With the mission to ‘connect the right people together’ and the
backing of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), SW1
Concierge4You has stepped into the market to help its clients
achieve a work and life balance by offering them recruitment
services to help them in their working lives and concierge services
to help them manage and maintain their personal lives.
Says Breda Walsh of SW1
Concierge4You: “Now is the right time for us to launch a fresh,
vibrant consultancy into the market and offer quality services
whilst upholding what we intend to be high standards to clients and
candidates alike. We are confident there is currently a clear gap in
the market for us and believe we are in a position to maximise this
opportunity for SW1 Concierge4You to establish itself as a key
quality operator in and around Cambridgeshire and, later (over the
next 5 years), to franchise its Cambridgeshire model out to a
further 25 geographical areas throughout the UK”.
Recent research by SW1 Concierge4You
has established a definite need for commercial and interim
management recruitment and concierge services in Cambridgeshire,
which is based on quality of service, rather than low pricing
structure. Clients are likely to pay for a better quality permanent
and temporary recruitment and concierge service and candidates are
likely to be attracted to work with such a uniquely offering
consultancy.
During the recent recession, many
recruitment and concierge agencies succumbed to pressure to
negotiate their fees and, as a result, their standards of service
suffered. They are now struggling to raise fees and their
credibility with clients is compromised, especially amongst some
independent agencies. Prior to the downturn, these agencies
maintained a strong hold on the local market and key to this was the
quality of service they provided. Whilst the larger agencies tended
to concentrate mainly on national accounts with the large, blue chip
organisations, these independents were very successful at attracting
and keeping the smaller clients. This is no longer the case and
these smaller agencies appear to have lost their focus, which is
where the opportunity for SW1 Concierge4You exists.
SW1 Concierge4You aims to work
across clients ranging from individuals, to start ups and SMEs, all
the way up to larger organisations. The consultancy will cater for
all types of industries and sectors based in and around
Cambridgeshire and is currently focusing its efforts on recruiting
for suitable candidates it hopes to offer temporary, contract and/or
permanent positions.
Breda Walsh continues: “More than
anything, we are keen to create jobs and new career opportunities
for people living and working in Cambridgeshire. We hope to do this
by offering our candidates a wide array of interesting roles across
commercial recruitment, interim executive and management and also
lifestyle management. There are many busy people out there who could
use a PA at the office as well as a PA combined butler and travel
agent in their personal lives. We are striving to help make clients’
lives easier by offering them suitable, talented, experienced
workers across both areas of their lives – work and life”.
