On tumblr this month On recruitermagazine.tumblr.com, Recruiter magazine’s tumblr feed, we showcase some of the other work that recruiters get up to — when they’re not recruiting Frazer John Recruitment What on earth is John Dyson, founder of Frazer John Recruitment in Manchester, doing behind the wheel of a Mini inside an office? Well, this is no ordinary Mini — this is Frazer John’s Skype and conference call facility in its brand new digs in Manchester’s New York Street. Designed based around a garden, as well as its very own live-in Mini, the office space has been kitted out with astro turf and garden furniture, all with the aim of giving staff and candidates an inspiring environment where they can feel at ease. Let’s hope John’s got his foot well away from the accelerator though…
Hays His Royal Highness The Duke of York recently joined London schoolchildren in learning the basics of computer coding at a CoderDojo session hosted by staffing and HR experts Hays. Over 100 schoolchildren from across London learnt the basics of computer programming and created their own apps, games and websites, with guidance from expert mentors from CoderDojo. The event last month was held as part of the UK Hour of Code, an initiative aiming to demystify code and encourage schoolchildren to take part in one hour of computer coding. WWW.RECRUITER.CO.UK

Career Moves Congratulations to Sarah Savage, a senior account manager at Career Moves, who successfully completed the Brentwood half marathon on 23 March. She completed the 21km course in a time of 2 hours and 5 minutes, and (so far) has raised £2,200 for her chosen charity, SNAP (Special Needs & Parents). Here she is (above left) smiling a few weeks before the race, and (above right) even happier having completed it. Once again, well done, Sarah… Next stop a full marathon!?
Harbourne Associates Recruitment certainly seems to be a ‘dog-eat-dog’ world, which is why Harbourne Associates, the Tunbridge Wells-based sales, marketing and management recruiter, has decided to think outside the box in terms of their recruitment process. Two members of the team are interviewing their latest employee, Rusty the dog, who successfully completed an assessment day. We can only hope Rusty didn’t give his interviewers a ruff time… (obvious, but had to be done). Don’t forget to send us your lighter news with pictures to recruiter.editorial@redactive.co.uk
