Human Resources News Update

July 2007 Recruitment and Employment Confederation

Recruitment is the biggest cause for concern for most UK companies according to the Recruitment and Employment Confederation. The survey of more than 100 employers found that more than half regard recruitment as their biggest problem, ahead of business strategy or management.

Pure have always aimed to take the hassle out of the recruitment process. We recognise that what we do is about much more than matching CV’s to vacancies. It’s about matching the right people to the right business.

We work closely with our clients in order to understand the needs of client HR and line managers so each role gets bespoke treatment. Our experienced consultants, all with professional experience in recruitment or the respective field they recruit for have unparalleled knowledge of the market.

This has afforded Pure to successfully complete 95% of our retained assignments this year.

Diversity Charter for Pure Recruitment Group

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate against current or prospective workers who have a disability or who have had a disability in the past.
Pure Recruitment Group aims to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments in relation to finding a disabled candidate employment. On registration all candidates are asked to make the consultant aware of any long-term physical or mental conditions that affect their ability to carry out day-to-day activities or hinder them in the process of completing psychometric testing.

Diversity and Age Discrimination
Achieving diversity pledged recruitment is key to Pure. During 2006 Pure introduced their new diversity policy ahead of the October 2006 legal requirement. On registration all candidates are asked to complete a Diversity Monitoring Form. This is then filed separately to their candidates records and no consultants have access to the individuals personal details for example their date of birth. Please click here for a copy of our registration documentation.

On all advertisements Pure use PQE levels purely as a guide to the minimum level of experience that we anticipate will be needed to fulfil the position. However, we are happy to consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary to fulfil the role and they will be considered on an equal basis.
 
Pure Recruitment Group Limited acts as an employment agency for permanent roles and an employment business for temporary roles.  Pure Recruitment Group Limited aims to promote diversity and equal opportunity through its work - we monitor and evaluate our performance on a regular basis.
