1st Contact Recruitment Boom for Social Workers

1st Contact Recruitment have expanded their Social Work department by promoting Ryan Botha, an existing Director of the company, to manage the department’s rapid growth.

The online and offline company has secured a place on preferred supplier lists for a number of London boroughs and have recently completed several international recruitment drives.

We took Islington to Australia and New Zealand and, working with our offices based there, we covered an enormous amount of ground in a short period of time. The take up was phenomenal. We broke all previous records and the two weeks was considered a huge success. Ryan Botha

On a more national scale, 1st Contact Recruitment arranged a similar trip for Hertfordshire to Australia which yielded similar results.

1st Contact was established in 1990 so our international offices have unparalleled contacts and ensure interviews are ready and waiting so our clients hit the ground running. Hertfordshire and Islington are two excellent examples of how international recruitment drives can work for public and private companies in the UK looking to recruit social workers and other professionals. I have been given responsibility to manage the requests for similar trips and ensure our candidate and client care remains second to none. Ryan Botha

Ryan is a very experienced recruitment professional and I am thrilled he has taken up the challenge to manage the growth of the Social Work department. The success of 1st Contact Recruitment’s focus on public sector recruitment
has been beyond our expectation and with the crisis continuing in UK recruitment, the demand for well trained and qualified overseas professionals looks set to continue.’
