Putting people first and creating a positive workforce culture
The recruitment industry
The recruitment industry has a bad rap, second only to estate agents (I don’t mind estate agents!), work hard, play hard, bad practices, dishonesty, bullying, and misogyny to name but a few of the buzzwords that come up when you ask people what they think about recruitment industry, and if I’m honest a lot of the above is true, but that doesn’t mean it has to be that way.
Andy and I have a mission (without wanting to sound too Jerry Maguire), we want to build a company that gives people a fulfilled career path with multiple avenues for growth and development, incentivises and encourages creativity and entrepreneurial ideas. We want a company we’re all proud to be associated with.
So how to dispel an industry reputation built up over decades, the answer is teamwork, accountability, empowerment, responsibility, listen, try, fail, encourage. These are all the things we must do together to build our own reputation as an organisation that is forging its own path that isn’t looking for the quick fix, quick cash but is prepared to be different, stand up for what we believe in and put people first!
