Whilst we have utilised the Meridian branch network through out the UK, we still operate via one point of contact through Ben Spence, this ensures the level of service expected is maintained. I have no hesitation in recommending Meridian Business Support to clients wishing to work with a reliable labour provider. Simon Marson, Senior Project Engineer Meridian has been a life line of support to Sussex Innovation over the past year. We had irregular and frequent needs and were able to rely on very able flexible staff coming through at very short notice. The management are engaged and on the ball and really got to know our needs during a tough period. The whole process ended with us recruiting a fantastic temp on a permanent basis. We would recommend Meridian in Croydon to others. Saffron Saunders, Centre Manager We have worked with Meridian’s Newcastle under Lyme branch for four years and have always found them to be very knowledgeable about both our market and our business. They are always very helpful and willing to assist where they can and are polite and friendly at all times. Meridian consistently keep in contact to make sure everything is going well and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering working with them Helen Podmore, Community Service Manager We use Meridian primarily for temporary and additional staffing of our delivery drivers. Meridian can provide efficient and reliable staff, at short notice to fulfil this requirement. This is an area of extreme importance to us as the drivers come into direct contact with our customers and can provide the ‘lasting impression’ at the end of our sales process. I am pleased to say that Meridian and its drivers have not let us down yet and we will continue to use them Nigel Slawson, Health & Safety and HR Manager Meridian has supplied all disciplines of M&E staff to us for 5 years. I find them to be very knowledgeable of our business and our requirements. They are always honest, professional and reliable and I have been very happy with the service they provide.

Stephen Dearden, Director I have worked with Meridian for around five years, they provide me with a variety of M&E positions, including Senior Operations appointments, Project Engineers, electricians, support staff, administration, full time, part time, permanent and temporary. The service they offer is excellent, they listen to my requirements and offer ideas and solutions to my problems, there is always regular contact and I find them to be reliable and honest. I would highly recommend Joe Firth, he is an asset to your company and a valuable asset and advocate for Meridian.

Craig Foster, Electrical Contracts Manager EXPLORE LATEST NEWS NATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP WEEK 2023 This week celebrates the 16th annual National Apprenticeship Week, recognising and celebrating the achievements of apprentices across the country. Meridian champions the development of all our team. From entry-level apprentices to our Senior Leadership Team, all are actively encouraged to improve their knowledge and skills, whether that if through internal or external courses, such as apprenticeships. With this year’s theme for National Apprenticeship Week being ‘Skills for Life’, we wanted to share with you some words from people across our business studying apprenticeships to upskill themselves and celebrate their achievements. Dee Dee, our HR Advisor, is studying for her Senior HR Level 7 qualification following the completion of her Level 5 apprenticeship in Human Resource Management in 2022. “I completed a two-year, Level 5 Apprenticeship in Human Resource Management in July 2022. I am really glad I’ve chosen to do it as an apprenticeship as I have not only learnt the theory, but I have also gained practical on-the-job experience. I’ve enjoyed studying Level 5 so much that in December 2022, I enrolled in a Level 7 apprenticeship. This consists of live work-based projects allowing me to further expand my knowledge and gain valuable work-based experience in strategic HR Management. To me, apprenticeships add so much more value than studying at the local college or university as it allows me to gain knowledge, skills and behaviours which enable me to do my job more effectively!” Abbey Abbey is a long-standing member of the Meridian accounts team, currently studying her AAT level 3. “I am currently studying AAT Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Accounting with The Apprentice Academy in Manchester. Studying an apprenticeship rather than going to university has allowed me to get the vital accounting qualifications I need whilst working on the job and gaining experience. In my most recent level of AAT, I studied a variety of units such as advanced bookkeeping, final accounts preparation, management accounting costing and indirect tax. I have been able to implement this knowledge I have learnt into my everyday role and understand the background behind what I am doing in my job and how it relates to the bigger picture. Apprenticeships are such an amazing opportunity offered by Meridian! Sophie Sophie is our Content Marketing Executive and is currently studying for her Marketing Executive Level 4. “I am in the midst of studying for my Marketing Executive Level 4 qualification with Apprentify. The course has taught me so many valuable skills that I am able to apply to my work at Meridian. In doing work-based studying, I am able to put my skills into practice and develop them further to become a more knowledgeable marketer. After completing my degree in 2019, studying for an apprenticeship has given me the opportunity to build upon my prior knowledge whilst experiencing the world of recruitment marketing, first-hand. I have gained so much in the 10 months of studying, none of which would have been possible without Meridian offering such a wide variety of opportunities to help me develop in my career.” Find out more about Meridian’s roles and the learning opportunities we offer on our website.

