What a year so far !!

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....
