Internships, a title often met with severe conjecture in the world of business and a phrase often thought to be more detrimental than actually useful, but here at Permanent People we don’t have time for any of that noise! Starting the day at 7 sharp(ish), bright eyed and bushy tailed, I had my tour of the

Early success for recruitment role
Permanent People is still in its infancy but we have already experienced success in recruiting for a couple of roles for some very established recruitment companies. The way things have started for us and our approach to recruiting in an honest and straightforward way has underlined that we feel we are already making a difference
Agency tricks
At the end of this week, my first in my new office, I received a call from a bloke trying to find out if I could help him out with his recruitment requirements. Now on the face of it, this seems great, however as the business is very new and we haven’t advertised anywhere, it

9 days to go!
With just nine days until Permanent People officially launches, it’s been a busy week involving a trip to Merseyside, new clients on board with new vacancies around the UK and getting the website ship-shape. It’s amazing how quickly everything has come together and just shows you what can be done if you put your mind
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
