On my travels…

As the launch of the company gets closer, I’ve realised how many people are out there who will genuinely help you for no reason other than they are nice! It’s good to know there are others around who can offer invaluable support and advice when getting your company off the ground. As part of the on-going development of certain areas, this meant a long day yesterday travelling to Merseyside, but it was really worth it, got some fantastic advice from some very knowledgeable people.

Things have really moved on this week for Permanent People and our first clients have start to take advantage of the service we offer, you can view the vacancies we’re recruiting for in the ‘Jobs’ section of the site or on the link on this page.

It has amazed me with some of the horror stories I’ve heard from clients regarding their experience with some recruiters. We’re not solely a R2R (a recruitment agency that specialises in recruiting recruiters!!) but is part of what we do, so when speaking with some contacts this week I heard some of the (or worst depending how you look at it) stories in a while.

My own personal experience with R2R’s is that it’s a mixed bag. Some have been really good to deal with, professional, know their candidate well and others, well…not so good.

When I was looking for a new role a while ago, I spoke with a few and most of them after taking down what I was looking for, never spoke to me again, ever! So it’s no wonder that recruitment sometimes gets a bad rep.

All of this has made us here at Permanent People more determined to succeed and it has galvanised our belief in that our approach is the best one. PR

Today marks Permanent People`s 11th year in business, a milestone we`re very proud of.

Since we opened our doors back in 2013, we`ve been through lots of ups and downs, learned a lot and developed some great relationships throughout the recruitment industry.

We now operate across the globe, and have helped lots of recruiters find their new roles over the years. Some are now clients, others have relocated to a new country and we`ve also seen people get married and grow their families, which has been great to see!

The way we`ve always wanted Permanent People to be, is to take things personally and care about the people we work with, and we`re extra proud that this still runs through our DNA today.

If we treat people as we would want to be treated, give great service and actually, genuinely care about what we do - then I believe this is what has set us apart over the years.

Personally and professionally, this year has been a tough one, so we`re really glad to have a great team in place that have been able to support each other and get on with things!

A company is only as good as the people that work within it, so on that basis, with Gemma Hill, Beth Long and Louise Reid in place, we are a world class business, and I`m very lucky to work with all 3 of them.

Here`s to the next 11 years!!

Celebrating 5 years of the FABULOUS Louise Reid on our Team 🧡 🥳

Louise heads up all of our European hiring needs and actually made the move herself 3 years ago when she set up home in Amsterdam 🏠

She’s a creative bubble of positivity and smiles! Clients and candidates form a loyal friendship with her, and over the years she’s become your ‘go to girl’ for matching both with their individual needs.

She is an instrumental part of the team and we’re SO lucky to have you! Here’s to many more happy, successful years 🎉 🍾