With greater economic uncertainty, businesses are struggling with low candidate numbers and pressure on client budgets, therefore slowing down hiring activity through the end of 2022. Permanent placements have declined for the third consecutive month, and at the fastest rate, whereas billings for temp staff increased, albeit only slightly. Throughout December, the demand for workers lessened, with vacancies increasing at the slowest rate since early 2021. However, due to the ever-increasing cost of living crisis, starting salaries and temp wages have both increased however, this was the softest pay increase in 20 months. Rates of starting pay are increasing at a slower rate. Pay pressures softened towards the end of 2022, but stayed strong in regard to historical data. Both starting salaries and temp pay are at their lowest since April 2021. All higher pay rates were linked to roles with higher competition for staff and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. All the monitored regions in England, noted lower levels of permanent staff appointments, with the South of England seeing the highest level of decline. However, the South did see the sharpest increase of temp billings of all monitored regions. Demand for staff was higher across the private sector in December than within the public sector, with the private sector looking for higher amounts of temporary staff, whilst the slowest level of demand was for permanent public sector recruits. Across the seven monitored employment categories for permanent, healthcare roles saw the sharpest increase in need for staff, whilst Construction saw the fastest drop in vacancies. Temporary staff vacancies increased throughout all ten monitored categories in December. Retail, Hotel & Catering and healthcare seeing the steepest rise in demand. Executive and professional saw the slowest demand overall. Read the full report from the REC and KMPG here. Read Full Story 24 Jan REPORT ON JOBS - DECEMBER In this month’s #ReportOnJobs from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and KMPG, the UK is seeing a struggle with candidate shortages due to concerns about the current state of the economy. Permanent placements fell for the second consecutive month, temp billings rose slightly, and all vacancies grew at the softest pace for 21 months. Overall demand for staff grew at the weakest rate since February 2021, with temporary vacancies expanding faster than that of permanent roles. Candidate supply is seen to be stabilising; following the softest drop since April 2021, it is still falling at a historically fast rate. Pay pressures are easily slightly following a more delicate drop in staff supplies. However, competition for workers and the rising cost of living is continuing to increase the rate of starting salaries and temp wages. Although, inflation rates continued to ease, hitting their lowest for 19 months. The most recent increase in permanent starter pay was the lowest since April 2021, whilst temp growth saw an 18-month low. Higher pay rates were linked to more competitive roles and the increased cost of living. The overall supply of workers continued to decrease throughout November at a much higher rate than the average of the last 25 years. Less foreign workers heightened reluctance to change roles due to the cost of living increases and changes to labour market rulings are all contributing factors to the lack of candidate numbers. However, the recent fall was the weakest for 18 months among permanent and temporary workers. Three of the four English regions used within the survey saw lower permanent staff appointments, with the fastest reduction recorded in London. However, The Midlands were the only region to note a modest placement rise. The highest level of increase was recorded in temp billings within the private sector, with public sector placements seeing a marked decrease. Eight of the measured ten categories noted an increased demand for staff, with nursing/medical/care sectors leading the demand, whilst Construction remained unchanged, and IT noted a slight reduction. CEO of the REC said ‘“This month’s data emphasises that while employers are moderately more cautious in the face of economic uncertainty, this is not yet a major slowdown in hiring. While permanent recruitment activity has dropped from the very high levels of earlier in the year, the pace of that drop has tempered this month. "In contrast, temporary hiring has accelerated again in the run-up to Christmas. There are clearly some seasonal factors at work here, with retail and healthcare recruitment leading the way. But there may also be some switching to temporary going on, as firms maintain flexibility ahead of next year. "As the economic outlook weakens, we can expect to see falls from historic highs across our measures, but it is notable that pay and vacancies are still growing, although at a much lower rate. "A flatter period in the labour market is inevitable in this current economic climate, but some major underlying factors, including labour shortages and technological change, are supporting demand. The main way to boost performance is to unlock growth by businesses putting their people planning first, as a strategic way to enhance productivity. Government can help through skills and immigration reform. Boosting growth is the only way to ensure a prosperous country for all of us.” You can read the full report here. Read Full Story 13 Dec REPORT ON JOBS - NOVEMBER In this month’s Report on Jobs from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), there has been a marked decline in