  Finding staff is a time-consuming and labour-intensive business! We provide a cost effective service using our many years of experience in this area. We proactively seek fresh candidates and don't just 'recycle' CVs. We get to know your requirements, your business and the team that the candidate will be working with before we pre-screen candidates to ensure that they are the best fit for your role. Give us a try and we can remove the hassle factor, leaving you free to focus on running your business. We also provide an HR administration service for Case Managers, Deputies and Trustees. Once we have found the right candidates for you we can deal with onboarding, offers and contracts as well as any day to day or occasional HR issues that might arise. Show less
