A new recruitment agency Absolute Personnel has just opened its doors on Castle Gates in Shrewsbury and is already finding a host of new opportunities for local job seekers.

Whilst the UK struggles to get to grips with the economic problems one local businessman and founder of the agency Mike Hayward is confident better times are ahead and draws comparisons to the last recession in the early 1990's where he saw dramatic increases in the temporary employment market.

"Whilst the economic recession has undoubtedly cast a huge shadow over the region in the last few years with many people unfortunately losing their jobs there are some positive signs that the green shoots of recovery are starting to take effect with companies now starting to employ people again," said Mike.

Mike an experienced recruiter of 25 years went on to explain, "Businesses use temporary labour to help fulfil short term contracts and initial increases in work orders whilst it also offers job seekers an opportunity to find immediate work and in many circumstances temporary jobs can lead to full time employment. Many local businesses are already taking advantage of our flexible, cost effective Temporary to Permanent options, that we tailor to suit individual clients requirements"

"The opening up of Absolute Personnel in Shrewsbury follows months of research into the employment opportunities offered by the region. I have spoken to many employers in the area and are confident that there will continue to be a number of new job vacancies on offer across our five operating divisions Industrial, Transport, Technical, Catering and Commercial. 

"Having spent most of my life living and working in Shrewsbury l fully understand the local jobs market and will ensure the service this company offers is tailored exactly to the needs of employers and the job seekers in the area," added Mike.

"At Absolute Personnel we offer job seekers the opportunity to call in and browse the selection of jobs available and talk to our friendly and experienced consultants. They are able to see what kind of work we can offer them without any pressure and before they go through the procedure of interviews and form filling. We find this provides a much more relaxed atmosphere where job seekers have the chance to see how we can help them before going on to our books," concluded Mike. 

Absolute Personnel's office is open from 8.00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday. For more information and to view some of the jobs on offer visit www.absolutepersonnel.co.uk or call 01743 232766.
