Recruitment on the Coast

Recruitment on the Coast – Relocating to the South Coast!

Moving to the South Coast is an attractive proposition for those who are looking to get away from the bustle of the larger cities and closer to the seaside. With some of the most beautiful beaches in the UK, the South Coast has the perfect balance for recruiting and relaxing!

Cities such as Portsmouth and Southampton and towns like Bournemouth, are currently thriving; with modern shopping complexes and high-street stores, quirky pubs and seaside bistros, there is a mixture of the old and the new.  There is also one of the most desirable towns to live within England, which is Winchester. Winchester is a traditional, quaint town with riverside walks, winding streets and independent shops and cafes, all within a short commute to Southampton. The South Coast is perfect for anyone who likes water sports, hiking and the outdoors. As well as long sandy beaches, there is plenty of natural beauty around, including The New Forrest, a National Park known for it’s historic past and wild trails. The Jurassic Coast is also in close distance, one of the world’s heritage sites.

And, it could be a great investment, with house prices rising year on year, it is becoming a sought-after area to buy property. If you’re looking to relocate with a family, there are excellent schools across the South, some of the UK’s leading Universities and a thriving student community.

Business is continuing to buzz across the South Coast as there are some huge company headquarters based there. The recruitment industry is currently flourishing in Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth as companies are taking a more relaxed approach to recruiting. The South Coast is a perfect location for work-life balance, and many of our clients are encouraging this. With the opportunity for flexible working, a generous holiday allowance, a laid-back culture and relaxed KPIs, these companies are rewarding their employees with a mature environment.

The South Coast is still well linked to the more cosmopolitan cities of London and Bristol, taking around two hours to get there. There are also international airports meaning that you can travel further afield. Or, you can stay closer to home and have a weekend away in Somerset or Cornwall.

Today, Permanent People turns 13.
Apparently, that means we’re now officially a teenager.
 
So, I’m expecting slightly more attitude, questionable fashion choices and for nobody to listen to a word I say.
 
When I started the business in 2013, I certainly didn’t have a detailed 13-year plan.
 
The aim was fairly simple: build a good recruitment business, work with people I liked and do things in a way that felt right.
 
Over the years, Permanent People has grown and changed more than I could have imagined.
 
We’ve gone from being predominantly UK-focused to placing recruiters across Europe, the USA, Australia, Asia, the Middle East and South Africa.
 
We’ve built relationships with more than hundreds of recruitment businesses.
 
We’ve helped recruiters move sectors, step into leadership roles, relocate across the world and, in some cases, completely change the direction of their lives.
 
We’ve also remained profitable in every year we’ve traded, including Covid and several recruitment markets that could politely be described as “character-building”.
 
And we’ve built a name and brand for ourselves beyond what I could ever imagined.
 
But the part I’m proudest of is the way we’ve grown.
We’re still a small, close-knit team.
We still care about getting the right outcome rather than simply making the quickest placement.
 
And we’ve never tried to become something we’re not.
 
A huge amount of the credit goes to @louisecooperreid, @loveshoes1981 and @beelong83 who have helped shape Permanent People into the business it is today.
 
There have been brilliant years, difficult years and a few months when I’ve refreshed the company bank account more often than was probably healthy.
 
But 13 years later, I still genuinely enjoy what we do.
 
I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has worked with us, trusted us with their career, introduced us to somebody or simply supported the business along the way.
 
Permanent People is now entering its teenage years.
 
Wish me luck.
 
p.s. Just had a placement confirmed for a recruiter in Houston, if you’d told me that 13 years ago I’d of questioned what you were drinking!
