Interview with the Director
Lisa Byrne talks BR Recruitment.
Q. What led you to set up BR Recruitment?
A. I saw a gap in the market for a truly flexible and personalised recruitment agency to provide a service as a true ‘Business Partner’ to clients and candidates alike and I decided to take the plunge and set up my own business. The recruitment industry at the time, was dominated by large multinationals with rigid structures and often inflexible working practices and I believed that an independent agency would be better placed to offer a tailored and flexible service with the ability to respond quickly to the ever changing demands within the recruitment industry. I have never looked back.
Q. You are not the biggest, why not go to one of the big national agencies?
A. Yes, we’re not the biggest however we view this as a positive. Being an independent and privately owned agency we are best placed to respond quickly and innovatively to our clients and candidates ever changing requirements and ‘bespoke’ our services accordingly. Big isn’t always best as someone once told me! We offer a professional, effective, and personalised service that we have been told on many occasions, far exceeds the service you could receive from some of the larger, national agencies. I have a “hands on” involvement across all aspects of the recruitment service we provide which in effect means that decisions can be made quickly, giving our business the flexibility and continuity that you just can’t get when working with a larger agency. We invest heavily in training our staff and maintain strict quality control procedures covering all aspects of our service and regulatory requirements.
Q. What can you expect from BR Recruitment?
A. Honesty, transparency & integrity. A team of dedicated, enthusiastic & professional consultants with a combined 40 years recruitment experience and backgrounds which complement the specialised sectors which they work in. We put everything we have into ensuring that both our clients and candidates receive a professional and personalised service from start to finish and everywhere in between. We love what we do and I am convinced that the passion we have for our work translates into the service that we offer.
