500 new jobs in September for recruitment firm

Frontline Recruitment, the careers firm with offices in Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and Mansfield, has posted a record month after placing 524 new candidates into jobs during the month of September.

The figure is a record for 2016 and 34% more than the same period in 2015

Tony Wilmot, director at Frontline Recruitment, said: “Our figures are a perfect reflection of employers’ reliability on the flexible workforce to help accommodate seasonal demands and peaks and troughs in their customers’ demands.”

He added: “It just goes to show how important a flexible workforce, correctly managed, vetted and screened is to the UK economy and its productivity.

“We know that the workforce in the East Midlands is very adaptive to change and we have the knowledge and contacts to tap into that pool and fulfil the staffing needs of our clients in the area.

“These new figures go to show that we’re fast becoming the go-to agency for flexible employment, and that candidates are seeking more flexible ways of working.”

The news comes on the back of expansion for Frontline Recruitment, which last month merged with free-to-use website staffbay.com.
