Just over three months ago, I ventured into the unknown to start Permanent People, with the idea of trying to make a small difference in the world of recruitment. That does sound clichéd I know but after working in the industry for over ten years, I thought it was time to try to shake things
As it’s Friday, we thought it would be a nice way to end the week by sharing some interview answers that are from the very top drawer. We all get a bit nervous when interviewing, but some of the things that people come out with are…honest to say the least, but maybe not the best
We all see a lot of CV’s and recently we have posted what we think is the best and possibly worse CV’s that we’ve ever seen (see previous blogs). We thought we would take a moment out to have a look at some things that candidates have written on their CV’s, some of which I

We started the week with a look at a great CV, so we thought that we would end it by showing you a…unique CV! It is fair to say it is eye-catching and gets your attention, but we will leave it up to you to decide if it is a winner or not… http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1325379/original.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/09/03/my-little-pony-resume-cv_n_3859818.html&h=776&w=600&sz=123&tbnid=K3VH6Rm2k3vnUM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=70&zoom=1&usg=__C9nhP1O9QtTg78at_iTUBLl0y9s=&docid=FmV8MfME1b5N7M&sa=X&ei=w2lzUsfpCeGx0AX5lIGICw&ved=0CDQQ9QEwAQ
Working in recruitment, it’s always interesting to hear about good jobs and also, the bad ones. The nosey part of us likes to measure ourselves and see what fortune/misfortune others have, what they earn and wonder whether we could do that. On the list, there isn’t a lot of what most of us would call,
We see a lot of CV’s here at Permanent People, but this take on writing one breaks tradition and showcases the individuals talents as well as making it interesting for the reader. It just shows you what you can do if you think a bit differently… Enjoy! http://www.rleonardi.com/interactive-resume/?utm_content=buffer45cdf&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer#!
Exciting news this morning at Permanent People, as Director Paul Reid, has attained the Membership of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals (MIRP) accreditation due to his extensive career within the recruitment industry. Being awarded MIRP status underlines an individuals recruitment professional experience within the business and is sanctioned by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC).
Good news this morning with the ONS (Office for National Statistics) reporting an increase in the number of people in employment across the UK with 155,000 more people in work. It would seem that it’s a good time to be looking for a new job and Permanent People are perfectly placed to help find those
For most of us, leaving a company where you’ve worked for a while is a big decision, probably only surpassed by buying a new home or changing a relationship, it’s a big deal. There are lots of reasons to stay in your current position, you’re comfortable there, you get paid enough to cover the bills,

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!!
