James Gibbs, Group Managing Director at RE Recruitment, takes a look at how stepping outside of your comfort zone and doing something di­fferent can have real benefits for your business.

As a recruitment company, here at RE Recruitment, we are known to do things a little differently to traditional recruiters. We are proud of how we take an innovative approach to the way that we work and are not afraid to step out of our comfort zone and try something new. And with two recent developments, we believe that our e­fforts are really paying o­ff.

Firstly, following a rigorous tender process, we have been named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s recruitment framework. The Crown Commercial Service supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services.

For us, it means that we will be recruiting for Senior Manager and Director level positions, across a range of government departments.

Secondly, our selection as one of only two UK recruitment agencies to be awarded the licence to recruit overseas workers under a Temporary Visa for the poultry industry. It enables us to recruit personnel from inside and outside the EU without the need for workers to be part of the Settlement Scheme.

Supporting an important British industry during its busiest time of the year The Seasonal Worker visa route is a new government initiative so organisations in the poultry supply chain can recruit overseas workers.

RE Recruitment has been supporting the Poultry sector with staffing solutions for over 20 years and was chosen following the DEFRA RFI and Home Office endorsement process where we demonstrated our high standards and e­ffective service to the sector.

We are proud to be able to o­ er this service to our clients, who will benefit from the opportunity to hire skilled candidates from all over the world.

As the employment market in the UK continues to shrink and with labour shortages across multiple sectors, we have taken a bold step and opened our first overseas office. The new office in Bucharest, Romania will help us source seasonal temporary workers for the poultry industry. Bucharest is also home to one of the largest Universities in Europe, giving us access to graduates who may be looking to work in the UK under the Government’s Settlement Scheme.

We are always looking for new ways of doing things and this is just another example of that.

We pride ourselves on delivering the very highest standards of service to our clients and believe that this has been recognised with these recent wins for our business. As an independent owner-managed company, RE Recruitment has grown by building a reputation for commitment and service excellence. We could easily have continued to operate within the comfort of the recruitment world we know – but by challenging ourselves and through the hard work and dedication of the whole team, we have proved that a local independent recruitment company can succeed at national and international levels.

In recruitment you need to use innovative approaches to reach a variety of audiences and cater for their varying needs; one size does not fit all.
