An interesting and positive read from the latest report from KPMG and REC.

Both Iain and Andy have definitely seen this positive shift in the market. We are very busy with new roles and in talks with businesses that are looking to recruit in H2.

Immensely proud to announce Beyond Recruitment Limited as an official Corporate Partner to Autism Anglia.

We are excited to start this journey by raising awareness in our business community and raising funds directly to Autism Anglia. We will be celebrating key business successes with regular donations. This will help run their Youth Connect social groups and family drop-in events.

Our motivation and commitment is driven by my own personal experience with Autism Anglia. They make such a difference to children, young adults and families across East Anglia.

You can see our story in the short video here; https://youtu.be/Em9_W0WnZZk?si=BDEvqZQnL9iFv2cy

This is a charity both Andy Dowsett and I want to get personally involved, we have already signed up to their Fire Walk in October, which you can donate here; https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/beyondrecruitment

You can be forgiven in thinking this is an out take from Die Hard with Bruce Willis and his stuntman 😃

But look again, both Andy Dowsett and Iain Jones are doing a Fire walk in October in aid of Autism Anglia.

We have pledged to raise at least £200 between us, any small amount would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

The conversations that matter

A candidate recently apologised to me over a coffee for “offloading” about their frustrations.

My response? Don’t apologise. That’s part of what I’m here for.

As recruiters, we often get caught up in the CVs, interviews, salaries and job offers. But sometimes the most valuable part of what we do is simply listening.

Career progression, feeling undervalued, frustrations at work and, particularly, salary are not always things people feel comfortable discussing openly with colleagues, friends or even family.

Sometimes you just need a safe, confidential space to say what you’re really thinking.

And that conversation can often be the starting point for understanding what you actually want next.

Not every conversation needs to end with a new job.

Sometimes, it’s about getting clarity, understanding your options and knowing that someone is listening.

So, if you need to offload over a coffee, don’t apologise. ☕

That’s what good recruitment consultants should be there for. Get in touch with us and we will bring the coffee 😀

Sometimes the brief changes when the right candidates come along.

Iain has just completed a confidential search for a client who initially had one position to fill.

The shortlist was strong. The candidates were exceptional.

So strong, in fact, that the client decided to take two of them. 👏

For us, this is exactly why using an experienced specialist recruiter can deliver results above and beyond simply filling a vacancy.

It’s not about sending CVs.

It’s about understanding the business, knowing the market, identifying the right people and presenting a shortlist where every candidate has genuine potential.

If you have a hard-to-fill role, we will work with you to identify the right talent and present a strong, carefully considered shortlist.

Sometimes, you start looking for one person and discover you’ve found two you simply can’t afford to miss!
