Specialist Nottingham recruitment firm to create city centre jobs
A Nottingham specialist recruitment firm says it wants to create up to 15 jobs next year after setting up in business in the city centre.
AppointX fills senior manager vacancies in the healthcare sector, and now it has a Wollaton Street base, its owner says it is ready for expansion.
Speaking to TheBusinessDesk.com, Howard Green, chief executive of the company, said: “I know the social care industry inside out, and it is currently experience a major staffing crisis with a shrinking talent pool. Our approach differs from the majority of recruiters, we don’t use job boards or CV databases, instead we headhunt all of our candidates having mapped the market.”
Green has worked in recruitment his entire career. In 2005, he walked into a recruitment company – Brook Street – to get some temporary work and ended up working as a recruitment consultant in its Social Care division. He then worked for Robert Half for two years in its finance division, before moving to the Middle East. After that, he set up a small recruitment business, from which AppointX was eventually formed.
Green added: “I know the social care industry inside out, and it is currently experience a major staffing crisis with a shrinking talent pool. Our approach differs from the majority of recruiters, we don’t use job boards or CV databases, instead we headhunt all of our candidates having mapped the market.
“Healthcare is the number one sector globally for job growth. This will provide opportunities for us to expand internationally.”
AppointX has five staff at present, but Green says he wants to create between 10 and 15 jobs by the end of 2018.
He said: “2018 will be about building the team. This will be our biggest challenge but we will be putting significant resources into attracting the best people possible to AppointX.
“We have a satellite office in London, and we aim to open offices in Scotland and Wales within the next 18 months. Following that, we will be focusing on emerging international markets where the attitudes to social care are changing – China being the obvious one.”
