UNIVERSITY REVIEW
“We have recently started working with Spirehouse, when our existing framework agencies were not able to provide us with suitable candidates for recent HR roles.
From this experience, I have found both Jack and Luke to be extremely hard-working, creative and responsive and able to find credible applicants for a range of HR roles. So far they have today placed a candidate successfully in a short term appointment here in the University.
We will be looking to work with them further on the basis of our positive experience to-date."
Deputy Director of HR Services
SPIREHOUSE REVIEW
We were able to provide suitable candidates quickly thanks to the flexibility of the University.
The hiring manager was open to candidates from a range of industry sectors and able to offer hybrid working as well as flexible hours. Furthermore, interviews were conducted at short notice. Most recruiters will agree that speed and flexibility are key to ensuring a successful hire in the current interim market.
Despite common belief, the contract market remains extremely buoyant and it’s rare that candidates do not have multiple employment opportunities lined up.
Organisations must show flexibility and move quickly if they are to secure the best interim talent.
Jack Sharpe, Head of Human Resources Recruitment
