Verus Recruitment expand the office family on their mission to make more perfect job matches in 2021

12th May 2021

With authenticity at its core, their mission is simple – matching candidates with their dream jobs whilst providing exemplary support and care in their new career… and what better place to start than in-house!

The recruitment industry has been tested to its core by the pandemic, but as the region begins to reopen more and more businesses are looking to hire the perfect people to bring them out of lockdown. Verus Recruitment, based in Crookes, Sheffield, are striving for bigger and brighter things and as they continue to support businesses across Yorkshire in finding staff that fit, they’re also making sure their in-house team reflect their business values of authenticity, trust and quality.

Earlier in 2021, they welcomed Business Development Manager Sarah Briggs to the team, who said “I’m a massive advocate of finding out what makes our client’s team members tick – it’s so important to work out what makes them feel valued, it’s not always about more salary. I know if you can get that right when hiring a member of staff, companies will cut their attrition rates, have a great workforce and save money in the long run”.

At Verus Recruitment, they strongly believe that people are everything, and good people make good companies, which is why they are passionate about keeping their office as family friendly as possible. Whether that’s childcare, dog sitting or simply a work from home day, the team are thrilled to be bringing the things they enjoyed about lockdown (lunchtime dog walks, flexible hours and cake Fridays to name a few) into the office.

More recently in May 2021, the recruitment firm announced the appointment of Dr Laura Cutress, who has joined the business (alongside her ‘Barketing’ Assistant Beinn the Cocker Spaniel) as the Head of Marketing and Commercial Operations. She says “I wholeheartedly believe that everyone deserves to be in a company and position that is challenging, fulfilling and where you feel valued. After a rollercoaster 2020 I have to say it's great to feel valued so much to be offered this opportunity, and I look forward to helping candidates find the same job satisfaction I do!”

When it comes to a new place of work, skills can be learned and taught, experience can be earned, but values, passion and ethos are ingrained and Verus Recruitment believes that this is truly what matters when finding the perfect person for a role.

Director Jamie Griggs added: “Both Miriam (Berry) and myself set up Verus Recruitment Partners at the beginning of 2019 in order to provide a recruitment service which makes our customers’ lives easier; deliver relevant advice and action, and ultimately become an extended arm for their business. Our core offering is built on the basis that we provide an honest, transparent and friendly service and we want both the client and candidate to be represented in a positive manner which will make them proud to be associated with us.

One of our core values is “people first”, and not only do we treat everyone the way we would like to be treated, but we follow a strict culture of caring. This means caring for you and your organisation, and caring for the future of our candidates’ careers. There are fewer more crucial decisions than appointing the best people to your organisation, so you need a recruitment partner who understands the significant challenges facing your sector and genuinely cares for your organisation so that you can attract the right people first time. 

With the fantastic appointments of both Sarah and Laura, and continued anticipated growth plans through 2021 and 2022 we feel that as a business we will be able to continue to offer and deliver this high level of service to everyone we support.”

Based in the leafy city suburb of Crookes, Verus Recruitment specialises in matching job seekers with their dream role. A recruitment agency with authenticity at its core, Verus does recruitment differently, and is passionate about finding that perfect match.
