What to do if you’re still furloughed?

Firstly, before I start this blog, I think it is important to reflect on and be grateful for the situation some of us (those who are furloughed) have found ourselves in. Whilst we may all be craving normality it is important that we take a step back and appreciate our managers, employers and the Government […]

How to prepare for redundancy

In a somewhat unknown economic climate, it’s difficult to predict what the UK economy will look like once the majority of government support schemes end. Since starting my career back in 2009, and opening a recruitment agency in 2014, I have always found the job market buoyant, with redundancies rarely heard of outside the public […]

Is it a good time to recruit?

As a result of the Wuhan-born outbreak, it is reasonable to assume that (if not already) lots of us will be working remote until further notice. Therefore, I have put together a guide to help us all stay motivated and focused during a […]

How to adapt recruitment during the coronavirus pandemic?

Earlier this week, the World Health Organisation labelled the Wuhan-born coronavirus a global pandemic, affecting businesses, schools and governmental organisations. With widespread political, medical and social uncertainty, it’s natural that employers will fear for future recruitment processes and employment measures. Working in recruitment myself, it’s very clear that businesses are reluctant to proceed with hiring […]

Should I use a recruitment agency to employ staff?

As a recruitment agency owner, you’d probably expect me to say “yes every time” but actually more often than not, at Thompson & Terry Recruitment we say to clients that they probably don’t need to use an agency to fill their vacancy. We are all experts in our profession and will probably know our businesses […]
