A recruitment company is celebrating substantial growth – expanding from two members of staff to 10 in just a year. Sky Recruitment Solutions opened an office in Huddersfield town centre in early 2021, starting out with an account manager and a coordinator.
Twelve months on, staff numbers have swelled to 10, with five employees taken on in recent weeks.
The new recruits are accounts co-ordinator Raymond Worby, contracts manager Alex Bull, account manager Macey Laverick, trainee account manager Danielle Hyland-Lister and Carl Thomas, who will be mechanical handling equipment (MHE) trainer, starting on March 21.
Sky Recruitment Solutions, which specialises in providing personnel for industrial roles, also has branches in Derby, Ripley, Mansfield and Burton-on-Trent, as well as on-site offices in Castle Donington, Huddersfield and Elland.
And the success of the Sky Recruitment Solutions brand doesn’t stop there – there are plans to open a further office in Bradford in the next year.
Shane Callaghan, regional business manager for Sky Recruitment Solutions, was brought on board to help establish the Huddersfield office.
He said: “I think the key to our success has been ‘going back to basics’. We look at the clients’ needs, rather than just putting bottoms on seats, and it works well. “We listen to candidates as well, to make sure the job is right for them. We have a fantastic retention rate, too. I also think, for our staff, it’s all about the work-life balance we offer – it’s not a corporate, mundane environment. We all work as a team and support each other in and out of work.”
