Santa Needs a Job: What Other Things Would He Be Good At?

What is Christmas like for catering recruitment agencies?

'Tis the season to be jolly. This rings true for most of us around the festive period.

Why UK Businesses Could Benefit from Hiring Older Workers

We've all heard the preconceptions when older and younger workers are compared; the world and employment are both more digital than before, something that younger employees are more at ease with. They'll be employed for much longer, while possessing the energy and zest of youth.  It is a preconception that spills over into recruitment, with age bias…
