John Maxted and fellow Digby Morgan Director,
Alistair Cook, last week collected the prestigious
award for HR Recruitment Consultancy of the Year
from TV personality Dara O'Briain at Recruiter
Magazine’s 2008 Awards for Excellence.
Welcome to the spring issue of Human Resourcefulness
which see Digby Morgan celebrating two significant
landmarks
Firstly,
it was 20 years ago last month we opened for business.
The HR sector has changed beyond all recognition
over the last couple of decades and it’s
no coincidence that the success, growth and dominant
market position of our company is mirrored by
the rise of HR in corporate life today.
The
second landmark surrounds our continuing international
expansion. We now employ almost 100 specialist
HR recruitment consultants operating on global
client briefs in offices from London to Sydney
and have a new dedicated team in place that is
focused exclusively on exploiting the burgeoning
HR opportunities for clients and candidates alike
in the booming market of Dubai and the wider middle-eastern
regions.
A Softening Market?
There is an abundance of media speculation regarding
a possible downturn in the economy and some in
our industry comment on preparing for more ‘challenging’
times. However, despite the current difficulties
being reported as a result of the global credit
crunch we are still seeing plenty of activity
in the market and are still predicting a great
year with further growth. There is a shortage
of talent in the HR market and there will always
be great opportunities for good candidates.
Once again I’d like to thank everyone for
consistently choosing Digby Morgan to source HR
talent and to make career moves. We appreciate
the belief that you have shown in our brand over
the past 20 years which has been key to our success.
I hope you enjoy our newsletter and please do
come back to me with your feedback for future
editions.
