August 2014 sees an excitement development for Permanent People as the company has been awarded full membership to APSCo, an organisation that regulates the quality across the recruitment industry.

APSCo have many areas to their organisation and operate globally, so for Permanent People to be working alongside side such a recognised partner, is testament to the growth of our company and a clear signal that our intent is to continue to keep up the excellent levels of service we have so far provided in our first year.

There are only six Rec2Rec’s nationally who have the APSCo membership and after getting successful references from clients and candidates who have used Permanent People, we are obviously very proud to be part of the work being undertaken to raise the levels of recruitment done within the Rec2Rec sector.

Director, Paul Reid commented:-

“It’s great for the the company to be part of APSCo and I’m delighted that being a member signifies that we are a Rec2Rec that adheres to  a high quality and can guarantee that if you are looking to fill a recruitment post or are looking for a new position, dealing with us means that we will do things properly”

We would like to wish everyone a massive well done and look forward to another great year.

Interesting article in the Recruiter regarding APSCo, those who don’t know APSCo here is some background information:

In brief, APSCo is here to

• ensure that members offer the highest possible standards of trading practice and to promote excellence throughout the professional recruitment industry

• facilitate the exchange of professional and regulatory information between industry members and related bodies and to act as the authoritative source of information and business intelligence (other than statistical) concerning the professional recruitment industry

• provide and promote a recognised stamp of quality assurance; all Members are rigorously referenced and must adhere to strict codes of conduct

APSCo turns on Asia, UK talent taps through internships

Three leading UK universities and two in Asia will participate in the Association of Professional Staffing Companies’ (APSCo’s) soon-to-be launched intern programme aimed at attracting fresh, high-calibre talent into the recruitment profession.

Three-month summer placements for undergraduates attending the Universities of Manchester, Reading and Warwick in the UK, and in Asia the National University of Singapore and the University of Hong Kong will be offered from July 2014 within APSCo member firms. 

APSCo chairman Miles Hunt described the programme to Recruiter as “a major step in the growing establishment of recruitment as a primary career choice and the attraction of the next generation of professional recruiters”.

APSCo chief executive officer Ann Swain told Recruiter: “We are aiming for over 50 interns within the UK and would expect a smaller number initially within Asia.”

A training salary of “not less than £16k (S$32k)”, pro rata depending on location, is one of the requirements that participating APSCo members must agree to.

Participating recruiters must also provide a minimum of three days’ formal classroom training and development to give interns transferable skills within the profession. A named mentor is an additional requirement, according to a scoping document for the programme seen by Recruiter.

“Each participating company will have their own culture and style, but we have put best practice measures in place to ensure that the experience of each intern will be equally good,” Swain said.

International benefit for APSCo members

APSCo members participating in the programme will be confirmed in February, with students applying in March and first-stage selection taking place in April.

Once members have been accepted into the programme, APSCo will charge them an administrative fee of £395 for which they can request up to two interns, or £595 for up to five interns.

The international aspect of the programme is a crucial benefit, Swain said, pointing to “the strong relationship” between the Manchester and Singapore universities.

This means, she said, “there will be a superb opportunity for Asian students to be placed at an APSCo UK member for their internship, and for those that are interested in moving into recruitment, there is the very real chance that — once graduated — they will have the opportunity to start their career at an APSCo member in Asia”.

Tap into talent earlier

The APSCo programme will help members “by removing a great deal of the time-consuming identification and initial sifting of candidates, and providing a robust supporting programme to make sure all parties (companies and interns) derive the maximum benefit internship”, Hunt noted.

When Swain first revealed the programme to Recruiter this autumn (‘Brightest stars in the firmament’, Recruiter, October 2013), she explained that offering internships would allow recruiters to tap into high-calibre talent earlier than through graduate schemes: “If we wait until they graduate and get the leftovers from PwC or whoever, we’re not going to find the people who can take our businesses forward.”

Step, a leading organiser of paid student work placements and internships, is to support APSCo to establish and manage administration for the initiative.
