At Managed Recruitment Solutions, we are proud to support two extremely worthwhile causes, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and the British Heart Foundation.  The British Heart Foundation not only pours valuable resources into researching heart disease and other circulatory illnesses, but provides irreplaceable aftercare and support for both sufferers and their families.  Very often the BHF is the reason that patients make full recoveries from heart surgery, but they rely very heavily on donations and fundraising.  If you are clearing out your wardrobe (or that of your children), or making room for the new toys that your children received at Christmas by clearing out the ones they no longer want, why not take them to your local British Heart Foundation shop?

February is National Heart Month and as part of our efforts to help to fight heart disease, we will be donating part of each placement fee invoiced during February to BHF.  You can do your bit by joining in with the National Wear Red Day on Friday 26 February.  For further information, go to www.bhf.org.uk

So we’ve finally embraced technology and, Luddites that we are, been dragged kicking and screaming out of the Noughties.

So what have we learned? Mostly that the good businesses will always do well and that there are still worthwhile careers and opportunities out there. The past eighteen months have probably taught us that candidates have to be 100% convinced about a new role and business, and many will only look at “fireproof” opportunities.

But as Del Boy was fond of saying “he who dares, Rodders” and the entrepreneurial companies are still the ones that will offer the most interesting, and potentially rewarding jobs.
