A new job solution taps into unexplored local skills and talent, to support industries who need a staffing solution.
GR8, the Channel Islands’ leading blue collar employment specialist, is matching up people who have young families, are retired or semi-retired or have limited work hours to roles in the hospitality and retail sectors.
The recruitment services provider has launched a new service to help businesses who need permanent solutions for staff at short notice or who are looking for reliable and experienced people who are prepared to work flexible hours with possible job sharing.
Responding to the needs of clients, GR8 has set up a new service to find people who cannot or, due to other commitments, may not be able to work regular hours.
Lee Madden (shown in the main picture), Managing Director of GR8, said: “Finding the right people to fill roles has been a problem for many businesses this year. Our clients are telling us that they have had to reduce their services just at the moment when things are returning to normal because they can’t get enough people. We have noticed this particularly in hospitality where some venues have remained closed.
“This solution works by giving people who may have retired or have other pressures that prevent them from committing to 9 to 5, or even regular part time hours, the chance to earn some money while at the same time providing a flexible resource to many of the businesses struggling to get staff currently.
“Going forward, we see this as a fantastic opportunity to use the years of knowledge and talent that people can bring to the workforce without tying them down to regular hours. They can earn at a time and pace that suits them. It will also help those who may have family commitments that prevent them signing up with an employer.”
