Business is Changing

It comes as no surprise that many organisations and businesses will be changing the way in which they conduct business.

As a result of coronavirus, some elements of work life will inevitably change and as we move into a post-lockdown world.

It has been a terrible time, some of us have been affected directly by the virus. Some of us have struggled with mental health issues and others are now facing the repercussions of the economic backlash. It seems there aren’t many that have come out unscathed. We can find comfort in knowing we aren’t alone in what we’re going through.

Business’ are looking towards the future, and many may not return to the office until 2021. Others are implementing rigorous cleaning regimes or part time office attendance.

No one knows really what is for the best. Only you what is right for you and your team.

In a nut shell, what does this look like for business’?

  • Where possible – more teams will work from home
  • Companies may have less scope for permanent staff, therefore we may see an influx of temporary workers entering the job market
  • Staff remaining on furlough and returning to work on a part-time basis
  • Reduction of costs, including; subscriptions, luxury items, unnecessary food and drink, bonus’ and incentives to name a few

Although our economy relies on us spending money, shaving off a few £’s can help business’ to move forwards.

Local business’ supporting local business’ will be crucial to us all coming out the other side surviving and thriving!

What Type of Role are you Hiring for?

Alright, time to get into the nitty gritty of this subject.

The first thing to consider is – what role are you hiring for?

There are recruitment agencies in Mansfield, Derbyshire and Nottingham that recruit for different job types, that could be;

  • Warehouse and industrial
  • Commercial positions
  • Headhunters – specialising in top tier management positions
  • Job specific – Some agencies focus solely on one job type

  • IT & Digital
  • Marketing & Creative
  • Supply Chain & Procurement
  • Sales & Account Management
  • Finance & Accountancy
  • Legal
  • Customer Service & Call Centre
  • Managerial & Executive

Do you Need a Local Recruitment Agency in Mansfield?

The next point to consider, is whether or not you require a local recruitment agency in Mansfield. Or, if you require an agency that covers nationwide or even internationally.

You need a local agency if –

  • You’re a local business
  • You are hiring for a position within your geographical area
  • If you require someone quickly
  • You need to hire temporary staff
  • A tailored package is required

You need a Nationwide or International agency if –

  • You’re are hiring for overseas
  • There are multiple hires to make across the country you need to make
  • The role is for an industrial specialist or of a similar nature

You will find 9.9/10 you will require a local recruitment agency in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire. But we encourage you to really think about what you need, so that you do get the best help for your hire.

Temporary or Permanent Recruitment

Another focus of recruitment agencies are whether they specialise in Permanent or Temporary recruitment. Some will only have the capacity for one or the other. Others will have the capacity for both.

But, please be careful, as from experience some of these agencies approach your hire through ‘CV spamming’. Which won’t alleviate stress from yourself… and that’s the whole point!

We look at this as one of our greatest assets. We pride ourselves that we recruit, we don’t just send CV’s. Our team are highly skilled and trained, and they come with a breadth of knowledge in recruitment. Meaning that we guarantee, that you will be well looked after and your recruitment needs met.

We are in that great middle ground spot of being an intimate bespoke agency with the capacity to help with temporary and permanent recruitment.

The Difference in Small and Large Agencies

The difference in Small and Large agencies

It’s a common misconception that small agencies are unequipped to fulfil all recruitment needs. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

The truth is small agencies can do everything that a large agency can. With the added bonus of a friendly, tailored approach that you don’t often get with the larger corporate agencies.

We have an excellent blog written by our Marketing Executive, Danni. Where she discusses her personal experience of recruitment agencies from an unbiased point of view. Click here to read.

What we do;

  • Nationwide hiring
  • Campaign recruitment, required at short notice
  • Tailored and friendly approach
  • Local expertise knowledge
  • Recruitment – not an influx of CV’s
  • No blanket approach
  • Pre-screened and well placed candidates
