Orme, a former chief executive of creative, digital and marketing recruiter Major Players, said to avoid labels of “sharks in suits” and “little better than estate agents”, recruiters must be “purpose-driven”.
“Purpose is directly linked to how people feel about your business. It decides how much passion, energy and creativity employees invest each day — translating into a powerful motivator that’s stronger than a pay packet,” he later told Recruiter.
“Recruitment firms who engender a purpose-driven, customer-focused and innovative culture will keep up with the relentless pace of change because their people will be inspired to dream up game-changing innovations.”
