Changes to Business as Usual

COVID-19 shocked the global recruitment market. However, we are lucky to have experienced internal growth over the past year that is reflective of the expansion we want to see as a group going forwards.

Planning for Recovery

So, what’s next for the recruitment space? We asked Victoria for her thoughts on how recruitment companies can best plan for recovery from COVID-19.

“Hiring needs to be at the forefront of recruitment companies’ plans now. A lot of businesses have scaled back, but getting headcount to where it needs to be should be front of mind.

My advice to other recruitment companies would be to start growing your teams now"
