🎉 37 Years of Point Recruitment - Our Journey Continues!

As we reach the final day of our 37th anniversary series, we look back with pride on how far Point Recruitment has come since we first opened our doors in 1989.

Over 37 years, the recruitment industry has transformed and so have we. From 1989 to 2026, Point Recruitment has certainly evolved!

In April 2025, Will Granger took over the business as Owner & Managing Director, taking Point into an exciting new chapter.

Since then, we have had a fresh rebrand and new logo, a brand-new website, digital screens in our windows showcasing the latest job opportunities, an office refit, and we are continuing to grow our reach across Cambridgeshire.

Our HR Seminars are going from strength to strength, our team continues to grow, and we are incredibly proud to be finalists in this year’s Huntingdonshire Business Awards! 🏆 The awards are in October… wish us luck! 🤞

While a lot has changed over 37 years, our commitment to clients, candidates and our local community remains at the heart of Point Recruitment.

37 years of recruitment. One incredible journey. And an exciting future ahead. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story.

We hope you have enjoyed looking back over the years as much as we have ❤️

But before we leave the 80’s behind, we had one final question…

What would Team Point have looked like back then? 🤔😂 Take a look 👀🤦‍♀️

📠 From Newspaper Ads to One-Click Applications… Recruitment Has Changed!

As part of our 37-year anniversary celebrations, we are continuing our journey from 1989 to 2026.

And wow… recruitment has changed a bit! 😂

🕰️ Back in 1989…

Looking for a new job wasn't quite as simple as pulling out your phone and having hundreds of vacancies at your fingertips.

📰 Job adverts were in the local newspaper
You would grab a copy, make yourself a cup of tea and scan the job pages, pen in hand, circling anything that caught your eye.

☎️ You picked up the phone
See a job you liked? Time to call the recruitment agency. And not from your mobile, this was the era of landlines!

📄 CVs were typed, printed, and posted
No clicking “Easy Apply.” Your CV might have been carefully typed up, photocopied, and posted or delivered to the agency.

📠 The fax machine was cutting-edge technology
Need to send a CV to a client quickly? Fire up the fax machine and hope the paper didn't jam!

🚶 People popped into the agency
Candidates would walk through the door to register, discuss what they were looking for and meet their Recruitment Consultant face-to-face. We still insist on this (yes, we know we are a bit old school like that!!) as we feel it is the best way to build relationships and we think it is important to meet each and every one of our candidates.

Advertising jobs was also a little different.

There were no job boards, no LinkedIn, no Facebook posts and definitely no notifications telling you that “there are 17 new jobs matching your preferences!”

📱 Fast forward to 2026…

Now, job searching can happen anytime, anywhere.

💻 Search for jobs online
📱 Apply from your phone
📧 Email your CV in seconds
🔔 Set up job alerts
📲 See vacancies on social media
🎥 Attend interviews virtually
📱Digital job boards
🤖 Use technology and AI to support the recruitment process

Today, a candidate can see a job advert while sitting on the sofa, upload their CV and apply before they've even finished their morning coffee. ☕😂

And for us as recruiters, technology means we can advertise vacancies across multiple platforms and reach candidates much more quickly than we ever could in 1989.

But here's the thing…

Despite all the changes in technology, the heart of recruitment hasn't really changed. It's still about understanding what a business needs, it's still about listening to what a candidate or client is looking for and telling you and most importantly, it's still about connecting the right people with the right job opportunities.

So yes, we have swapped newspaper advertising and fax machines for job boards, social media, CRMs, and online applications…

But 37 years later, recruitment is still all about people ♥ and that's something we are proud to have been doing since 1989.

From newspaper adverts to smartphone screens… We have come a long way! 📠➡️📱

Don't forget to check back in tomorrow for the final in the Point series, where we will be back in 2026 and we will see how Point has changed and evolved and what is happening right now!

P.S We may also have an 80's treat in store for you tomorrow!! 😂 Keep your eyes peeled! 👀

📇 From Rolodex to CRM…. How did we ever manage?! 😂

If you have been following our 37 Years of Point series, you will know we have been taking a trip back to 1989…

And for this one, we have found a little piece of recruitment history!

