A Midland recruitment and training firm has announced it is expanding with the launch of a new specialist division which will focus on permanent recruitment to help fuel the region’s booming economy.
Employment group eResponse Recruitment has launched Path Selection – a side of the business focussing on permanent roles in the accountancy, HR, technical, engineering and IT sectors.
The specialist venture will also see expert consultants supporting applicants with CV tips and career advice.
The move by eResponse, which has six offices across the region, sees it branching out for the first time from its established training and recruitment expertise for industrial work and into more senior professional roles.
Path Selection will be led by respected recruiter Chris Folly who has been appointed general manager. With 15 years’ experience in the region’s finance recruitment market, he will work closely alongside head of commercial, Tina White who has held a variety of senior commercial and marketing roles at eResponse since joining in 2011.
They will lead a new team of nine across eResponse’s branches in Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
Chris Folly, said: “The economy is growing but to make the best of it, businesses need the right mix of skills to fill the vacancies they have.
“At eResponse we have led the way for years in industrial roles and in training people for warehousing, manufacturing, logistics and office based jobs.
“But Path Selection brings something different to the group. It allows us to partner with clients and candidates on the permanent roles previously un-catered for in finance, accountancy, technical, engineering, HR and IT.
“We’ll be expanding our offering across the business as we grow and bring in even more recruiters who are experts in their field. We are very excited for the new venture and look forward to supporting local businesses with building their teams.”
The unveiling of Path Selection is the latest in a long line of good news for eResponse. Last November the firm was listed at number 45 in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 – the second year in a row eResponse had featured in the national business barometer since being founded in 2003 by Redditch-based brothers Paul and Joe Alekna.
