University of Lincoln Careers & Employability

Temporary and permanent local recruitment company limited by geography rather than by industry sector or field of employment.

Number of employees: 10 people working in the Newark and Grantham office as well as all of the temporary employees who are working in the client companies.

The company has been set up for 5 years now by Cameron Ford (Director). They have experienced steady growth and a second office in Grantham soon to be followed by a third in Lincoln.

• Unlimited career potential to work within the company and help to take the company forward.
• The company offers a staff pension scheme.
• The company is small but has the structure of a larger company to coincide with its ambition.

• Recruitment Consultants – building the business through selling. Recruitment consultants also conduct psychometric testing, and interviews and all are put through the appropriate training.

• Within the company itself, the only roles for graduates to enter would be as recruitment consultants.
• The company does have many graduates on temporary contracts for clients – sometimes junior/ middle management vacancies.

• The company would possibly consider taking on a student/ graduate on work experience/ voluntary work placements for recruitment.

‘Graduates vary enormously. The ones that are employable are those that can communicate and can think more corporately. Many graduates are out of touch with reality, and are very often not able to articulate themselves very well at interview. They can find it difficult to understand that it is experience that employers want not just a degree. I would say that on the whole, the ones that have actually worked while they are studying are much more adjusted to the reality of the just what it is to work and are much more likely for employers to recruit once they have graduated.’
