Francis Kelly

Partnership Director

I founded Magpie Recruitment with a vision to create inclusive recruitment practices, drawing on over 15 years of experience in the Accountancy & Finance recruitment industry. At Magpie Recruitment, we are committed to helping our clients attract diverse talent, and focusing on inclusive hiring processes.



As a qualified Neurodiversity Workplace Needs Assessor, I work closely with organisations to support neurodiverse candidates, ensuring they can perform at their best in environments that accommodate their unique needs. My passion lies in making recruitment processes more equitable and ensuring that every hire is a valuable addition.


In addition to my work at Magpie, I serve as the EDI Lead for the Southern Sunday Football League, where I advocate for diversity and inclusion on and off the pitch. Outside of the office, I am a father of two, an avid Arsenal supporter, and a dedicated camper. I also run the Magpie Recruitment Sunday league football team.
