We've spent 10 years in recruitment and, honestly, we've seen it all.

Candidates accepting jobs on the beach.

Hiring managers wanting the perfect person by yesterday.

People describing themselves as "excellent communicators" before disappearing for three weeks.

And enough coffee consumed to keep a small city awake.

As part of our 10-year celebrations, we've put together 10 things we've learned from a decade in recruitment.

Some are serious, some are slightly painful, and most are very relateable if you've ever hired someone or looked for a job.

A few highlights:
👉 Interviews are basically first dates.
👉 Culture beats perks every time.
👉 The best candidates are usually the ones who say they're "not looking".
👉 Nobody really knows what "competitive salary" means.

And perhaps the biggest lesson of all... People matter. Always.

Whether you're looking for a way to pass the time until England kick off tonight, you're genuinely interested, or you just fancy an insight into life as a recruiter, give it a read.

10 Years of Glu Recruit! 🎉

A whole decade. Ten years. 3,650 days (give or take a leap year or two).

Today we're celebrating 10 years of Glu Recruit, and whilst we could talk about growth, milestones and business achievements, what we're most proud of is the people.

The incredible clients who have trusted us. The candidates we've supported through career-changing moments.

The partnerships we've built. The events we've attended and hosted. The awards we've won. The team outings, the laughs, the questionable fancy dress choices, the inside jokes and the memories we've made along the way.

It's a cliché, but Glu really does have a family feel. We've shared some brilliant moments over the last 10 years and we've been lucky enough to meet some genuinely amazing people who have become a huge part of our journey.

A massive thank you to every client, candidate, partner and supporter who has played a role in getting us here.

And an even bigger thank you to the Glu team, past and present, who turn up every day, give it their all and care deeply about what they do. You're the reason Glu is what it is.

And finally, none of this would have been possible without the leadership of Rob Shaw.

Ten years ago, Rob started Glu Recruit from his conservatory with a simple ambition: to do recruitment differently. A decade later, it's safe to say he's achieved that and a whole lot more.

A leader, mentor and friend. The man who keeps us updated on the latest music trends, supports us through the highs and lows, backs us when we need it, flexes for us when it matters, and has built a business where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

From a conservatory to 10 years of success, partnerships, friendships and memories - what a journey it's been.

Here's to everyone who's been part of the story so far... and to the next chapter of Glu Recruit 💙.

Isn't it typical?

We launch Reggie in a deckchair, ready to kick off our summer campaign... and the UK immediately decides to lash it down 🌧️.

That said, our point still stands.

Whether the weather agrees or not, many employees will soon be heading off on their summer holidays.

So ask yourself: How many people are on annual leave over the next few months? And more importantly, what impact will that have on your business?

And if several key people are off at the same time, who's covering the workload?

Temporary recruitment isn't just for holiday cover.

Many businesses use temporary staff to:

✔ Cover annual leave
✔ Manage busy periods
✔ Support projects
✔ Access specialist skills
✔ Trial new positions before making a permanent hire

If summer leave is already causing a few headaches, we're here to help.

We're delighted to be partnering with the wonderful team at The Cupola, Visitor Centre & Kitchen, a true hidden gem nestled in the heart of Stoney Middleton ✨.

Known for its warm welcome, beautiful setting and delicious homemade food, The Cupola has become a much-loved destination for locals and visitors alike.

If you've ever visited, you'll know it's the kind of place that makes people want to stay a little longer.

As they continue to grow, they're looking for two special people to join their kitchen team:

👨‍🍳 Cook

This is an opportunity to be part of a friendly, supportive team where quality, care and community are at the heart of everything they do.

The ideal person will have a genuine passion for cooking, enjoy working with others, take pride in creating great food, and bring a positive, down-to-earth approach to the kitchen.

Leadership experience would be beneficial for the Cook position, but above all, they're looking for someone who cares about what they do and enjoys being part of a great team.

📍 Stoney Middleton
💷 £15–£17 per hour
⏰ Full-time | 40 hours per week | 5 days out of 7

The weather’s heating up…and according to our Chief Talent Forecaster, so is the candidate market 👀.

We've registered 220 candidates this month alone.

From sales and marketing to finance, ops and customer service - we’re seeing a real influx of brilliant people exploring new opportunities across South Yorkshire.

And here’s the interesting bit, a lot of them aren’t desperately job hunting, they’re just open to something better.

✨ Better culture
✨ Better flexibility
✨ Better leadership
✨ Better communication

That’s what a candidate-led market actually looks like in 2026.

So if you’re hiring right now, a little reminder:

It costs absolutely nothing to interview our candidates alongside your direct applicants.

Need support filling a role? Now’s probably a good time to start the conversation before the hottest candidates get snapped up.
