Furlough

Posted by | 1st July 2021 | Uncategorized

So today apparently marks the beginning of the end of furlough for over a million people.

This is going to be scary times I feel for a lot of peeps out there who are now going to have to return to work under the conditions of the employer.I think that the boot returns to the other foot again as usual.Probably mean also some people sadly losing their jobs as the employer will cherry pick and also the little chats about returning to the office.

What fun lies ahead in the employment market and the general condition of the economy will be shown warts and all.

Be safe guys and I return to normal I hope for all of us.

I have recently returned to recruitment following a period over nearly 18 months when I was forced to leave due to the problematic issue of Covid 19.

I know even hate to say the word it fills me with fear as to how it has effected the world so much it actually scares me.

So I started working in supermarket delivery for a well known company and I have to say it was quite a journey in more ways than one.

So I now have guns like a weight lifter and my knees,back etc are knackered because of all the lifting.

Anyway I have survived or at least I thought I had until I stepped back into recruitment,so it has been just over 10 days and it is a journey which I knew would be tough but this is a complete other paragraph in the book.

I have been using a cv datatbase and generally the most common phrase I have heard is “I don’t do that anymore”,it is scary to have heard that statement so many times.

So collectively we have to make changes and make the industry more welcoming and attractive to bring the talent back as well as to entice it for the future.

Thoughts and comments are welcome and good luck to all involved.

Have a great 2021,Christmas is just round the corner !!

Recruitment update

Posted by | 13th June 2020 | Uncategorized

So just wanted to post in regards to phone calls that I have been receiving for jobs being advertised for MDR Limited.

Since the start of lockdown I have been furloughed and so not presently involved with the business.

The adverts you have seen via Indeed and Glassdoor are re-posts of old jobs and these positions are not available at present.

I have not and do not advertise with these companies so please I can confirm that I have no live vacancies at present.

Apologies if you feel misled but I am unable to assist on that as not in my control.

Going forward when I am actively recruiting I will be in a position to help you and me for that matter.

Be safe everyone and we will get through this.

Regards

Mark Duffey

Candidate Testimonial 
“As I was looking for the next chapter in my career I contacted Mark who was professional and personable from the first phone call. Clearly very experienced in his field his main goal was to understand what I wanted from a job and match me to a suitable vacancy as oppose to just choosing a semi suitable job. It was a very tailored experience and felt like I had full support throughout for anything big or small”
I have no hesitation recommending and will certainly be using Mark’s services in the future.

Midweek update

So here we are another hump day in January is over so all of you on Dry January or Veganuary,well done nearly there only another 9 days to go before you can gorge on steak and chips and red wine by the box !!

Though seriously if you are well done to you so far a lot of will power needed.

Anyway we have record employment apparently which is great but makes being a recruiter very tough as no-one wants to leave and if they do they want a salary increase of at least 30%,well good luck with that.

I am working on lot’s of great jobs at present,so if you are looking for a new challenge then get in contact.

See the link below to see what is out there for you.
