We’re so excited to see you back for another instalment from the Tru Talent team. This month we’ll be sharing something very close to our hearts and something we’re so proud to be spearheading within our community… the Tru Talent HR Forum.

We're much more than just a recruitment company here at Tru Talent, from sponsoring renowned beach volleyball team Gleed & Jones on their road to the Commonwealth Games to inspiring young people with talks in schools and colleges. There’s more to us here than recruitment and our new series ‘Tru Champions’ is no exception.

The team here at Tru Talent has made something really special for you. We created the Job Whisperer Podcast to help you navigate through each stage of the recruitment process.

Well?... Why aren't hiring managers giving feedback to recruiters?

Recruitment is a two-way street. Recruiters get to interact with candidates and build relationships with them. But what happens when they don’t hear back from the hiring manager?

We get so many emails and questions from clients and candidates asking us about the current recruitment market, which is no surprise given these still quite uncertain times… don’t worry we won’t mention the C-word.

Do you know what is causing people to look for a career change? It's not just the cost of living, wanting to work from home, or working remotely. Occasionally it's all of those reasons plus more but there's always something that causes people to make life-changing decisions.

In this month's blog, we’ll take a look behind the curtain to show you what makes us tick and what continues to drive us forward here at Tru Talent.

If you haven’t already heard… where have you been?

In this blog, we’ll explain why we must conduct Right to Work checks, what documentation and forms of ID we can accept and we’ll also explain share codes and even show you how to attain your own. If this all sounds a little alien, please don’t worry, it’s a lot simpler than it sounds and we’ll explain everything within.

Many see cover letters as an optional extra and in many cases a real chore, especially when applying for multiple roles. However, a great cover letter can be a powerful tool that can really help you both stand out above other candidates and also build a better and fuller picture of yourself for the hiring manager.

Here at Tru Talent, we’re in the business of changing lives and we do this by placing great people in great jobs in both permanent and temporary positions.

As we step into the summer months and see a little more of that much needed sunshine, things are beginning to feel just that little bit more normal. Many of us are now able to reconnect with friends and family and are returning to our offices and places of work allowing us to breathe a small sigh of relief.
