Likewise, any Clients looking to recruit by contacting Sarah you are giving yourself the best possible chance of success.

When asked about her first couple of weeks here at A&C, Sarah had this to say,

“After a busy two weeks settling into the new Role within A&C I’ve learned a great deal and the new systems and procedures are all falling into place. The team seems a great bunch. Everyone has been extremely helpful (& patient) as I’ve had plenty of questions to ask & I am looking forward to an exciting future here at A&C, overseeing and growing a successful Commercial Division.”

Sarah readily admits that the recruitment industry has been one of the hardest hit during the Covid-19 crisis. There is, however, she affirms, some light at the end of the tunnel……

  • History tells us we are likely to bounce back quickly. This is a pandemic, not a full-blown recession. The mini-recession caused by the virus, unlike a typical recession (which is characterised by a long, slow economic downturn) involves a very sudden but short lived drop in the economy followed by a rapid bounce back.
  • Recruiters will play a leading role in economic recovery. We are the backbone of the jobs market meaning businesses and even the government will be looking to us for help in re-building the economy.
  • Recruitment will be very interesting when this is over as we switch to a job-lead market. Some of those gold dust candidates who have ignored roughly 100 calls will suddenly be much more receptive. It is likely home working will become a regular arrangement as it has been proven that flexible, remote working is doable in most industries.
  • We will come out the other side stronger-with less recruiting to do and fewer calls to make. Us recruiters have spent time educating ourselves, building our personal/company brands, and self-development.

Stay safe and look forward to speaking with/working with you all in 2021.