permanent placements, the first decline since February 2021. These statistics are following heightened uncertainty around the current state of the economy, with the cost of living continuing to rise. Due to this economic downturn, people are much more hesitant to look for new roles or switch to anything different. The UK is continuing to see a decline in candidate numbers, and due to the pressures of the cost of living, businesses are starting to see increased pressure on salary expectations and higher competition for staff. However, rates of inflation in salaries and temp pay growth fell to an 18-month low. The demand for staff continued to grow throughout October, with the total supply of candidates falling sharply once again, however, the rate of vacancy growth slowed down for the sixth consecutive month. Numbers of permanent staff fell across all monitored regions in England during October, with London seeing the highest drop and the Midlands currently seeing a decline in temp billings. Slower increases in the demand for staff were shown across the public and private sectors. The weakest growth in vacancies was for temporary roles within the public sector. Permanent staff vacancies are continuing to grow throughout the UK, though at much weaker rates than in October 2021. Nursing/Medical/Care roles topped the list with the need for short-term staff growing, with retail placing at the bottom.Chief Executive of the REC, Neil Carberry commented “The economic and political uncertainty of September and October has caused employers to become more cautious in their approach to hiring than during the frenzy of earlier in the year. Decision-making timelines for permanent hires have been extended, for instance. But vacancies and pay are still rising, temporary worker demand is high, and permanent hiring has fallen for the first time in almost two years. Activity, overall, is still well in advance of pre-pandemic levels. We will need to watch how this story develops over months to come, but so far this data suggests heightened employer caution, not a retreat from the market.”Read the full report here. Read Full Story 15 Nov LABOUR MARKET TRACKER - NOVEMBER In this month’s Labour Market Tracker from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), new job adverts are at a high point, but in the face of economic uncertainty, employers are struggling to fill the roles. There were 154,000 jobs posted throughout the end of October, 3.9% lower than that of September and the previous week which saw 217,000 job posts. The number of active job postings with between 1.4 and 1.5million active adverts since August. There has been a marked increase in adverts from the education and childcare sectors, with an increased need for the likes of school secretaries and childminders. Due to the high increase in bar and waiting staff at this time of year, saw a significant decline in job postings. The highest level of job postings are found in the North West, with positive growth being in Blackpool (9.3%), Lancaster & Wyre (2.1%) and East Cumbria (0.2%).According to John Gray, Vice President of the REC “The number of new job postings in the week beginning 17th October was 70,000 fewer than the previous week, which may well be a reflection of the general volatility and uncertainty we are seeing in Westminster and the economy. This, combined with the lowest unemployment rate over the past 20 years suggests that, even in this time of volatility and instability, we are still seeing a very tight labour market.” Read Full Story 08 Nov BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR AWARDS We are delighted to announce that Meridian Business Support has placed at 52 within the Top 100 Companies to Work for (mid-size) league table at the ‘Best Companies to Work For’ Awards!This placement is across all companies and sectors in the UK, with only a handful of recruitment businesses joining us so it is a very, very special award to have achieved!This placement comes off the back of our Best Companies success earlier this year, where Meridian gained the exclusive 3-star accreditation, along with placing:· 17th Best Recruitment Company in the UK · 11th Best Company in the Southwest· 26th Best Company in the NorthwestThese last three years have been extremely difficult for everyone, and we think this makes our achievement even more special. Congratulations to all of our team on this fantastic achievement! Read Full Story 08 Nov LABOUR MARKET TRACKER - OCTOBER Looking back at the last month, there has been a marked fall in the posting of new jobs, which hasn’t been seen to this extent since April of this year. There were around 143,000 new jobs posted in the final week of September, similar to that of April and 8.3% lower than the number of job ads throughout August. With around 1.45million active job adverts across the UK, this is now at the lowest point since the pandemic. However, there has been a marked increase in adverts for jobs within the education sector including secondary school teachers, secretaries and crossing patrollers. Chief Executive of the REC, Neil Carberry stated, “Weekly jobs postings have returned to levels last seen in April this year. Employer demand is still significant, but a cooling-off is no surprise. With inflation high, and employers concerned about the economic picture, some moderation in hiring from the sugar rush of the past year was predictable.”Across the UK, the West Midlands saw the highest rate of growth in job postings, closely followed by Southampton, West Cumbria, and Telford & Wrekin. However, at the other end of the