Moving into February, Permanent People is gathering pace with new vacancies in recruitment coming in every day, bringing a revolution to the jobs market in the area. Just yesterday we had three new positions arrive in South Wales, showing that the good recruitment people of Cardiff and Swansea are recognising us as the premier agency
Had to write about this. We have all been there, bored of listening to clichéd stuff from people who think it’s impressive to use jargon when simple words would be better, and more interesting. Have a look and see if you are guilty as charged, or know someone who is!! www.londonlovesbusiness.com/lifestyle/london-culture/are-you-social-not-working-or-blue-sky-drinking-the-uks-worst-office-jargon-nick-hewer-video/7274.article?utm_source=Sign-Up.to&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=17719-208628-24%2F01%2F2014+Subscribers+newsletter Well, were you?
We consider ourselves recruiters. Whether we are recruiting in London, Cardiff, Liverpool or Newcastle, what we do is the same. Deliver a good service to our clients and candidates alike and treat them as we would want to be treated. We have been in both situations. As an hiring manager, we have had rec-to-rec’s spec
Six months in to the life of Permanent People and we are proud to be recognised as one of the fastest growing recruitment agencies in based in Cardiff. We cover the entire network of the UK, with vacancies in Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, London, Nottingham, Bristol and Leeds. Recently, we have had a couple of new
None of us really want to lose our job, despite how much sometimes we might not enjoy it, at least it pays the bills. There are some unlucky souls out there who their employer just felt that they could no longer employ them, but for some very strange reasons. So for a bit of a
There’s quite a few rec-to-rec agencies out there, across the UK, and they all do what they do well. But what if you’re a recruitment professional looking for a local rec-to-rec in South Wales? Where do you go? Does an agency, however good they are, really understand your needs and the geography of where you
Previously we have posted good and bad examples of CV’s (view previous blogs – https://www.permanentpeople.co.uk/category/permanentpeopleblog/) and today we have come across another very creative CV which really emphasises the candidates strengths, experience and background in a familiar setting which those of us that shop on-line will know. It’s a simple idea but that’s what
We all look through job adverts and specifications, through CV’s and the vital profile part. We’re used to hearing ‘buzz words’ and varying terminology explaining and summing up what is great about the person or the role, and lot of different job search jargon when looking for the right position or candidate, but what does
We all have a job title, most are self-explanatory, Cook, Driver, Shelf Stacker, Manager, you get the picture. But over the years, there has been a rise in creative titles for jobs that really don’t need them. For instance, if you were to go and get lunch from Subway, you would be served by a
Every now and then, we all get ill, it is unavoidable and sometimes we have to take the day off work. We rest up, get better and return to work healthier. No big problem there. Our employer can cope and it’s better than you spreading your germs all over the workplace. But there are some

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!!
