Graduate Information & Jobs

Permanent People are recognised, as one of the leading Recruitment-to-Recruitment (Rec2Rec), companies in the UK and Internationally.

When speaking with our recruitment clients, a large number of them operate a model where they hire Graduate and Entry-Level Recruitment Consultants into their businesses. The reason for this is mainly that they want to employ intelligent people with a certain list of character traits, and mould them into the successful ways of working that have seen them become reputable within the recruitment industry, with market leading training.

There’s lots to look forward to with a job in recruitment, from earning amount of money, company incentive trips, a social and fun working environment whilst working in an industry that rewards hard work with career progression – it’s like running your own business!

We have recently teamed up with The Grad Hub, which offers an Online Marketplace for Graduates, covering everything from where to find a job, accommodation, banking, events and also a buying/selling service between students and graduates. So it really is a one-stop-shop for those looking for tips, help and advice.

The Founder of The Grad Hub is an experienced Marketing professional named Rohan Verma, whose background and experience from various different ideas, has resulted in him launching The Grad Hub in September 2018. He writes and excellent blog on his journey to today, which demonstrates his perfect position and passion to wanting to help Students and Graduates, from all walks of life. Here’s a link to that very blog  https://blog.thegradhub.com/ 

In great synergy, and with the aim of helping people find their way in the world, Permanent People are delighted to be working alongside The Grad Hub, and hopefully providing everything you will need.

Both our Social Media pages offer even more of an insight, so follow us here for all kinds of updates:

In particular, The Grad Hubs Insta page offers an opportunity to apply for discounts to events and concert tickets, along with roles with all kinds of businesses, from Miss Selfridge, Bravissimo and of course, Permanent People!

More insights into recruitment and what we’re thinking

Our thoughts

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!
