What a year so far !
Here at Epitome we have had a fantastic year so far, Quarter
1 was our best quarter to date and May is looking like being our best month. So
imagine our delight today when we received a letter to let us know we have been
shortlisted as finalists for the Recruitment Innovator of the year at The Irish
News Workplace and Employment Awards!!
We are so pleased to be shortlisted as this award
acknowledges the fresh and new initiative which we are championing here in
Northern Ireland.
Having worked within traditional recruitment agencies for a
combined 25 years the consultants in Epitome are passionate about our new and
modern approach. We are moving away from the traditional and becoming a trend
setter, introducing a new model of managing recruitment campaigns.
But differentiating yourself in an overcrowded market can be
a hard task, just think of the CVs you receive when advertising a vacancy, we
see it every day with the applications we screen. Candidates can be very
inventive to make themselves stand out from the crowd, they might use coloured
banners, different fonts, larger fonts, pictures of themselves, and logos of
the companies they have worked in, I
even had someone put their job title as “Time Traveller” this week and his name
did not start with The Doctor!
So understanding how hard it can be to ‘stand out’ we are
thrilled to get this recognition and be short listed in such a coveted
competition. The best feedback however is that from our customers, we receive
calls each week from new companies who have been referred by existing clients, companies who are bored with their
traditional methods and need to try something new.
We hope that the year continues as it has began, we will
keep on preaching about our ‘different’ approach to recruiting and hope that
all our followers keep their fingers crossed that we move from nominees to
winners at the Awards in June!
Now on that note.....what will I wear....
