick names just cheapen the business IMHO

Rectuitment consultants are all slimey cunts at the best of time, at least try and be classy and slimey not cheap and slimey.

"Performance Personnel" ?

Doesnt necessarily pigeon hole you into motoring but suits the format.

yeh if u loose the recruitment part your loose your identity all together. but the first part makes you look well established etc and proper and the last part tells everyone exactly what you do.

it is all about 1st impressions and if i was looking for a job and saw that name then i would think they sound professional before i even knew jack about your company.

and starting a new company thats what you need to get ya foot in so to speak

But then it also limits to what you can be; i've seen so many companies do that then expand into other areas and end up with a bunch of different company names which they only end up merging 10 years down the line anyway!
