Jark Recruitment launches new commercial division

Jark Recruitment, one of the top one hundred recruitment companies in the UK, is delighted to announce the launch of a new commercial division in the London Docklands.

Jark Recruitment, who has until now specialised in the industrial, driving, construction and healthcare recruitment sectors, has branched into commercial recruitment as part of the companyís national expansion plan, which will include another commercial branch opening in Reading later this year, and the opening of a further 20 commercial offices across the country by 2010.

From an early stage in the commercial divisionís development the Docklands was identified as an ideal location to introduce another Jark branch. It is vibrant, diverse and one of the fastest growing centres for commercial business in London, which will attract an abundance of skilled workers to office personnel and sales placements. The Docklands branch officially opens on October 16th and will initially be run by six staff, including sales consultants and support staff.

Jacalyn Parker, Commercial Divisional Manager of Jark Recruitment, comments: ìWe are confident that in a competitive market environment we will be successful within the commercial recruitment market. We have set ourselves high start out targets that we are confident will separate us from other agencies straight away. Customer service and candidate retention are central to the way we work, and we pride ourselves on always being able to offer our clients flexible and cost effective recruitment solutions, which is something the company has been doing across the industrial, driving, construction and healthcare recruitment industries since it launched in 1996.î

Jark Recruitment has 20 offices across the UK and Europe. Last year Jark Recruitment and associated companies achieved a record group turnover of 32.36million, which is a 25 per cent increase on the previous year. In a market which last year experienced an overall decline of 4.2 per cent and a decline of 11.2 per cent in the temporary recruitment sector, which is Jark Recruitmentís main marketplace, this growth is testament to the service, value for money and quality of staff the company provides to its clients whatever the sector of recruitment they are providing.
