Peapod is 1 year old!

So we have chalked up our first year as Peapod Recruitment, Wow that was quick! overall it’s been a good year, a learning curve and an experience.  We have built up new skills, re-acquainted ourselves with old ones and placed candidates along the way.  Hopefully you are a client reading this who has experienced our work and now have an employee placed by us, but also you could be a candidate or client who hasn’t worked with us yet, and I hope that that will change in the next year or so.

Don’t worry this won’t be a sales drive on what we can offer.  

Peapod was created by Sascha Rawlinson and myself coming up with an idea over coffee, that with her operational experience over a number of years and with a client viewpoint on work, along with my recruitment career with national recruiters over 12 years in hospitality recruitment, that we should combine our knowledge to create a friendly and personable company, avoiding all the usual fanfare and small print that comes with a lot of recruiters, keeping the terms simple with no hidden charges and getting the job done.

This has worked throughout year one on the whole, and we have done everything from appointing General Manager’s to Head Chef’s, contract catering Operations/Area Managers to CDP’s, its been hard work, however it has been rewarding and hopefully will continue into the next year. 

Hopefully the guide’s we have posted have been useful for CV’s and interviews and I have had some good feedback on these and how they have helped candidates get interviews, so if you haven’t seen them go and check them out.

So for year two, keep an eye on our blog which we hope will continue to interest you and also we will be writing more restaurant reviews of clients, potential clients and just good places to eat, after all we are in the business of food and good service.  And finally feel free to give us feedback, comments on the blog or email us directly as we want to grow this further to let you know what’s going on in the industry, we have our twitter site @peapodrecruit and so join us on here and you will know when the latest blogs are out and also see what is being tweeted in the industry with what we retweet as well.

Here’s to Year Two, we’re off to celebrate the occasion and then get back to helping you find that next role you are looking for!
