Stakeholder Comment

03 March 2010

Martin Thomas, head of BT recruitment
“Agencies are adding value right now by keeping us up to date with what is happening in the market. We look for agencies to fully understand what the roles require that they are recruiting for and to take the time to understand BT and its specialisms. It is really important that the people that we engage with work with us as a recruitment team.”

James Calder, director at Macildowie Associates
“The first quarter in 2010 has seen a marked increase in the number of HR and training opportunities across the East Midlands. This is in stark contrast to the difficulties many people experienced last year. The recruitment marketplace has changed and is now in a very different place to how it was 12 months ago.”

Jean Tomlin, director of HR, London 2012
“We have chosen to work with a small number of HR recruitment agencies. The ones we have chosen differentiate themselves from others through their approach in developing good business partnerships with their clients, their wide network, access to great candidates and through their commitment to diversity and delivering results.”
