You can read our definitions of these here. We settled on a set of values that truly represent our business and our team, and that we are incredibly proud of: We spent time in October as a team reflecting on what we are most proud of, defining our core values and agreeing how we integrate them into our processes and culture. Our ValuesĪlthough unspoken values have always been at the heart of what we do and how we operate at Identify HR, they had never been defined or formalised. In this digital age of business, this will broaden our service offering, help us reach new markets and make our expertise more accessible to a wider client base. We had plans in place for going digital before the application for the grant was accepted, but access to this financial support has accelerated this and our exciting digital project is underway with plans to launch next year. This is fantastic support for us at this stage in our journey as we invest in our future and is enabling us to put in place strong foundations and infrastructure for growth. We were delighted to successfully secure a DigitalBoost Development Grant through the Scottish Government and Business Gateway. Traditional recruitment practices have had to change and we have seen real flexibility and resilience in our clients to adapt to the challenges they have faced, as well as great opportunities for many businesses around flexible and hybrid working models. With UK job vacancies at a record high, the talent shortage continues to be a hot topic and that’s not set to change anytime soon. Attitudes, approaches and ways of working and engaging have changed, and the necessity to think differently has brought tangible improvements to how we all operate. The resilience, energy and drive that we continue to see across our client and candidate base is fantastic. Resilienceīeing nearly two years on since March 2020 when the world went into lockdown with COVID-19, the business and team are now well versed at working from home, juggling home schooling when required, adapting office space, changing plans at short notice and following all the guidelines to keep us all as safe and healthy as we can.Īs well as ensuring the team are set up effectively and efficiently for hybrid working, we have been mindful of the team’s mental health and work/life balance and, as far as possible, have accommodated everyone’s wishes in regards to flexible working. It’s proved a fantastic base for our hybrid working model, for our new team to learn and develop, and for wider collaboration, creative sessions and whole team get togethers. With a much larger team, we were excited to move into new office premises in the heart of Edinburgh. We have made a further hire this month to strengthen and build our HR recruitment practice who will be joining us in January, so watch out for an exciting announcement in the New Year! New Office Space From initially looking to hire one or two Resourcers, we were so impressed with our short list of candidates that we hired all three! On the recruitment support side, we welcomed Justyna, Zoe and Stacey as Talent & Resourcing Specialists to support our Consultants in delivering a first class candidate journey and hiring manager experience. We also hired our first dedicated marketing specialist with Linda Stein joining the business as Marketing & Communications Lead. In the Summer, we strengthened our Digital practice with experienced Consultant, Scott Gibson, joining us to lead recruitment in this area. These appointments have further strengthened the existing team and developed business capability to support our ambitious growth plans. It’s been a hugely exciting year for us in terms of team growth with our headcount more than doubling through the addition of five new hires. As the year draws to a close, we wanted to reflect on some of our own highlights from the past 12 months, as a business and a growing team. 2021 has undoubtedly been another year of mixed emotions with the pandemic continuing to impact, and for businesses it has been so important to remain focused and agile.
