(Oops, back-dated post)…It’s April, it’s that time of year again and the National Minimum Wage is going up…
Date: 04 June 2019BEFORE WE START: We recently had an annoying website issue that has meant we’ve been unable to create new posts to our site. So…this post is from a LinkedIn article we published back at the start of April. It may be a bit outdated now BUT the information is still correct, and it’s important to […]
Roll up, roll up…it’s our 2019 Recruitment Service Brochure!
Date: 04 June 2019Yes, we thought it was about time we finally summed up our wonderful recruitment services in a nice shiny PDF format. Surprisingly, I (Kate here – hello!) hadn’t managed to do this over the past 7 years…too busy with all that recruitment malarkey! But, as Team Horizon has changed shape again at the start of […]

Date: 17 January 2019So, I’ve recently reached a bit of a career milestone… I have been working in the recruitment industry 18 Years. Not sure exactly how it’s been 18 years!

It’s World Mental Health Day which got us thinking…
Date: 10 October 2018As you might know, it’s world Mental Health Day today which got us thinking about a few things… Our brains are weird aren’t they? Clever, mysterious and mischievous. They’ll often do things we don’t want them to do and act in ways we can’t always control. Mental Health issues stem from one place; the spongey […]
Our First Ever Exhibition / We Love the Menta Business Show!
Date: 10 October 2018Well, a week has passed since we exhibited at our first ever Menta Business Show and we thought it was about time (after a hectic week!) to reflect on how it went.

Covering Letter Magic!
Date: 05 September 2018Most candidates will at some point have the “do I need to write a covering letter for this?” dilemma. Especially if it’s the 20th job you’ve applied for that day and you just don’t have the energy, words or enthusiasm to get something half-decent across to a potential employer. Or perhaps you’re worried about […]
Phew…that was FAST recruiting!
Date: 05 September 2018We recently had a super-quick turnaround when a client’s vacancy and a candidate’s search just happened to coincide at the perfect time! From our candidate sadly being made redundant on the Monday, to us taking the vacancy on Tuesday afternoon, and then an interview and offer by the Friday morning… all within the same week. […]

Date: 11 July 2018A lot of recruitment is quite heavily automated these days, which we think is a bit silly. Recruitment is all about PEOPLE so, how is a computer algorithm going to appreciate the transferable skills each candidate has, or their unique career and life journeys that make YOU the person YOU are… At Horizon we get […]
