12 Key Facts About GY:  How we work, how you benefit

A key part of my job is to win new clients for Gordon Yates. Where it's appropriate, I focus on the way we work:-

• We work face to face with clients and candidates, and in small teams within GY, to enhance co-operation and communication
  
  
• We provide integrated solutions - providing temporary, permanent and contract staff depending on the nature of our clients' needs
  

Whole Business Spectrum

• We work across the whole spectrum of business, aiming to provide a premium service in every sector
  
  
• We invest heavily in candidate flow through high profile media advertising, the internet, trade shows, secretarial college liason, international links - and consistent networking
  
  
• We invest in client development through targeted marketing and high quality HR research
  
  
• We invest in ourselves through focused training and development

If it's relevant, I bring to light key facts:-

• Gordon Yates is one of the largest recruitment advertisers in the Guardian - itself the largest national newspaper for recruitment advertising
  
  
• Each year, Gordon Yates (with the Guardian) produces the definitive report into support staff salaries, benefits and employment trends
  
  
• Gordon Yates is a fully recognised 'Investor in People' - a highly prized award sponsored by the UK Government, granted in recognition of management best practice
  
  
• Gordon Yates is a long term member of REC (the Recruitment and Employment Confederation - the recruitment industry's trade and training body)
  

Since 1947

• Gordon Yates, founded in 1947, is the longest established name in secretarial/skilled support staff recruitment
  
  
• Gordon Yates is the support staff specialist that spans London, with teams focused on City, Docklands, West End and West London

For me, the strongest selling point about Gordon Yates is the commitment of the people who work here.  Recruitment is full of people who sell.  Gordon Yates is different: it's full of people who care.  I've spent long enough in recruitment to value the difference.
