My team are my number one priority and my gratitude and appreciation for Charlotte and her team's work, are beyond words. Our new team members mean those internally promoted, can start their roles and new roles filled by Sellick Partnership puts in place the right support for the teams. I highly recommend Sellick Partnership and will look to them for any future needs within my team.
Since becoming the leading supplier on our PSL, Sellick Partnership have demonstrated a strong commitment to helping us achieve our talent acquisition goals – as well as going the extra mile and providing real additional value. One way in which they’ve done that is by providing recruitment workshops for our internal colleagues whilst we’ve been re-shaping some of our teams. Providing 1:1 support in application and CV writing, along with interview techniques, giving colleagues at risk of redundancy (some of whom had not had to interview for many years) the confidence to apply for roles both internally and externally.
