Synergy Personnel Services

SYNERGY PERSONNEL SERVICES – LEICESTERSHIRE LAW SOCIETIES NEWEST PATRON

Leading up to 2012 I had worked for and experienced all that recruitment companies had to offer both in the UK and Australia. I had seen enough of an industry which I concluded was falling short of clients’ expectations and was convinced I could do better. It was time to stop shaking my head at my desk and to act, to be able to offer clients something better, to use my industry knowledge and to set up a business that puts the client first in everything we do. It was time to set up Synergy Personnel Services.

I run Synergy with essential core values dictating everything that we do. I would summarise these in 5 key points:

1. Be friendly enough that a client would invite us for an informal lunch whilst professional enough for them to recommend us to their biggest customer. 2. Don’t be concerned with a USP, just excel on the business fundamentals (our values) - easy to do business with, accessible, passionate, smart, committed, trustworthy, honest and loyal. 3. To recruit into our business enthusiastic, dynamic and motivated staff who demonstrate and buy-in to our company values and to develop these individuals to fulfil their potential. 4. Listen to our clients and understand their needs. Our business is successful job matching not taking chances and wasting people's time. This ethos has allowed us to deliver an 82% success rate for job offers from first interviews. 5. Take yourself seriously enough so that you believe passionately in what you are doing but be prepared to smile, laugh and learn when it doesn’t quite go to plan.

I take great pride in boasting that Synergy is a recruitment company with a big personality, flexible, smart, evolving, client-focused and always easy to do business with. Expertise and success in different sectors has allowed us to develop our portfolio, and currently recruitment within the Legal sector is our largest growth area.

Synergy will provide you with a highly trained and dedicated member of my team who will quickly understand your business needs and have total clarity around the profile of candidates that you are seeking.

Imagine recruiting 81% of the candidates that you interview? That’s the target we achieve for our clients enabling them to spend less time thinking about recruitment and more time focusing on their core business.
