ABOUT US
RESPONSIBLE RESOURCING
Our core business philosophy revolves around establishing an Ethical Resourcing Service to our clients and the workers we engage with. To achieve this we have made it a core pillar of the business to promote and support a number of resource options that typically get overlooked or require additional support and understanding from all parties. The ability to offer an opportunity to an individual that has the power to change their life is powerful motivation to push through any barriers that can complicate the process. Our experience to date has been positive for both workers and clients and this positivity is now being shared by the institutions we are dealing with to provide training and literally open doors to get these initiatives moving forward.
The critical piece of this is the support buy in from clients who are looking to enhance their own social responsibility efforts. Much of this can be complicated and challenging and requires a top down appreciation to provide a softer landing than normal for some of the workers we engage with on these initiatives. However the benefits gained from relatively small accomodations are personally and commercially significant.
Our core target groups are:
- Ex-Offenders (Released and on day release licence)
- Military Service leavers
- Women into construction roles
- Disabled workers into appropraite roles
CONSTRUCTION BACKGROUND
If there is one key lesson our construction background has taught us, it is that whatever level and whatever role we are resourcing for, success is only achieved by identifying the skills, experience and character each role requires and finding people that fit the brief. The changing and increasingly more complex and competitive working environments that exist now have resulted in the need to manage a flexible workforce that can react to the changing requirements imposed on any contractor, company or government body.
OUR CULTURE
From our conception Number 8 has applied an ethical and compliant mind set to all aspects of the business. Commercial pressures often influence the way recruiters operate but our ethos has never changed. Our first priority is to ensure the service we provide to our Clients is consistent and professional.
The resources we provide are accurately vetted to ensure their specific requirements are met. With an increasing obligation on contractors to provide a compliant workforce, our zero tolerance towards immigration and employment status irregularity provides our Clients with the confidence that they are not breaching legislation.
UPSKILLING OUR WORKFORCE
Individual development is very important to us at Number 8. For any Sub Contractors with the ambition and attitude, we look to provide the opportunity to train or obtain formal recognition of their skills. We believe if your workforce is always looking to improve, everybody benefits.To achieve all these things we have set up a back office support that provides efficient access to resources, comprehensive monitoring and accurate payroll services. Our goal is to provide an HR solution that not only adds value but is cost effective and trouble–free.
