Our Culture: We have a strong culture that underpins our business with clear Vision and Mission statements as well as a defined set of Core Values. Our culture is integral to how we do business and how we interact with colleagues, clients, candidates and contractors. Another key part of our culture is our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive working environment that allows our people to share their innovative thoughts and suggestions to help shape our business and future successes. Moreover, we also encourage and engage in numerous corporate social responsibility activates whereby all our offices contribute through volunteering and charity initiatives several times a year.
- Our employees – we hire the very best candidates in the market, train them to a high level in a specific industry, motivate them in a range of different ways, not just financially; stock ownership is a major incentive - currently 24% of our staff are shareholders and over 90% of these staff are recruited at entry level. We also train and develop our employees and allow them to develop the career path that best suits them as individuals; we do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach to learning.
-
The pro-active methods – we boast a very impressive and broad
client list. Consultants do not spend their time cold-calling
managers, instead, we strategically target organisations we wish to
work with and build relationships with clients which are more akin to
a partnership. This state has been achieved by focusing our efforts on
finding and attracting the best talent in the market. Allegis Group
does not wait for applicants to apply, preferring instead to target
the passive job seeker on behalf of the client
Experience within the field is not necessary, although sales or commercial experience is beneficial.
This opportunity would suit an entrepreneurial individual with drive to succeed, and the desire to be the best at whatever they do.
