North Recruitment

The north of England is one of Britain's most important economic regions and therefore also a significant source of skilled labour for businesses located not only in the UK, but also in Europe and other parts of the world. Traditionally the industrial heartland of the country, the economic landscape has changed significantly in the north of England, particularly in recent years, with the economy shifting from a reliance on heavy industry, textile production and shipbuilding to become a more serviced based and technologically sophisticated employment zone. Northern cities now offer a vibrant, growing investment opportunity and this also makes the region an attractive option for those in search of rewarding, short and long term employment.

An impressive number of companies now base their operations in the north of England, developing and manufacturing a vast range of products for both the domestic and export markets, as well as providing a range of services to companies around the globe. The main employment centres in the region have developed a sound international reputation, allowing companies to offer an ever expanding range of job opportunities. Fast expanding sectors include the food and tourism industry, as well as chemicals and engineering and even the aerospace industry. As a result of this diversity, the employment landscape has broadened significantly in recent years and now also offers opportunities far beyond specialist fields, including administrative positions, secretarial work and other office based careers. People with sales experience, human resource management skills and customer service training are particularly in demand.

Well established, professional recruitment agencies in the north of England like Daniel Adams are well positioned to offer a wide range of employment opportunities to those wishing to join the workforce in one of the UKs most dynamic locations. Their well trained and experienced staff help prospective candidates choose the right position, at the same time matching their skills to the needs of the many businesses operating in the region. The services offered by such agencies extend to guidance through the application process and training in interview techniques. This ensures candidates are carefully matched to the various jobs on offer, which in the long term benefits both the companies and their employees.

With robust markets and an enviable diversity of products and services, the north of England already hosts more than 700 American companies of varying sizes, including global brands such as General Electric and Google. With a population of over 9 million people, bigger than countries like Sweden and Austria, the region' skills pool is considerable and continuously expanding. This has made the region as a whole an attractive place for international firms to base their operations, which in turn means the prospects for employment are both attractive and far reaching.
