Derby mum of two, Zoe Hendricks decided to set up her own recruitment agency to help working parents find flexible jobs that fit in with family, after experiencing her own frustration at the lack of quality roles available for skilled and professional people.

A recent survey found that 88% of working mums feel they are working below their skill level to get the flexibility they need at home, this together with the estimated £23 billion per year the government estimate it loses by under-utilising womens' skills in the UK proved to be the catalyst Zoe needed to launch the business.

Work Clever is set up to match experienced individuals who need to strike a balance between work and home with employers who want to benefit from the efficiency of recruiting their permanent staff more flexibly. 

The Derby based agency is attracting a wealth of high calibre and talented candidates from the region, who have registered for flexible, permanent work at www.workclever.co.uk. This provides local employers with a rich resource of untapped talent.

Zoe says, 'Seeing the quality of candidates that are registering with us has cemented the need for a service like this. Organisations who help their employees achieve a better balance between work and home focus on results. They build a more resilient business, better able to attract and retain talent, whilst enjoying the costs savings associated with pro rata salary and benefits packages'.

Companies can reduce both overheads and the need for redundancy by recruiting flexibly and benefit from high calibre skill that budgets may not otherwise stretch too.

Work Clever is currently working with employers across the region in range of sectors and encourage candidates of all levels of expertise to register online with the agency.
