“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go.They merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein
It’s powerful what can be achieved armed with a quote. Reflecting back to the beginning of 2022 we were all searching for a way to rebound in the aftermath of the pandemic, this quote seemed very appropriate for Red Careers at the time.
Engaging the right mindset, together with determination to make our 20th year anniversary significant, gave us a definitive ‘start’ point. We were able to find a new direction, freshen up and remind ourselves that we are ‘good at this’ as we faced challenging recruitment predictions ahead.
Despite many hurdles, it has led us to an incredibly positive year of expansion and achievements.
Working in Partnership and outsourcing a recruitment service
Did you know a massive 73% of job seekers today are only passively looking for a job?
Traditional advertise and search is increasing less effective as candidates are being offered more opportunities without registering on job boards According to research, only 40% of vacancies are being filled this way.
This year over 70% of our placements have been made through our partnership service. Guaranteeing our commitment to your vacancy, we take a deep dive into your business culture and a robust approach in finding the right candidate. This method has successfully driven an 87% fill rate for us this year and saved our clients hours of time along the way!
Project Red is expanding globally
From remote rural locations in the UK through Europe and beyond, we have been fortunate to work on larger recruitment projects this year with some inspiring new clients. Our partnership service combined with our industry experience has propelled our ability to provide an effective talent acquisition service overseas as well as the UK; overcoming visa challenges, relocation and new job role territory. We’ve had great fun expanding our knowledge and virtually supporting businesses whilst traveling the globe from our office!
Leisure and Aesthetics vacancies on an increase
Adapting to change by developing partnerships and projects we have increasingly been asked to find other service related positions. Consequently 2022 has seen us expand our business to include leisure positions alongside hair and beauty, and deliver more niche positions in the Aesthetics sector. Moving forward, we are excited to share that these sectors will be staying, with a focus to develop, enabling us to broaden our support for your business.
Together with our refreshed website and the understanding that our present circumstances don’t determine where we go but where we start, we are looking forward to confidently stepping into 2023 continuing to provide recruitment support at the next level.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to all our wonderful contacts, clients and candidates. We could not have achieved what we have without your valuable support and trust in Red Careers during 2022.
