Quality recruitment expansion

focus for most manufacturers, but over the last few years they have had to adapt and introduce a more flexible workforce, which brings with it a host of new and significant challenges,” explained Simon Francis, group quality director, G&P. “However, our specialist recruitment services help these companies flex up, quickly and cost-effectively with the right people for the job. As our service removes many of the headaches associated with traditional in-house recruitment, it’s not surprising that we’re having to scale up our own operation accordingly.”

In the last 12 months G&P’s recruitment team have helped manufacturers fill more than 600 permanent, temporary and contract vacancies across 60 sites.

Simon Francis added: “Many of our customers have found that it is much more of an employee’s market, rather than an employer’s one in recent times, and have therefore struggled to attract and retain good candidates. With this shift, we have seen a subtle but definite increase in the demand for permanent placements which gives customers direct access to our global pool of qualified and experienced talent for every level of their organisation.”