👀 The Rolodex in the picture is actually an original one we had knocking around here in the Point office!

Yes, before CRMs, databases, and LinkedIn, this was basically our candidate database. 📇😂

Back in 1989, recruitment meant:

📞 Landline phones – no mobiles, no Teams calls… and no caller ID!

📇 Rolodexes – carefully storing all those important contacts. Looking for someone? Better start spinning!

📠 Fax machines – because sending a CV down the phone line somehow felt like the future.

📄 Handwritten CVs – no Word templates, no PDFs, no “attached is my CV.” Just pen, paper and hopefully legible handwriting!

📕 The Yellow Pages – our very own business directory. Need to find a company? Start turning pages!

📬 CVs through the post or hand delivering them to clients – and then the fun of filing them away.

And if someone had said back then:

“One day candidates will apply for jobs on a smart phone they carry around in their pocket.”

We would probably have said:

“A what?!” 😂

Or…

“The internet? What’s that?” 🤔

Fast forward to 2026, and we have CRMs, online job boards, LinkedIn, instant applications, video interviews, AI, automated emails, and databases that can find a candidate or client in seconds.

And the legislation has changed too.

There was no National Minimum Wage in 1989 – that wasn't introduced until 1999. Since then, recruitment has had to keep up with huge changes in employment legislation, including equality legislation, working time regulations, agency worker rights, holiday entitlement, and GDPR etc.

📇 From Rolodexes to CRMs.
📠 From fax machines to instant emails.
📄 From handwritten CVs to online applications.
📞 From landlines to video interviews.

37 years of change… but one thing remains exactly the same.

❤️ Recruitment is about people.

And judging by the fact we have still got the Rolodex… we clearly don't throw anything away either! 😂

📍1989 - Where It All Began

Let's continue our trip down memory lane........ It's 1989, Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were topping the charts. Fashion included shoulder pads, power suits, and BIG BIG hair! and this was the year that Point Recruitment or should we say Point Personnel was born.

In the 1980's our founder Loraine Rance (pictured) had been working for another recruitment agency as a successful Recruitment Consultant. Having built a strong reputation in her then local area, she gained valuable experience and insight into the recruitment market. With that knowledge and experience, Loraine spotted a gap in the market in Huntingdon and decided to put everything she had into setting up her own recruitment agency, which she then called Point Personnel.

It wasn’t all plain sailing; recruitment is a tough industry and establishing yourself as a new business in a new town required resilience and a lot of hard work. Loraine's determination, drive, and vision ensured that Point Personnel/Recruitment was always at the forefront of the recruitment market within Huntingdonshire. As well as all the hard work, Loraine told us many funny stories that happened during those early days, whist establishing the business of which she was a founder and director for over 36 years.

Interesting fact: Some may or may not know, but when we first opened in 1989, we weren’t in office we are now, we had a small side door that led up to our office upstairs, the then Halifax occupied the office where we are today.

From one woman spotting an opportunity in Huntingdon to the recruitment business we are today, 37 years later, our journey has certainly come a long way.

Tomorrow, we continue our story… 👀

📍 37 Years of Point Recruitment, Then & Now

37 years. One location. So many stories.

To celebrate 37 years of Point Recruitment, we are taking a trip down memory lane.

Over the next 5 days, we will be looking back at the history of our home here in Huntingdon High Street, exploring what stood here before Point Recruitment, how the area has changed, and how our business has evolved over the years.

And where better to start than with a little glimpse into the past… 👀

📸 Take a look at this fantastic historical photograph of the High Street and our office! For anyone that doesn't know (and how could you not!), our office is where what was A Steadman in this picture.

Long before Point Recruitment was here, this was a very different High Street, with familiar local businesses, shops and plenty of activity filling the street.

It’s amazing to look at an old photograph like this and think about just how much has changed, while the location itself remains part of the local community, which we have been proud to have served for the last 37 years.

From then ➡️ to now, join us over the next five days as we look back at the journey of Point Recruitment Ltd and the place we call home.

37 years of recruitment. 37 years of people. 37 years of local history.

And this is where our story begins… 📍
