Let us ease your recruitment and training needs

Temporary Recruitment

We’ve been delivering temporary recruitment solutions to support clients’ fluctuating labour requirements since we started in 2001. We still supply our first ever client with their temporary workforce. So, that should say a little about the experience and trust we’ve earned in planning and executing long-term resource plans. Equally as important, we can react quickly to deliver fully screened candidates to meet fast-changing people requirements.

We deliver a broad range of temporary recruitment services—these range from specialist contract appointments right through to volume solutions. And are available across all of the sectors we work in, including Manufacturing, principally Food and Automotive, Warehousing and Distribution, Contact Centre, Sales and General Administration.

Our temporary recruitment services are flexible and, as always, we tailor our approach to meet each clients’ needs. At Zenith People, we value integrity; we comply with all current legislation and industry best practices.

Permanent Recruitment

In the delivery of our permanent recruitment, our regional knowledge and recruitment experience are our strengths. We won’t claim to know everything there is to know. That mindset wouldn’t allow us to continue to learn and evolve our service. What we will say is that our team is full of sector-specific experts. Together we have an abundance of combined years of experience working across the North East, which translates into our delivery. Clients can expect to receive an information-rich, intelligent service that is consultative, connected and tailored to your specific requirements.

It’s our role to deliver a bespoke service to our clients. Our service provides them with advice and guidance on salaries, market conditions, and candidate availability and strives to offer a positive experience to candidates – ensuring our clients are employers of choice.
