LBU and JHR have teamed up as local enterprises with a shared common interest, which is to better align graduate expectations for employment and opportunities available for Graduate hires. The aim is to improve aligned thinking for our future generations. So far, we have uncovered that there can be some misalignments between what opportunities are available with employers and what University Graduates expectations are and we’ve identified a need for improved awareness and education amongst upcoming graduates, to better prepare them for the world of work and what opportunities are available to them. Together, we are working on a joint ongoing programme to deliver guidance, coaching and education to the students at LBU, as well as insights to Leeds-local employers to develop long-term business growth and engagement strategies.

As part of our commitment to developing a more sustainable working environment, we’ve partnered with Tree-nation and are growing our own Jo Holdsworth Recruitment Forest in Tanzania. We plant new trees monthly on behalf of the clients and candidates that work with us each month. That means when you work with us and secure a new job or employ a new colleague, you’re directly supporting the growth of our forest in Africa! Our commitment to sustainable working: We will only ask you to travel for in person interviews where it’s necessary, in most instances, unless you would prefer to see us in person, your interviews with our team will be remote. We work from home for part of the week and by engaging with the travel plan network it means our colleagues have access to sustainable travel solutions for their commute, for when we are in the office. We are a paperless office and with the help of dual monitors we no longer need to print for cross checking purposes. Electronic CVs – Our investment in technology means our registration process is completely digital and we don’t require paper CV’s.  Electronic timesheets – Equally, we’ve digitalised our temp timesheet process, so all our colleagues and their hiring managers have the ability to complete their weekly timesheets and submit back to us at a click of a butto n.

While the pandemic had a lot to answer for, it did prompt the biggest acceleration in digital transformation our country has ever seen across workplaces in the UK. Our business was no different, and as a result saw a transformation in more effective and efficient temporary workforce management through the use of technology. We developed our own online portal accessible via our website, which allows complete access and control for our temporary workers and clients to manage weekly timesheets (and much more!) at a click of a button. No more paper-signed timesheets or email trails to get authorisation. What else? • Digital registration for all candidates with continuous access to their profile to update documents/details as necessary. • Temporary workers have instant chat access to their consultant via their online portal. • E-signed employment contracts for all workers including digital P46s. • Full digital identity / right to work checks managed in house by our compliance team. • Online timesheet approval which automatically pulls through to client invoices. • All employment references managed, captured and stored digitally. • Online payslips and P45s for all our temporary workers.
