The Recruitment Industry
10 years ago the UK recruitment industry estimated that it was worth somewhere in the region of £9 billion. Revenues generated in 2004 were in excess of £24 billion, yet less than 30% of UK business regularly use the services provided by recruitment agencies. Clearly the scope for further growth is enormous as more businesses become aware of the benefits provided by companies like Concept Staffing. The CBI estimate that by 2008 the recruitment industry will double in size to £40 billion.
Previous economic downturns forced companies to focus on more cost effective recruitment policies and to explore more flexible staffing arrangements. Professional recruitment businesses, in particular those like ourselves, with a network of branches throughout the West of England, are in the strongest position to take advantage of these new employment strategies. Add to this another of our strongest selling points, the fact that we offer the broadest range of recruitment services, we feel confident that Concept Staffing will capture an ever increasing share of the recruitment market, and achieve substantial further growth.
- Temporary Recruitment Services
Employers increasingly appreciate the significant financial and strategic advantages of flexible staffing, maintaining a level of permanent staff to cope with normal workloads and using temporary staff to assist with extra orders, sickness, holidays or special projects. Growth in this sector of the market is assured.
Skill shortages and increased recruitment costs make our Permanent recruitment service an attractive proposition for any client. There are distinct advantages like ‘no placement - no fee' and we have the ability to find candidates who aren't looking to change career path. Our clients have no way of identifying these people other than hoping that they see an advertisement in a local newspaper.
With a successful track record in growth and an enviable client base including blue chip clients such as Tyco Electronics, Cadbury Schweppes, Toshiba Information Systems and Heinz, we offer Franchisees the opportunity to be part of a winning independent group.
