International professional recruiter Advantage Professional has recruited Jamie Newton as head of its HR recruitment division across the South of England.

Newton has over 10 years’ experience recruiting at all levels of HR, with a special focus on mid to senior level roles. Throughout his career he has worked with a variety of clients across the legal, financial services, energy and retail sectors.
Newton will work in partnership with Advantage Professional’s Manchester office to develop the company’s national HR offering. In addition, he will be working alongside the company’s other divisions, including marketing, finance and Crone Corkill Business Support to offer clients an increasingly multi-disciplinary service.

Alex Raubitschek, Advantage Professional’s operations director for HR, says: “Jamie has a formidable reputation within the HR recruitment market and we’re exceptionally pleased to be welcoming him on board as an HR team manager. At a time when the market is offering opportunities and challenges in equal measure, he has the experience and ability to drive the team forward, to the benefit of clients, candidates and colleagues.”

Skill-based hiring can have ugly consequences – what can go wrong?

Skill-based hiring (SBH) is a hiring strategy that focuses on recruiting and selecting candidates based primarily on their demonstrated ability to perform each skill required for the position.
