Retail Recruitment Company Wins Top Award

Retail recruiter is named as

UK’s best in industry award

Retailers looking for high quality management staff now have a new recruitment firm of choice according to the Recruiter 2008 Awards for Excellence held earlier this week (Monday 28^th April). Top Irish comedian Dara O’Briain handed over the award for Best Retail Recruitment Firm to newcomers McCarthy Recruitment at a packed ceremony held in London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. McCarthy (www.mccarthyrecruitment.com) specialise in permanent management level recruitment in the retail industry, with a wide range of household names amongst their client portfolio. Despite having only been established since 2005, McCarthy now has satellite offices in London and Dublin in addition to their original Manchester head office with clients across the breadth of the UK and

Ireland.

As part of the award selection process, the company was praised by judges for its extensive retail knowledge and in-depth understanding of the sector and its clients. The panel was particularly impressed by the company’s ‘day in the life’ strategy which detailed a day in the life of a manager with potential candidates to ensure that the right person was placed in the right position. McCarthy’s Managing Director, was particularly delighted to win the retail award having been named as Best Newcomer earlier in the evening. “We began trading in 2005 from a tiny two person office in central Manchester,” she explains. ”Since then, despite a reducing high street spending, business has grown rapidly through a combination of hard work and specialised retail knowledge. To be acknowledged for our hard work and dedication to our candidates and clients is for us the best accolade we could have.” The double win has come as the company has embarked upon its own recruitment drive fuelled by its growing number of retails clients. “The slowdown in the economy has not reduced the need for management. In fact it has highlighted the need to take on the right people to cope with more challenging times,” comments Kate. “As our award suggests, we feel we are the right company to help retailers find the right management teams to move them forward.”
