One of the UK’s largest recruitment agencies, Smart Solutions, is celebrating the success of its growth into the region with its latest branch launch in Worcester.
Due to significant business growth and demand, the recruitment agency has enhanced its service offering by opening its newest office in Kings Street.
As an all female led team, the Worcester branch will be celebrating the social, economic and cultural achievements of the women they work with, including their clients and recruitment candidates. Specialising in the industrial, manufacturing, aerospace and engineering sectors, the team is keen to promote recruitment opportunities for all.
According to EngineeringUK, ‘as of 2021 women still remain in the minority, comprising only 16.5% of those working in engineering roles compared with 47.7% in the workforce overall’. Whilst in the manufacturing sector, women make up just 26% of the workforce (ONS, 2021).
With their 46 years combined recruitment experience and 94.5% candidate retention, the team is excited to be able to grow this service in Worcestershire, offering temporary, permanent and fixed term contracts.
Celebrating the branch opening with the team, Smart Solutions Operations Director Kerri Lunnon said: “The team is already very busy and looking forward to making many more connections in the Worcestershire area. This is a positive milestone for us as we expand our footprint and offer more job opportunities for the local community.
“A good recruitment partner is a huge asset, especially in these current times where recruitment in general is so challenging. We are able to provide flexibility, helping to take some of the stress away so that business owners can focus on the day to day running of their company, with a full workforce.
“We thought it was very fitting to be celebrating the official opening of our new branch so close to International Women’s Day. Contributing to a world that is diverse and inclusive is something we all feel strongly about and we see many more opportunities for women in the sectors that we work in.”
Smart Solutions’ secure online portal enables both candidates and employers to experience the full recruitment process virtually, through its workforce management platform. The local knowledge and expertise of the team based in Worcester will provide added benefits to those looking for job opportunities and businesses looking to fill a recruitment gap.
