Arras People Celebrates Seven Years of Business

April 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Arras People, the Project Management Recruitment Specialist, are celebrating the company’s seventh birthday throughout the month of April. The month-long celebration will be highlighted by a full day of free Project Management Careers Clinics for project management candidates.

Formed in 2002, Arras People has established itself as the premier project and programme management Recruitment Company in the UK, bringing unparalleled levels of service to clients and candidates alike. Recognising the growth in the UK project management market as more organisations took a project centric approach to delivery, the founders used their own experiences to form a company that was able to offer knowledge based recruitment services in response to the growing demand. The principal of using experienced project management practitioners to deliver recruitment services still holds strong and defines the company in the marketplace.

According to Managing Director and Co-Founder John Thorpe, “It is an approach that is based on respect to all our clients, be they clients looking to take on new hires or candidates looking for a new opportunity.”

“It sounds simple, but from our own experiences of the marketplace and from conversations we have with individuals, it still marks us out in the crowd.”

Unlike most who celebrate their own birthday, Arras People will be the ones bestowing the gifts this month – namely a free day of the popular Project Management Careers Clinics on the 27th April. These 30-minute one-to-one telephone consultations assist project management professionals who need independent advice in their pursuit of the next step in their project management career. Most often, clinic participants gain advice and feedback on their CVs. However, other clinic participants have used the clinic to get a better feel for the job market, received advice on project management training, and guidance about developing their careers.

The clinic, which normally charges a small fee, was recently offered for free at the Project Challenge Spring Show 2009 at the NEC Arena in Birmingham. So strong was the response for the service that the available slots were fully booked online within 10 days.

“We have a lot of good memories to look back on, and we think going forward that the Clinics will continue to stand out as our unique way of extending our expertise in the field to project and programme management professionals,” said Dan Strayer, Marketing Co-ordinator at Arras People. “When you get down to it, the Project Management Careers Clinic is one of the most popular tools we have to show that we are here for our candidates. Any way you cut it, everybody is a winner this month with Arras People.”

A web page will be updated throughout the month with features and information on how prospective free clinic participants can register for an open slot 27th April. Keep checking in at www.arraspeople.co.uk for details.
