You are often selling insight, not a product and the best people know how to translate complex markets into clear commercial value for clients.   We want to know what others in the industry see as the most important strength.

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓   It was a pleasure for some of the Walker Lovell team to attend the British Recruitment Awards in London this week.   Walker Lovell were finalists for the Onboarding Initiative of the Year and although we did not take home the award, being a finalist alongside two major organisations was a huge achievement for us.   It was our first recruitment awards event and definitely will not be our last.   An all-round fantastic evening of networking and recognising brilliant companies & individuals in recruitment. #BritishRecruitmentAwards #RecruitmentAwards #WalkerLovell

𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞 Every so often, we receive feedback that really makes our day and captures what great recruitment looks like. We recently received a wonderful review from a candidate about their experience working with Lucy Drabble and it couldn’t go unshared! What makes this even more impressive is that Lucy is still in her first year of working in recruitment. Lucy’s determination to get things right along with her lovely-natured personality make her an absolute pleasure to work with. Receiving feedback like this is one of the best parts of our job. Well done Lucy on such a glowing review. 👏 #WalkerLovell #Recruitment #TeamSpotlight #Recognition

Maybe it’s a small gesture from a colleague, a manager's approach, or a company practice that really stands out. Share your thoughts in the comments   #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeValue #WalkerLovell

𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐐𝟑 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 – 𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 & 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐐 🥂 Our Q3 team day took us to Manchester’s Northern Quarter for a day of escape rooms followed by a bottomless brunch. The good news: we all made it out. The bad news: it took longer than we’ll admit. Teamwork made the dream work... eventually. Turns out our real calling is less “escape artists”, more “brunch enthusiasts”. Another great afternoon with the team. 👏 #TeamWalkerLovell #Q3Event #TeamBuilding #Recruitment

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 Across all industries Walker Lovell supports, some professionals build success through deep specialisation, while others do so by developing a broader, more adaptable skill set. Specialists bring precision, depth and technical mastery; they’re often the go-to experts who can solve complex problems within their field. Generalists connect the dots across disciplines, bringing versatility with a strategic perspective and the ability to navigate change. Both play critical roles in organisational success but which do you identify with most?

Following on from our recent post about the fantastic local charity Mentell, who do incredible work supporting men’s mental health, Walker Lovell joined in with their 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 initiative.   For the month of October, we have turned blue in support of Mentell’s mission.   The team went all in with blue-themed decorations, props, snacks and some questionable blue sausage rolls that could’ve passed for an art project, but we can confirm they were edible!   While we had fun getting involved, the message behind it is one we take seriously. Men’s mental health is something that affects so many – both in our local community and across the industries we work with.
