Marmion

Happy birthday to the man behind the scenes, Angus! We hope you have a fantastic birthday, and that your smile is as wide as it is here, all day!! Thanks for all you do, best wishes from Team Marmion 🥳

Two birds with one stone at The NEC, Birmingham... Jonny McPartland CertRP and I had an action-packed day yesterday, attending both the Recruitment Agency Expo and Fleet & Mobility Live! We had an insightful day at the Recruitment Agency Expo, met some potential suppliers and came away with fresh ideas and new strategies to implement back here at Marmion HQ to help elevate our service offering to our clients. From tech-driven solutions to people-centric approaches, the future of Marmion looks exciting… 👀 A nice surprise seeing Jack Robson and the team from VAAAS , and nice to bump into Christina Robinson who I met at the RECSCAPE Recruitment Leader Summit last year! 🚗🚚 Since Fleet & Mobility Live was happening right next door, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to gain some further insights into an industry we do so much work in. It was great to see firsthand how much the fleet industry is evolving, especially with the ongoing advancements in EV and technology. We’re proud to work with some of the leading providers in fleet management - it was nice to see our friends at Jaama Ltd and some of our contacts in the fleet industry. Great to see you Richard Evans James Ryan Collette Dooley - your stand looked amazing! The highlight of my day: bumping into the one and only Jason Fitzgerald after too many years! Despite the 50 mph restrictions the whole way there and back it was a day well spent...maybe Highways England could do with spending some time at the Fleet & Mobility Expo 😅 #Networking #Recruitment #RecruitmentInnovation #FleetAndMobilityLive #TheRecruitmentExpo #BusinessGrowth

It’s true, we care very much about what we do and the role we play in placing candidates with our clients. Consistent intelligent effort goes into placing people who are both capable and want to join our clients for all the right reasons. However, it’s a joint effort and we value the investment our clients make in making sure we understand their needs, so that we can succeed too. This feedback tells us we are doing things right…. “It was a pleasure as always working with Marmion - this was the second time I've worked with Matt & Lewis to fulfil a vacancy. The team is incredibly friendly and clearly care about delivering great results for employers as well as candidates.” Ronan - Thank you, Ronan, for such kind words. It was great to work with you on a second placement. We look forward to offering continued support in your future plans for growth.

As Children we are told to dream big, a message that can fade as our age and responsibilities grow. No. 005// “We aren’t afraid to think big, big ideas lead to big results. Without ambitious goals and ‘blue sky thinking’, we limit our opportunities. At Marmion we are comfortable out of our comfort zone, and we look for solutions and a pathway to reach not just our objectives but also our clients, no matter how big they are! #WeAreMarmion #Affirmation #CoreValues

Hiring the right people is important in all organisations, but especially in SME’s where team dynamics play such an important role. During a normal week we spend 45% of our waking hours at work, so if we’re unhappy it can have a significant negative impact on our wellbeing. Investing in your recruitment process to build a strong cohesive and collaborative team is a key component in establishing a positive workplace with happy employees. This in turn contributes to a more productive, creative and involved team, that enables you to reach your businesses potential. If it’s not the people who are making you unhappy, it could be the job – so perhaps this #HappinessAtWorkWeek it is time to make a change! If you would like to find out more about how we can help with team dynamics or your next role, email us hello@wearemarmion.com #WeAreMarmion #Recruitment #HappinessAtWorkWeek #InternationalWeekOfHappinessAtWork

Are you looking for a reliable, ethical and trustworthy recruitment agency for your next vacancy? We take great pride in the long-term partnerships we develop with our clients, such as Force 24. "Of the 20 years I have been hiring in tech companies I have never been more impressed than in my recent dealings with Marmion! We had several crucial roles across our customer success, technical support and sales teams that we had to get right and get right quickly. Not only are we delighted with our new hires but what really impressed us was the quality of any candidate put forward due to their rigorous screening which meant we ended up eliminating our previous 1st stage interviews – saving us a lot of time! We especially appreciated how they came to spend time with us in the office to get a real sense of our culture and really cared about making sure we found the perfect match…again and again!" Victoria Hamblin, Former Customer Success Director, Force24 If you would like to find out how we can assist with your next vacancy, please get in touch. hello@wearemarmion.com #WeAreMarmion #RecruitmentAgency #EthicalRecruitment

Our values are underpinned by our tagline – ‘Understanding People First’. Many recruitment agencies are using automating CV scanning tools to make things more ‘efficient’ or dismiss CV’s without reading them. In our opinion it’s really lazy and disrespectful to candidates who take the time to make applications. Taking away the personal connection with candidates at the first stage of the job application process can mean missing out on the best people for the job. That’s why every submitted CV is read by our trained Recruitment Team, who because they understand the vacancy requirements, know what they are looking for in a CV, even if some of the information in the CV is missing. Not only do they understand people, but they understand business! We spend time getting to know our candidates and only recommend them for interview if we believe they are potentially right for the role. #WeAreMarmion #PeopleFirst #Recruitment

Job hunting can be a lonely place without the right support. At Marmion, we want you to know you’re not alone.

You don’t need to be concerned because they’ll reassure when needed and prepare you to be the best and most efficient for the interview. HIGHLY recommend them.’ Nalain – Trustpilot five-star review After all, when you feel more secure and confident you’re more likely to succeed at interview – just like Nalain. Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendation. #WeAreMarmion #RecruitmentAgency #NewJob

When someone new joins your business, do you tell them who to contact in an emergency? And, as an employee, can you remember the person responsible for First Aid? It’s a simple thing, but often forgotten in the onboarding process This is a valuable life skill, so there is no disadvantage to First Aid Training for as many people in your team, regardless of industry or job type. https://lnkd.in/eEZjmfnx Today is #WorldFirstAidDay, where ‘British Red Cross’ are encouraging everyone to turn an 'empty' minute into one that could make a difference to someone's life. Find out how you can get involved with quizzes revealing the information needed to care for someone who’s hurt. Many employers will support you with first aid training, so ask, especially if you are the designated First Aider and think a refresher course would help. #WorkplaceFirstAider #WeAreMarmion

We understand that running a business is like trying to win a game of chess—whilst the board is on fire!🔥 Fact: Only 10% of UK companies are older than 20 years, and more than half of those going into liquidation are younger than 4 years. As a private business, we know that the only way to survive is not to assume that just because we're established we can rest on our laurels. As chess players (preferably without the flames!), securing our future is all about making the right moves—most importantly, finding people who share our passion for sustainable and intelligent business practices. Soon to enter our 10th year of trading (still can’t believe we’ve made it through all the turbulence) we know that having ethical values underpinning everything we do works. Doing what's right is how we approach every search for our clients. Their business is our business. We learn about their history, take time to understand their vision, and work in an uncompromising fashion to ensure that the people we place want to be part of their long-term future. A people service isn’t perfect, it never can be, but we try very hard. Hence our extraordinary results in terms of retention of candidates placed! There's nothing more satisfying than watching both our clients grow and seeing the candidates we’ve placed getting promoted! As a team, we want to see the companies who’ve trusted us with their hiring go beyond 20 years, and if we remain consistently focused on our core values, we’ll be right there with them! If you feel you're not getting the best out of your existing recruitment service or need help we'd love to introduce something different that adds to your business's future. #BusinessGrowth #SustainableRecruitment #BuildingForTheFuture
