Sometimes the most useful thing a recruiter can do is provide practical advice.  It’s easy to assume that clients and candidates alike are comfortable and competent video callers.  What we have found is that we are all learning and that a laugh and a joke can go a long way when things don’t go as planned.

Reflection

What a month March was.  We were building towards a great first quarter and then on 20 March everything was postponed or cancelled and that was that for about a month. 

We are very excited to welcome Judith Roach to our business as our new Office Administrator! She will be working alongside Jan Down to support the business in our many and exciting recruitment projects.   Judith is a FCIPD qualified HR professional with many years' experience at a senior level managing complex HR issues in both the private and public sectors.

Once again we have passed the Compliance Test with flying colours and have confirmed our status as a REC Member.

We all know, it’s all about balance… right? Work-life balance is a phrase used by almost everyone. It’s a phrase that people use to explain why they are enjoying roles and why they are not, it’s used by people to explain their business and their dream roles. It’s a phrase that gets used so regularly that sometimes people overlook the true value of real work-life balance.

The balance is different for everyone, people and families have unique needs and demands, therefore the ‘balance’ needed is different for individuals. The most important in achieving a healthy work-life balance is putting in the time to achieving it. It takes businesses who understand the needs of individuals’ and trust employees to make the call for themselves. It requires managers who can see when people are burning out and support them to take a step back and focus on living. It takes teams who support each other to achieve, and who recognise the cut off point for a day’s work.  Above and beyond is great, but it cannot be at the expense of everything else. Learning to stop and focus on all aspects of your life, whether positively or negatively, is an important skill that takes people time to learn, but delivers a sense of wellbeing which is so valuable.
