If you've been thinking about a move but keep putting it off, September is when it pays to have already started.

Businesses ramp up hiring as soon as the summer slows down, and the best roles rarely stay open for long.

Getting your CV, references and availability sorted now means you're ready to move the moment the right role appears, instead of scrambling to catch up.

Send your CV to [email protected] and let's get you ready.

From October, trade unions gain a formal right to request access to your workplace, both physical and digital, to meet, represent, recruit and organise workers.

Employers will have 15 working days to respond, and a structured negotiation process if terms can't be agreed straight away.

This is a genuine shift in how businesses need to manage union relationships, and it applies whether or not you currently recognise a union.

We're keeping a close eye on this so you don't have to. If it affects your workforce, get in touch.

Most people accept the first offer they're given. Most people are leaving money on the table.
A salary conversation isn't confrontational, it's normal, expected and usually welcomed by employers who already want you.

Before you negotiate:
• Know your market rate
• Know your minimum, not just your ideal
• Ask questions before you ask for more

The worst thing that happens is they say no. The best thing is you never wonder what if.

September is one of the busiest hiring months of the year. Budgets reset, teams get restructured and projects that were paused over summer suddenly need resource fast.

If you wait until September to start your search, you're already behind.

We're already speaking with candidates now who are quietly looking for their next move. Getting ahead of the queue means getting first access to the best of them.

Let's start the conversation before the rush hits.

Vehicle Technicians Needed (D1 Licence)

We’re on the hunt for mobile vehicle technicians with a D1 entitlement on their licence (passed your driving test before January 1998) meaning you can drive vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes AND minibuses.

This is a mobile role for a fleet maintenance company, so you’ll be out on the road, and occasionally driving a school minibus to and from the workshop. We’re looking for mature, reliable techs who can handle that responsibility.

Know someone who fits the bill? Refer them to us and if they're successfully placed, you'll get a £100 Amazon voucher as a thank you! 🎁

From 1st October, employers become liable for harassment of staff by third parties, customers, clients or contractors, unless they can show they took all reasonable stops to prevent it.

That's a higher bar than the current 'reasonable steps' standard, and a single incident is enough to trigger liability.

If your staff face the public, in retail, hospitality, healthcare or customer service, this is worth reviewing now, not in October.

Agency staff are covered too, which means your policies need to extend beyond your permanent team.

Got questions about what it means for your business? Let's talk.

Hiring permanently is a big commitment, and getting it wrong is expensive.

A temp to perm arrangement lets you trial someone in the role before making that commitment. You see how they work, how they fit the team and whether the CV matches reality, before signing a permanent contract.

It's lower risk for you and often lower pressure for the candidate too.

If you've got a role you're nervous about committing to, this might be the answer

August might feel like a quiet month for job hunting, but it's actually the best time to prepare.

While hiring slows down, use the time to:
• Update your CV and LinkedIn profile
• Reconnect with contacts you haven't spoken to in a while
• Get clear on what you actually want from your next role

September brings a wave of new vacancies as businesses return from summer and start planning for the rest of the year.

Be ready to move when it does.
