15 Corporate Vision / Executive Search & Recruitment Awards 2017 , APNRecruitment Ltd is an independent recruitment agency which believes in a unique approach to recruitment. AimeeMorris, Managing Director, gives us an insight into the workings of the firmand how it has come to be so successful. Best Technical Recruitment Agency – West Midlands & Excellence Award for Industrial Staffing Since inception, APN has evolved and developed to become the agency it is today. Each step has been a journey, overcoming many challenges which has helped the company to grow and develop, becoming one of the leading forces it is today. Aimee attributes the company’s passion and teamwork as one of the major reasons for its recent achievements and overall success. “Here at APN, we are passionate about the level of service we offer and believe in tailoring our package to ensure our clients’ needs and requirements are met. Teamwork has played a big part in our success, along with honesty, integrity and passion. Each member of our team has worked within the recruitment and account management industry for many years, and we each have specialist areas of expertise which collectively gives us our edge.” Working across two counties and specialising in certain sectors of recruitment, Aimee explains what helps to make the company different from other recruitment firms within the area and further afield. The relationships it builds with clients are integral to APN’s success, which is formed by the earning of trust and tailored package fitted to suit each individual clients’ needs. “Specialising within technical, industrial and skilled recruitment, we work within Worcestershire and Warwickshire and are able to offer complete HR solutions to our clients and candidates, covering temporary, permanent and interim needs. Additionally, we are proud to introduce our new Commercial Desk which launched on the 1st September 2017, the commercial plan is off to a flying start, run and managed by Leslee Whadcoat, who has many years’ experience within this field. We are now able to offer a more fluid solution to our clients covering a wider scope of their needs. “Fundamentally, the key to our success is our ability to build and maintain lasting relationships with our candidates and clients, something we strongly believe in. We take the time to understand both businesses and candidates to ensure we fully comprehend how to recruit and place the right people, with the right skills set and personality into the right companies. Just as no two people are the same, neither are businesses and the team believes in offering a bespoke package to suit individual requirements to ensure success every time.” Having always worked in recruitment, Aimee believes there should be a firm focus on the clients and customers, something she always offered in her previous roles, and an aspect she believes has helped APN to be one of the leaders in the region and industry. “In 2013, I decided to take the plunge into self-employment and APN Recruitment was born. My core values and integrity are the foundations of the company, this is embedded into each member of our team and leads to our success. We are professional yet personable, honest and reliable. I think this is a big draw for clients who work with us and is the reason they keep coming back. Most of our clients work with us on an exclusive basis, trusting in APN to fulfil their needs.” Keen to praise her staff, Aimee notes that without her employees, she would not have the successful company she has today. The team are offered various incentives in order to keep them motivated. “Vital to any company, staff are the cogs of the company engine. If the staff are not happy and fulfilled this can have a dramatic negative impact on any organisation leading to reduced productivity and low morel. At APN, we offer many incentives to ensure we maintain a happy and contented workforce. We have team building days and personal staff incentives to recognise hard work and commitment. We place a lot of emphasis when recruiting on personality as we believe this is key to success.
