Notts recruitment firm still ‘open for business’ during lockdown

Since moving into the Old Town Hall at the beginning of the year, Halo Recruit Limited have gone from strength to strength.

Following the council’s refurbishment, Halo became the first tenants in the impressively renovated building, and their new central location has allowed them to reach out to more unemployed people than ever, until the pandemic hit.

Currently working with the NHS supply chain, along with cleaning contractors and other essential employers, they are very much open for business during lockdown, despite their offices being closed.

Hayley Aldread, director of Halo Recruit said: “We currently have a large number of essential vacancies to fill, such as cleaners and production operatives and, although we can’t do face-to-face registrations, we have worked with government guidance to develop an online registration portal to enable people to register with us from the comfort of their own homes.

“We are working with a number of companies on post-lockdown vacancies too, conducting interviews using Skype and Zoom, and screening candidates so they are ready to go once lockdown is lifted.

“We are doing as much as we can to support our clients and candidates through this difficult time, and we are very much open for business.”

The company are also due to announce a free CV workshop which will enable those suddenly finding themselves out of work to fine tune their CV and learn cover letter writing techniques - details of which will be announced on their website www.halorecruit.com.
