Retail Assist Work With Advent Careers

Retail Assist provides outsourced IT services to the nations retail sector, from help desk support and data centre management right through to business and technical analysis. In staffing such a diverse operation, HR Manager Rae Hayward has very clear ideas on the type of individual she wants to bring into the organisation.

We are always keen to recruit enthusiastic, self-motivated people who can think on their feet and are not afraid to make decisions, explained Rae. It has not always been easy to identify people with these qualities through existing recruitment processes.

When Advent Careers approached Rae offering a free recruitment service, she was very interested in the proposition although not simply because the service was free.

I immediately saw the benefits of sourcing candidates from this particular pool of individuals. I realised that anyone who was resourceful enough to finance their own IT training programme was likely to fit in well here at Retail Assist.

Rae summed up her experience with Advent Careers by saying. I have been very impressed with the quality of the candidates. The Advent Careers team understands what we want and only sends through people who have both the skills and the personality to work here.

The service we have received has saved me a lot of time, effort and money and I will certainly be in contact when I need more staff.
