What makes you happy at work?

What makes you want to stay somewhere?

How would you like to develop your skills/knowledge?

Where do you want to be in 5 years’ time?

Where are your favourite places to eat and drink?

What’s your dog’s name? 

We know all the answers and they’re in your 68LOCKER. But before we talk about those lockers – let’s talk about you first…

 Your career is important to us.  

Your development and the steps you take are intrinsically linked to how happy you are. And life is simply too short to not be happy at work right?

Let’s face it, one wrong move can feel heart-breaking. Sadly we talk to too many managers where promises haven’t been delivered or the ‘people culture’ talked up at an interview is well…..toxic. Not knowing whether an employer is who they say they are feels like a minefield. We love the idea of you having a recruitment buddy by your side. 

Whether you get a role through us or not, we want to be a sounding board, a coach, an agony aunt or just someone to say ‘that sounds like a great move’ or ‘are you sure you have thought this through?’.

Job hunting is hard work.

It’s lonely and it’s daunting. The knock backs can really affect your confidence – at a time when one thing you need in confidence. How does my CV look? What exactly should be on it? How do I sell myself on paper? All great questions – that everyone has an opinion on. And then of course come the interviews. What should I wear? What will they ask? Should I mention that or not?. All questions we LOVE answering.

We want to be different.

Sadly, in terms of experience, agency recruiters get the worst testimonial. Calling you with a job to sell, even though they don’t know your story or what you are looking for, attempting to convince you into something that isn’t right, calling about something way off the mark, sending your CV without your permission, being bombarded when you are happy at work. Let me tell you, we have heard it all.

The difficulty about being different is that everyone says they are different. So I guess it’s hard to know how different a service is until you have given it a whirl? That’s where our lockers come in.

Want to be part of our network?

We want to create a network that you feel part of. A network that has your back. A real relationship with a human who you can pick up the phone to and they know what you are looking for, know what motivates you and know the frustrations you have had in previous roles. Your recruitment buddy who happens to be an industry expert, a safe pair of hands.  

Joining our network starts with creating your 68LOCKER. This is a lovely place. A place that holds all the information you tell us on your first call with us. It holds the answers to this blog’s opening questions and much much more.

 From there we make a promise:-

To only call you about roles that we think are dreamy for you.

To support you through any recruitment journey you chose to go on.

To keep any conversations we have completely confidential.

To share our monthly mailer with you so you can keep an eye on what’s going on.

To be here for you when you have any questions, about… anything.

Sound ok?
