Stansted Airport Chamber of Commerce

Select

Established in 1980, Select Appointments set out to provide a high quality and personal staffing service to clients and candidates alike, consistently providing a level of service that exceeded all customer expectations until it became a standard to be marked against. Today, as a Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For (2007 and 2008) and with the recent Best Franchise Recruitment Team of the Year behind us, we have a proven industry recognised formula for success. 

A result of the management background and business acumen of the Team, Select’s Harlow office is able to offer Local businesses and candidates across Harlow, Epping, Bishops Stortford, Stansted and surrounding areas both permanent and temporary staffing solutions and advice from junior positions through to Management and Director level. 

Select’s Harlow Director, Mike Mahoney, with a 25 year background in Human Resources Management from the client side, commented “Select’s goal is very straight forward - Finding Jobs for People and People for Jobs. There really is no rocket science to this industry, whatever others may lead you to believe. It is simply about properly listening and communicating at all times with the Client and Candidate, a skill that I have previously found sadly lacking in most recruitment companies, and then working with the highest passion and commitment to achieve the perfect match. It is only a complicated process if you make it such. Of course, having said that, a huge amount of work and dedication goes into achieving this success”. 

Vanessa Barnes, Business Manager and former Chair of the Harlow Chamber of Commerce, speaks highly of her team. “I believe that our professional, yet friendly approach, sets us apart from others. We are not satisfied with meeting our customer’s expectations, only in exceeding them at every level to deliver the kind of committed and caring service that the local business community deserves. Having established our recruitment delivery credentials with several major companies, our mission is to build on this and set new levels of customer service excellence for both Blue Chip and SME’s alike. We will always be our own biggest critic, something that continually drives us to new performance levels”. 

Select’s candidate registration process is always face-to-face, in-depth, and thorough, verifying all previous employment responsibilities and skills and offering the client a thorough skills testing facility. We are also able to offer candidates training on general IT systems for people trying to get back to work after a break, and our clients a private off-site interviewing facility.
