Business people on the move

One of the key tasks for Gillian, who lives in East Lothian, will be finding new businesses and industries to work with ORB, as it looks to quickly establish its name in the Scottish marketplace and become a trailblazer in a new era of permanent recruitment.

“Covid has forced companies to look at their overheads and cut back on non-value initiatives. Permanent recruitment, from my experience, has been one of these”, Gillian said.

“We now have an opportunity to redefine what permanent recruitment is, while we demonstrate the value we can add and how we are a credible part of a business’s team and culture.

“We are not another agency throwing CVs at companies. We offer value, quality and longevity to meet both clients’ and candidates’ needs.”
