Sellick Partnership are also proving that the professional services recruitment market remains strong despite the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, with over 270 permanent placements made across the 2016/17 period up from 249 in the previous year. The business also reached a milestone of 700 contractors out whilst maintaining an impressive average temporary GM per hour.
Jo Sellick, Managing Director commented, “I am thrilled that we have managed to maintain our lengthy period of sustained growth despite a number of challenges over the past 12 months. The recruitment market has remained buoyant in the wake of a lot of uncertainty across the UK and it is great to see financial results that reflect that. It is also incredibly encouraging to see our new offerings, Actuarial, HR, Change and Transformation and Housing all performing well.
“I am also incredibly proud of our recent awards and accreditations. This year we have been recognised as one of 2017’s ‘100 Best Workplaces™ in the UK’ by Great Place to Work® for the second time as well as being included on the Financial Times FT 1000 list of the 1,000 fastest growing companies in Europe. Awards like these demonstrate our commitment to quality, developing long-standing relationships and delivering results.
With seven offices across the country and employing over 80 people, Sellick Partnership have ambitious internal recruitment plans across the next 18 months.
When asked about the year ahead Jo Sellick said, “2017/18 is going to be an incredibly exciting year for Sellick Partnership as we celebrate our 15th year in business. We will continue to grow incrementally within our current specialisms, as well as cater for the needs of the growing market across the UK.”
