At Human, we understand that finding the right candidate to grow and develop your business is an important decision. We also understand that it can also be a process which is just as daunting for business owners as it is for the eager candidates arriving for their first interview. As recruitment professionals it’s our job to make the process as easy and pain-free as possible, both for business owners looking to fill their vacancies and individuals looking to take the next step on their career ladder.  When those needs match, it can be the beginning of a long and successful relationship; it’s an important decision for all concerned. Earlier this year we were approached by a global medical device manufacturer, which was having difficulty finding skilled candidates for a number of roles in the business. Each role was varied and required very different skills and experiences – ranging from event and exhibition management roles to sales support. Over the course of the year, we helped the company to not only find one skilled candidate but five: All of whom have settled well into their new roles and already forging careers with the business. As the year draws to a close, we thought we’d share some feedback we received from some of those successful candidates: “Human helped to ease the pressure of looking for a new job – it felt like I had someone fighting in my corner and it was refreshing to feel that my needs were being put first. They are professional yet personal: I even received a good luck on your new job card from them. They constantly kept me in the loop and updated: They gave me the perfect start to the newest chapter in my career. It’s a great place to work and I’ve met some great people” – Robert, Event Logistics Co-ordinator “Within a few hours of applying for the role I received a call from Human. They asked me about my work experience, my skills and a little about me. After this they gave me more information about the role and I was intrigued and wanted to find out more, we arranged to meet that same day.” “The ladies at Human contacted me asking how my interview went and just a few hours later I received another call from them saying they would like to offer me the role. I have never been so happy to receive a call!” – Hannah Exhibitions Co-ordinator “A friend of mine told me about Human Recruitment, so I gave them a call, we arranged to meet the following day to go through the registration details. Amy and Caroline have been brilliant throughout. They listened to what was important to me and found me a position that was perfect and only 5 minutes away from home, they kept in touch with me throughout the whole process, made me laugh and made my job search enjoyable. “I would like to say a huge thanks to them for everything!” – Jane, Customer Order Processor All five candidates placed by Human have continued to flourish in their new roles, and perhaps the positive comments we have received illustrates that recruitment isn’t simply about helping a business to fill a vacancy, but perhaps it’s more important to find individuals who can grow and develop in their new roles.

We all have to be Super Human at times and deciding the Who, What, With, Why and When can be a tough choice to make but when the drive/support is passionate throughout the company it’s wonderful to know that you can make a difference with a couple of quid during business hours. As both Amy and I are from South Yorkshire we love getting on with the day job helping both local businesses and candidates achieve their goals but at the same time having the opportunity of supporting local and national causes. From sponsoring the Rotherham Football Sunday League (Human League), running a Macmillan Coffee event raising an amazing £197.04 to our latest venture Soup-er Human, an event we held last week to support Rotherham Hospice. With the help of some amazing people Reece of Urban Pantry Deli in Sheffield, the team of Moorhead Savage (Pauls’ culinary skills showcased in his amazing Minestrone Soup) and Tesco in Rotherham to name but a few, through selling soup, rolls and cakes to occupiers and visitors to the Moorgate Crofts Business Centre we raised £140.00. We have also been proud to be involved with Grimm & Co and falling under their spell to encourage both children’s imagination & writing skills made volunteering to run their recruitment campaign for free an easy decision. We also attended LEAF 2015 which was held at Magna last month, presenting employability skills to teenagers and supporting job seekers find a direction and support in securing work. To close the year of 2015 we are holding Afternoon Tea around the Tree on Monday 14th December again in support of Rotherham Hospice but also, as we are a drop off point for Mission Christmas Cash for Kids this will be the final drop off day for unwrapped gifts for the HallamFM campaign before we magically become Christmas elf’s and deliver the gifts to Alan Ogle and his Super Human team. As mentioned in my previous blog, time really does fly when you are having fun whilst doing a job you can’t wait to get into the office for but also having the opportunity and encouragement to be able to make a difference throughout the community (Miss World quotes finished J) Helping change doesn’t always have to be about giving money, an hour of your time a month or holding a sponsored dog walk all adds up. Stay tuned for more information about this, our February event. I am proud of what we here at Human Recruitment do alongside the day job and long may it continue! If you would like to know more about our Super Human approach or are a charity looking for support with recruitment please contact us: superhumans@recruithuman.co.uk 01709 717212 or 01143 990085

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2015 News: Super Humans recruit magical beings By Tom Austen   A Rotherham-based recruitment consultancy is donating its services free of charge to Grimm & Co, a magical charity opening a workshop in the town centre.Grimm & Co works around the region and aims to unlock imaginations, engage, enthuse and inspire children and young people in the literary arts. It aims to create a fantastical retail destination in Rotherham to inspire children to work without knowing they are working, and increase participation in literacy projects through a creative writing and mentoring centre.Human Recruitment, based in RiDO’s Moorgate Crofts Business Centre, has pledged to support Rotherham charity Grimm and Co, offering their recruitment services free of charge to source a volunteer co-ordinator after the charity benefitted from a boost in funding through the Big Lottery Fund earlier this year.The volunteer co-ordinator role has been developed to give someone the opportunity to become a part of the budding charity, help develop their brand and oversee a range of duties including recruiting new volunteers and sourcing stock, to arranging events and participating in workshop activities. Since 2013, Human Recruitment has supported some of the largest businesses in the region to find the right candidates to join their workforce, as well as supporting local community initiatives and good causes through sponsorship and fundraising. With a sprinkle of fairy dust and a magical potion or two, the quest to find a valiant volunteer co-ordinator has begun. Work is continuing at the former Town Gate pub on Doncaster Gate where volunteers have been on hand to help with renovation work that also includes a beanstalk slide and secret doors. Deborah Bullivant, director at Grimm and Co, said: “Winning the Big Lottery Fund was a great achievement for us. It means we’re able to fund the recruitment of a volunteer co-ordinator and issue specific training for the role. We knew we wanted a respected, trustworthy recruitment agency to help us find the right person, and Human Recruitment fit our brief perfectly. “Opening the new store is a huge job for us this year and it gives comfort knowing Human are supporting us with the recruitment side of the business. We rely on volunteers to help inspire children to create through writing and literacy and the volunteer co-ordinator role is designed to manage our volunteers and the day to day running of the workshop. “Our organisation aims to inspire the young people of Rotherham to participate in literacy activities and finding the right person is essential. Human has a track record of providing a professional and truthful approach to recruitment and we are pleased they are a part of our venture whilst kindly offering their services free of charge.” Amy Stephenson, founder of Human Recruitment, said: “At Human Recruitment, people are at the heart of our business. From day one of launching, supporting the local community and charity initiatives has been at the forefront of our business model. “When we were offered the chance to recruit for Grimm and Co it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass. They are a charity based in the heart of Rotherham hoping to inspire and promote the benefits of literacy to young people. Human is honoured to be supporting this charity during an exciting time in their development.” Grimm & Co is still in need of volunteers as the fit out continues – from prop makers and builders to painters, planners and literacy mentors.
