We pride ourselves on the fact that we talk to all our clients and candidates about what they really need in an employee or want from a job, then use our skills and experience to help make it a reality. But one of the other things we pride ourselves on is the range of jobs we have on offer, and how we can prepare people to do them – even if it means discovering skills they didn’t even know they had.

When a candidate walks into one of our offices, the first thing we do is find time to get to know them. (Actually, that’s not quite true: the first thing we do is make them a cup of tea.) The chat we have always reveals interesting and relevant information, and sometimes we find that people underestimate what they can do – in other words, they’ve built up a whole array of skills without even noticing. It might even turn out that what we think they’d be perfect for, they hadn’t even thought of. These skills can be ‘hard’ skills – core manufacturing or mending skills that can be transferred to different sectors – or ‘soft’ skills, such as negotiating, managing a team or working with suppliers. To define those skills further, we may set candidates a test or two, just to see where their strengths really lie.

Combine this with the range of jobs we offer – some niche, some more general – and we prove a formidable tool in any job-seeker’s armoury. That’s great for candidates, great for employers seeking a wide range of capable, experienced staff, too.

If you have a job or a range of jobs you’d like to find staff for, or are looking for a job and want to consider technology, engineering and manufacturing, then give us a call, or pop in and see us.
