There’s no shortage of action across all our sectors. Although the market remains candidate-short, projects are still going ahead and our recruiters are still filling roles. We’re seeing a lot of demand for administrators, with professional support staff playing a key role in supporting businesses to navigate the ever-changing and covid-dependent work environment. From a construction point of view, buildings still need to be built. Construction clients are doing an excellent job at managing staff availability, tight time frames, and pressures on access to materials. It’s been great to see that temps are being well utilised, with their flexibility being invaluable during these times.

We’re still encouraging candidates to get in touch with our recruitment experts even if it’s just for a chat. The focus is less on ‘box-ticking’ and more about engaging with good candidates and talking through what they want; clients are more than happy to negotiate salary, benefits, and working arrangements for the right person. We have a lot of roles on offer at the moment, so if one role doesn’t seem like the right fit for a candidate, there will be another one that suits.

To keep up with the amount of roles being called in, we’re on the lookout for more recruiters to join the One Eighty family. Our recruiters come from a range of different backgrounds, with each individual team member bringing their own unique talents and skill sets to the table. The diversity in age, culture, and experience within our team has been incredibly valuable in all that we do — from enriching our own knowledge as individuals, to influencing the way we work with clients and candidates. We have a number of work anniversaries coming up too which we always celebrate. Staff longevity is valued highly at One Eighty and we offer a range of long service benefits to our dedicated staff; it’s just a small way we can show our appreciation for their commitment and loyalty. Our new office is also in the process of being fitted out and will hopefully be ready in the near future. The space has been designed to reflect the modern way of working, with an emphasis on virtual-friendly meeting rooms, dedicated spaces for candidate screenings, and breakout areas for phone calls and meetings. With the team continuing to grow at a rapid pace, expanding our premises needed to happen. If you know of anyone, experienced or inexperienced, who may be interested in a role in recruitment then get in touch. 

With Easter fast approaching, now is the time to either advertise your role or apply for a new one. Our clients and candidates are still seeing recruitment success despite all the differing external factors currently at play.
