Launch of Fusion people - new recruitment consultancy

.

A fusion of experience, innovation and best practice has led to the creation of a new national recruitment consultancy specialising in the built and natural environment.

Fusion People is the brainchild of Paul Metcalfe, former Managing Director of the agency AndersElite. It will offer clients a comprehensive range of technical recruitment services including contract staffing, managed staffing and permanent recruitment.

Based in Southampton, with regional offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, London and Manchester, Fusion People has adopted an innovative approach towards the recruitment of its own staff.

All employees will be invited to take up an equity stake in the business, giving everyone a direct share in the companyís success. This, says Paul, will guarantee staff tenure and help drive the quality and responsiveness of service for which he wants Fusion People to become known.

ìWeíre determined not to compromise on quality and thatís why from day one staff will have a stake hold in the business. That way, we know everyone has made a long term commitment and is prepared to go the extra mile to meet the needs of both employers and jobseekers alike.î

But Fusion People will not rely solely on its people ñ itís also investing heavily in its support infrastructure. An innovative website will help attract high calibre candidates looking for their next career move, says Paul. And Fusion People will also have an on-the-ground recruitment presence in Australia.

The Fusion People web site also reflects the innovative nature of the company. Once candidates have submitted their CV online, a revolutionary extractor tool automatically fills in the agency registration form for them and sets up a personalised account. From here there is unlimited access to search the job database, job alerts by e-mail and sms, details on prospective employers, and the option to apply for jobs on-line and track applications.

ìThrough more effective use of people, processes and technology we will aim to consistently deliver better, faster and more cost effective results than other consultancies,î says Paul.

Paul, who left AndersElite in September 2003 after helping it grow turnover from 20m to 90m, has succeeded in attracting many of his former colleagues at AndersElite to join him in the new venture. They include Paul Scott as Business Development Director; Mark Swain as e-Commerce Director; Chris Fenn as Finance Director; and Steve Harper and Steve Fisher as Operations Directors.

Fusion People is now actively recruiting staff. Interested Recruitment Consultants should call Paul on 07793 554413 to discuss opportunities in complete confidence or email their CV to fusionpeople@btinternet.com
