Empire, the Aberdeen-based human resources (HR), employment and health, safety and environment specialist, said yesterday it was to launch an HR recruitment agency.
The new business will be led by Claire Buchan, who has more than eight years’ experience of HR recruitment from entry level to executive appointments.
Empire, which also has offices in Glasgow, Inverness and London, said the recruitment division and an associated website would be launched during December.
Managing director PJ Chalmers added: “We believe the time is perfect for initiating a new HR recruitment service.
“Finding the right individual for a job takes a great deal of expertise, and choosing the right person in a candidate-rich market can be overwhelming.
“Recruitment isn’t just about reading through CVs, it involves a complex analysis of skills and ability, as well as thorough pre-employment checks.”
Ms Buchan, business development and recruitment manager for Empire, said: “Finding the right HR professionals can be challenging for employers, particularly in a marketplace where there are lots of highly skilled individuals seeking employment.
“The new service aims to make life easier for employers, focusing on the expertise within Empire, underpinned by an advanced candidate online portal.
“We intend to dramatically change the candidate and client experience and become the number one provider of HR recruitment services in the north-east.”
