William Alexander Recruitment

* Please note our Christmas opening hours * The William Alexander team will be here throughout the festive period, with the exception of Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. We want to wish all our clients, candidates, contractors, partners and suppliers a very happy Christmas. We look forward to working with you next year!

We think the measure of all recruitment agencies should be how well they look after their contractors or candidates. If you're a client, this is the ultimate reassurance about how your brand will be represented by the agency. If you're looking for your next role, you know you'll be in good hands. That's why we're so proud to share the results of our latest candidate satisfaction survey. 100% are either satisfied or very satisfied with the service they've received, and a high number would be happy to recommend us. Thank you to everyone who took the time to take part 🙏 #recruitmentagency #recruitmentlife #satisfactionsurvey

Few words strike more dread in the hearts of CV writers than “Sell yourself.” But if you want to avoid being written off on paper, it’s advice you will hear all the time, and with good reason. Selling yourself is not something that comes easily to many of us (particularly IT and change professionals, we find) so maybe it’s time to look at CV writing in a new way: not as a sales task, but as an information management issue.  https://lnkd.in/emU778Pg #cvwriting #cvwritinghelp #itjobs #itrecruitment #cvtips #cvadvice

Lovely work by the big hearted William Alexander team last week, to hold a spooky charity bake sale for Stroke Association. Maybe you can figure out how Ken, Heidi and a jellyfish relate to halloween(!), but it doesn't matter because the outfits were brilliant, cakes were delicious and we raised money for a cause that matters to us. Here's the link to the Just Giving page if you could spare a couple of pounds. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/ezGtH2PJ #fundraising #givingback #charitybakesale #brighton
