Recruitment Agencies: Large Nationals vs Boutique - With Jason Langridge
This week we welcome Jason Langridge, an experience TA legend where we delve into the big differences between working for huge recruitment agencies that cover the entirety of the UK vs smaller boutique or start up agencies like The Bukola Group. Is there a different approach to the service offered to clients? What is the difference from a candidates perspective in the experience they get? We discuss KPI's, networking and of course a top tip from Jason who has over 10 years' experience in TA!
