Apr 2008

2007 was a great year for Peoplefirst Recruitment.

2007 was also a great year for the clients and candidates that did business with Peoplefirst.

And why was this? To put it simply, we live by our name! The Peoplefirst family is made up of such a diverse collection of individuals, who are tired of the automated manner in which recruitment is now done. We have successfully brought back that human element that is so vitally missing from the industry; and we prove time and time again that we care about people, and most importantly, we listen!

So, 2008 has arrived, and what’s in store? Take a deep breath, here goes: The Harrogate office, which has seen such tremendous success, is growing at a rapid rate. As well as many recent additions, we are looking to bring 6 more people on board! That’s 6 more people on top of our existing dedicated team of experienced staff. Just think what we can achieve in a year with that! The sleepy town of Harrogate is not so sleepy anymore!

Our recently opened Sheffield branch, which has also enjoyed amazing success in its first year, has since doubled in size! It seems our South Yorkshire friends can do no wrong, as an ever increasing client and candidate base can testify! This got us thinking, with all this success, we should really start thinking about opening ANOTHER office somewhere. But, where?

The answer is Manchester! That’s right! We are happy to announce the opening of our new office in Bury; we are all extremely excited about spreading the word of Peoplefirst even further afield! We have developed so many good relationships with clients of all sizes; and we are glad to be able to continue our service with them and also develop new relationships along the way! But won’t the whole feel of the company change, now it’s getting bigger? Not at all! We wouldn’t change our values; we believe in people being the priority at all times. We are not numbers or statistics, we are people helping people, simple as that!
