We want to deliver our Recruitment Solutions to our clients, with the one goal in min – To source them Talent. We do have weekly targets however we keep these to core functions only and keep our focus on the goal to source Talent.

Our team all take pride in what they do, we have high levels of customer care and put a massive focus on the candidate journey. We put alot of work into the brand image. Our team all get on very well and support each other
The Office
We are based in a former Victorian mill in the city centre of Manchester. We do themed days in the office and these have included in the past: 5th Nov Bonfire themed sausage lunch, 4th July American snack table, Pancake day, Christmas jumper day, cheese & pate in December and others. We know how important it is to break the year down with themed days. We aim to do these themed events and socials out of the office to build authentic community and not for Instagram PR!
CRM
We believe that having a integrated CRM makes life so much easier for our consultants. Some agencies spend hours finding email addresses or writing the same notes. We have alot of the basic tasks set up on our CRM and you can do most of the basic recruitment processes fast pressing just 1-2 buttons. The CRM also links to the phone system, Linkedin, Career pages and emails.

- Online CV databases
- Our own inhouse database with over 30,000 candidate CV’s

We aim to do socials that are about building authentic community within our team and not a Instagram social that is only for PR, instead we do things that we all really enjoy, have a laugh at and just enjoy being a community together.

- Assigned to one of the patches, these patches can change so you get something new to get your teeth into
Work life balance
- This is a office only based role. Unlike some recruiters you are not expected to work outside of hours unless you have a candidate having a interview on a evening (which is rare)
- We do not want our team working every hour & want them to have a work life balance. We therefore have set our systems with this in mind. Our new consultant joining will be using a desk top PC & the fantastic hihi desk phones. Our candidate whatsapp is also only available on the desk tops. So, when we say we do not want late nights & evenings, we mean it. We have 1 company mobile between the team, for that odd evening interview a candidate might have with a company, incase of issues.
- We have built our systems and process based around when your in the office, we are working and when your not in the office, you are off.
- The team have also got a ongoing joint flexibility request in place, for a 230pm Friday finish. We work 8-530 mon-thurs & 8-230 friday instead of 8-5 each day. This is all part of work life balance
