Success leads to second phase

In this job, there’s little that’s more satisfying than being able to pass on a job offer to a candidate. So we were delighted when our latest recruitment drive on behalf of a client resulted in more than a dozen people being offered a new position.

The candidates were delighted, we were proud of our success and the client was so pleased we’ve been able to move onto the second phase of fulfilling their recruitment requirements.

It’s an exciting project. A national company has its headquarters in Peterborough which is opening up a lot of new opportunities on the job front for the city.

We were engaged to recruit staff for its Customer Service Centre. Within a week we had arranged two recruitment events, backed by radio and newspaper advertising campaigns, press stories, banners, information on twitter.com, coverage on websites and of course all the backroom work that goes into liaising and reporting.

The client now has in place all the necessary managers and a good percentage of staff.

More are needed though so we have another recruitment event in the pipeline to find people with customer service, sales order processing and knowledge of supply chain experience. We are also working closely with other clients – and further companies we are aware of because of our local knowledge – who may be making staff with the correct skill set redundant. The advantage to this is many-fold – we can provide very positive outplacement help, fulfil the brief from the national client and help filter redundant staff in the right direction.

If you know anyone with the required set of skills ask them to contact me.

I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
