There wouldn’t be many people who would argue that 2020 has been a fantastic year for building their careers. It’s certainly been a topsy-turvy world for most of us. We’ve tried like many people to consider the positives and wanted to share some of our own and candidate experiences with you:
It’s been a time of reflection
Like most businesses, Permanser has experienced a significant downturn: there is less demand for product and less active recruitment in the fashion and textiles space than we typically see this time of year. As a result of that, we have spent time talking with our clients and candidates and getting to understand their situations, both pre-COVID and currently. We’ve used this time to better understand our customers.
Jobseekers have been more candid
Jobseekers have shared with us how companies have been treating them during this time.For many of them, it’s been a key factor in how they see their future with the employer and even their career. Some candidates have used the experience to ‘pivot’ and explore other careers and industries.Now is the perfect time to plan your next career move. Career counselling has been taken to a new level when candidates have shared their personal experiences with us. It’s been a humbling experience and we don’t take it lightly.
We’ve been refreshing our database
Like many industries, the fashion and textile industry is awash with top notch candidates. We’ve spent time ensuring that we have the best candidates that are available now on our database and are ready to go.
If you are a job seeker and would like to speak with the team regarding opportunities that might become available in the market, please speak to Janine and the team.
Kind Regards,
Janine, Nat & Amy
