Multi-sector recruiter Now Recruitment has inducted its second group of trainees on its graduate training programme.

The firm completed its second round of interviews and assessments in December and has offered two trainees permanent positions at its Birmingham and Newcastle branches.

Trainees can specialise in one of the firm’s specific disciplines – construction, accountancy, education, trades and labour, mechanical and electrical and rail.

Since the scheme’s launch last September, the firm has taken on seven graduates at branches in Birmingham, Newcastle, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

Elsewhere, Jon Evans has joined Now Education as branch manager in Cardiff.
