The Niche Partnership

Did you know... the calendar emoji ( 📅 ) shows “July 17” because July 17th is #WorldEmojiDay ?? 🤯 And now another (semi-) serious question for you: How much should accountants use emojis (if at all)? 📊💼😄 Obviously, keep NUMBERS precise! A spreadsheet is for the utmost accuracy and clarity. But what about other stuff? A Teams message to your finance colleagues? A comment on your company’s LinkedIn post? An email to an accountancy partner? 🤔 Maybe we’re biased because we’re all about HUMANISING recruitment, but we think emojis absolutely have their place in the way we all communicate in a digital world. As long as it’s an appropriate context!  Swipe through to read our pros and cons of using emojis in the world of finance, and let us know if you agree or completely disagree!👇

SUMMER DEBATE 🤜☀️🤛 Ice cream or ice lolly? 🍨🍧 I can’t decide! It’s either wet fur, or sticky fur! DECIDE IN THE COMMENTS! 😀

Hedgehog beds, feeding baby birds, and landscaping! 🦔🐣🚧 (three perks of becoming a The Niche Partnership client... 😉) We utterly loved our day at Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital – it was perfect for a team-building session and a chance to do something a little different with some of our wonderful partner companies. Plus, supporting a local charity is always a good thing! We can’t wait to return for our next visit later this year. 🗓 (is it weird to secretly want the hedgehogs to remember us??)

Recruiters need a lil break sometimes. 🥂 We’re celebrating our excellent Q2 with some well-deserved after-work drinks!  It's great to unwind and bond outside the office... ...but we’ll save the Boom Battle Bar axe-throwing outings for when alcohol isn’t involved. ⚔️ Where’s your fav after-work drinks spot? 💬

“Employee surveys suck, so we fixed them” - Paul Johnson MCMI and Fraser Duncumb MCMI That’s the mission statement of a business we love working with, Wotter – Live employee insights. We love HUMANISED recruitment and a generally more humanised approach to everything 🤝 Therefore, it’s important to get real, honest feedback from our team, and Wotter does that in a modern, effective way. It’s an app that offers completely anonymous opportunities for employees to give feedback to their team and management. 💭💭💭 It might sound obvious but... ...everyone thrives in a happy workplace!

What's the ULTIMATE job flexibility? Yes I'm going to mention it again, my 6-month sabbatical across Asia has gotta be up there... 😅🌏    Pure adventure.   Genuinely, words can't describe it!    And to know I had my same job at TNP waiting for me when I returned... 💙 I've realised that job flexibility and benefits are some of the most valuable elements of any role.    That's what struck me about this new Management Accountant role that I'm sourcing for – the benefits and flexibility:    ⭐ Flexible hours  ⭐ Life assurance  ⭐ Pension of 5% employee, 9% employer ⭐ Discounted gym memberships ⭐ Private medical and sick pay ⭐ Free onsite parking ⭐ Hybrid working, with 2 days in the office and 3 at home ⭐ 25 days annual leave plus 8 days bank holidays   And one of the best bits – this global manufacturer in Fareham is open to applicants from any size company, not just OTHER global companies!   If this 12-month fixed-term Management Accountant role appeals to you, then LET'S TALK. 💬💬💬    Swipe to read a little about the role, and message me or The Niche Partnership to find out about applying.    #financerole #financejob #accountancy #hampshirevacancy #hampshirejob 

Our 3 tips for a happy office dog! 👇 1. Biscuits.  2. Thrown.  3. Into Lenny’s mouth are always very welcome 😉 Fraser Khosravi is the official doggo Mental Health Ambassador at The Niche Partnership, but his wonderful colleague, Lenny the labstaff, is just as talented!  Does your office have a resident biscuit-catcher like ours? p.s. Lenny is currently being fostered by Rebecca and you can drop a comment here or message her if you’d like to chat about adopting him 💙

We loved meeting this candidate. 💙    It’s interactions like this that prove how important it is to remain ‘human’.    We’re not robotic, and we don’t like robotic processes. 🤖    The ‘Niche way’ means HUMANISED recruitment, as we believe getting to know the individual person is truly the most effective way to find their perfect role. 

Things you love to see The Niche Partnership Thank you Ben Khosravi & Matthew Thick, another class gesture – I would have been as fresh as a daisy without the lie in and morning off though🤥 Let’s hope they really do bring it home!!
