Hybrid/Remote Vacancies at Vickerstock
INDUSTRY NEWS Working across many dynamic and ever changing industries, we are always learning and sharing our new found knowledge with all our clients.

80% Increase in Hybrid/Remote Vacancies at Vickerstock Industry News within our Professional Services Sector As we are all aware, the result of the pandemic has ultimately seen the need and a rise of permanent remote working, however now that lockdown is lifting, could this be the new normal? Since the beginning of 2021, the team at Vickerstock has not only seen the rise in working from home positions, but some candidates are now only seeking remote opportunities, which has meant employees are now adapting roles to meet this demand. Vickerstock’s senior recruitment consultant for Professional Services, Mary Quinn has dealt with many clients who are adapting to this, “A number of my roles are now hybrid, giving my candidate that option to work from home or in the office. Many of my clients who haven’t yet incorporated this are looking at changing their policies to accommodate working from home.” Vickerstock also recently shared a poll with our followers to determine their preferred working environment. With a poll of 82 individuals, 70% stated that they would prefer a Hybrid, flexible option to work from home and the office. This was followed by 21% preferring to work from home and 10% preferring to work from the office. Furthermore, third-party recruitment sites are also adapting their search filters to give candidates the option to filter their job searches to remote working. At Vickerstock, Professional service roles are not the only sector offering hybrid positions. Construction and Civil engineering have also seen a shift towards remote roles, such as Senior Quantity Surveying vacancies and Design / Civil structural engineers.

CANDIDATE TESTIMONIALS Supporting Tomorrows Talent
Cathryn
2021 Candidate I recently have been placed into a job closer to home that suits the work life balance I was looking for. I am extremely thankful to Mary Quinn for her help and support throughout this process and for being there for me every step of the way. From the moment I sent my CV through Mary called me right away to discuss my options and guided me through the application process right through to accepting the job offer. Mary is very approachable and easy to talk to and gave me the confidence to believe in myself. Mary is a great asset to Vickerstock with her experience, knowledge and professionalism. I highly recommend using Vickerstock recruitment!
Laura-Anne 2021 Candidate
Having dealt with many agencies across NI, I cannot recommend Vickerstock enough. Trying to find a new role while moving across the country has been stressful but Mary Quinn made the process so easy. I have just been placed in a permanent role with a fantastic company thanks to Mary. From day one Mary has been brilliant to work with - I received regular updates and feedback and Mary really went above and beyond for me - especially whilst on leave - to ensure I got a timely offer letter. Hopefully won’t need a new role for a long time but would absolutely work with Vickerstock again.
Daisey 2021 Candidate I cannot recommend this company enough to anyone! As a new graduate, I was beginning to worry about finding a job due to having little industry experience. Mary introduced herself to me and proceeded to work above and beyond to help me find a job that would allow me to develop my skills further. She managed to find me a job in no time, and gave me tips and advice that would help me throughout my interview process, which subsequently ended in me receiving two job offers in the same company! Mary is a great person to work with, very personable, responsive, and it was clear she had my best interests throughout. I can’t thank her enough for everything.
Sarah
2021 Candidate I cannot recommend Vickerstock enough. Mary Quinn went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and always kept me up-to-date on daily basis. I now have secured a position that suits my work/life balance as a carer. Once again thank you for such a professional and positive experience.
