First impressions play an important role in the recruitment interview process, especially in a ‘face to face’ interview. Interviewers will make assumptions about professional credibility and potential performance based on how you present yourself.

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!!
