Now more than ever, it is critical that we are listening to our clients and tailoring our services to help meet their people challenges.

After 27 years in recruitment, we have never seen a more candidate-driven market making it one of the most challenging times to be an employer and to attract and retain talent.

We have developed a portfolio of recruitment solutions aimed at ensuring our clients have the people they need to succeed, delivering talent in markets with 100% employment. Our Talent Partnership Solution is designed to give our growing clients the ability to hire in such markets by providing a sustained approach to targeting the non-active candidates in the market.

However, with the current market challenges the immediate path ahead may be less clear but strategic, and senior hiring remains critical. MDM continues to deliver individual retained search assignments across many sectors including the Financial and Professional Services Director level upwards.

So, if you're looking to make a strategic hire and would like to talk to us about how we can deliver, then please reach out to us today.

MDM Consultants have been delivering retained search assignments with a 100% success rate through our tried and tested, unique process model.

This year we hope to share thoughts with our network, so we have decided to create a new series on our socials filled with advice and tips from the team at MDM Consultants Ltd!

To start our new series off, we thought it would be a bit of fun to begin our first edition on Valentine’s Day, a day known for celebrating new relationships😍

Recruitment and Valentine's Day may seem like vastly different concepts, but they actually have a lot of similarities when it comes to finding the right match.
Here are just 3 points on how recruitment is a lot like valentine’s day!

❤ 1. The search for the right match: Just like finding the right match for you, to find the right candidate for a job you need to search for the one who aligns with the job description and company culture the best. The same goes when searching for a new role, you may be trying to find the perfect new job for you amongst a world of opportunities, it is important to choose the right next step for you.

❤ 2. Making a good first impression: In recruitment, the first impression of a candidate is crucial. Similarly, on Valentine's Day, you want to make a good first impression on your date. Whether it's through a well-crafted CV or an impressive outfit, as the saying goes you never have a second chance to make a first impression…….

❤ 3. The importance of compatibility: In recruitment, it is important to ensure that the candidate is a good fit for the company and the team they'll be working with. Perhaps you are a candidate who has been to their first interview, and is now planning to arrange the second date, can you see yourself fitting well with the company long-term?

Today is

Time to Talk Day is a campaign run by charities MIND and Rethink Mental Illness in partnership with Co-op. The day is about creating supportive communities amongst friends, family, and colleagues, and having a safe space to have conversations about mental health.

The campaign was first launched in 2014, to end the stigma and discrimination associated with Mental Health, and continues to raise awareness, by encouraging us all to support ourselves and others.

For most, a large proportion of our day is spent in the workplace. Therefore, creating a safe community at work is important when it comes to employee well-being. We encourage you to empower your colleagues to seek help when they need it, and at other times to be a supportive network and a listening ear.

With sadness we announce today is our fantastic Operations Director, Abbie Watson's last day working with us at MDM Consultants Ltd.

Abbie has been a crucial part of the team over the past 4 years, originally joining us as a Talent Consultant, she has ventured into many aspects of the business such as; becoming our marketing manager; then onto a senior account manager and an amazing talent partner to two of our TPS clients.

"I am so proud of her and know that she’s going to go on to do amazing things with my continued support as always" - Mark Martin.

Abbie will be hugely missed by the whole team, but we truly know that this is not goodbye, just farewell for now!
We wish the best of luck to Abbie in her future ventures! 🙌

From the MDM team⤵

▪ "Abbie has not just been a colleague but has been a fantastic friend to us all. Since the beginning of my MDM journey, Abbie has been super supportive and taught me a lot about all things marketing, recruitment, and life in general! She is a real inspiration and truly cares about helping others to succeed" - Hannah Westhead

▪ "Abbie has been an incredible support from day one, regardless of her immense workload she makes time for those who need it. She's already helped so many in her career, both professionally and personally. I believe there is very little she can't do" - Ben Reavill

▪ "Abbie would teach a man to fish rather than show a man how to fish. Her ability to enhance our knowledge and processes has made us all better recruiters" - Danny Hanslow

If last year taught us anything it was that the talent market is drastically changing. In 2022 we saw open vacancies surpass unemployment rates for the first time in almost 50 years!

In fact, 41% of people feel that being adaptable to change is one of the most important interpersonal skills for their organisation over the next 12 months.
This statistic was taken from a study called ‘The Talent Time Bomb', which discusses all things recruitment, and shares some valuable insights.