scale, Northern Ireland saw a noticeable decrease in job postings, dropping by a rate of up to 16.2% on the previous month.Read the full report here. Read Full Story 18 Oct REPORT ON JOBS - SEPTEMBER The latest report from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG showed a further slowing down in recruiting across the UK. Permanent appointments and temp billings saw a slow rate of growth, the weakest growth in around 19 months with the uncertainty over the outlook of the economy and limited staff availability.September saw hiring take a hit throughout the month, with candidate shortages and a struggling economy seen as the two key impacts on filling roles, with September seeing the weakest rise in both temp and perm billings in 19 months. The increase in the cost of living is causing candidates to be looking for roles that pay higher, with companies being unable to live up to the expectation of a rise in salary. However, there is a strong demand for staff, with many open job roles to be filled, but due to the candidate shortage and the weaker economic climate, recruiters are finding the roles more difficult to fill.The UK has seen a sustained slowdown in temp billings throughout September, which has been a gradual slowing since February of this year. Although this is seen as the average of this time of year, this was the most notable slowing down in around 18 months. Recruiters have noticed this is due to the weak economic climate and low candidate numbers.Permanent placements however have seen a slight increase in September, but only a modest increase. However, the candidate shortage across all sectors is making recruiters proceed with caution in their outlook on hiring. The only part of the UK seeing a decrease in perm placements is the South of England. Total vacancies have seen their softest increase in 19 months. The increase in the need for workers is growing, but the total amount of skilled vacancies is growing. The demand for temporary staff was high within the private sector throughout September, whereas the public sector was calling out for permanent staff. However, within both sectors, although demand was high, the demand is slowing down.Staff availability is becoming an issue as the overall supply to the UK has declined for the 19th successive month. This decline has been driven further by the fall in permanent and temporary staff numbers. Permanent staff are seeing more of a decline than temporary, with the pace of this decline softening slightly for the first time in around 18 months. A key factor in this is the current economic uncertainty, with candidates being more hesitant to apply for roles at this current time. These numbers are closely linked to that of a low unemployment rate and the impact of Brexit. Companies are facing pay pressures at this time, with temp wage inflation hitting a 15-month low point. Although wages are still increasing slightly to match with the rising cost of living in the UK. However, in terms of permanent staff, pay is still rising at a soft rate, with starting salaries increasing for the 19th consecutive month.

Read Full Story 07 Oct CV WRITING CHECKLIST When applying for a new role, your CV is the first representation of you that will be viewed by the employer, so it is vital to make a good impression. There are many key aspects to include within your CV, so the recruiter can help in finding you a role, or give the employer a view of what you have done previously. On average, it takes employers six seconds to decide on whether to continue reading your CV, so ensuring your CV covers all aspects of you and your work experience straight away is crucial. We have written a plan of what to include within your CV and how much detail to go into. Following this guide will help you to incorporate the correct details and hopefully secure your new role.[SS1] · Personal detailsClearly state at the top of your CV, your name, and contact details including your date of birth, home address, phone number, and email address, so the employer can contact you easily, should you be successful. · Grades/QualificationsWhere necessary, detailing acquired qualifications can help in showing your skills to a potential employer. Listing qualifications such as degrees, A levels, BTECs, apprenticeships, and all other relevant qualifications is key, as some roles require certain qualifications to be considered for the role. · EducationNo matter the time since being in education, employers are interested in knowing where and when qualifications were obtained. · Work experienceDetail all information of current and previous roles. Include start and end dates, job titles, and a sentence about the company itself and what your role involved, and your key responsibilities within the company – but keep it brief! Add your most recent job at the top and work backward. If there are any gaps in your employment history, add this in and include a short reason as to why. · Skills and achievementsIf you have skills that you think may be relevant to the role itself, including skills such as first-aid, computer proficiency, communication skills, organisational skills, and such like, include them in your CV. Adding the use of a driving license and safety training you have completed is also a vital skill to include that will be relevant to most jobs. · Hobbies and interestsThe inclusion of hobbies and interests on a CV is hotly debated. We would recommend including these hobbies if they are relevant to the job you are applying for. If not, keep them for the interview. · Most importantly, keep all points relevant – don’t waffle!
