Happy New Year everyone! We’re starting the year as we mean to go on, so we’ve partnered with Trussell Trust Foodbank and donated £1,000 to our local foodbank in Bedford.
It’s our BIRTHDAY!!! Today we celebrate two years in business. This year has thrown us a few curveballs but we’re constantly learning, growing and improving.
When we started Octagon Recruitment Group 15 months ago, we had a corporate aim to try and make a genuine difference and give something back to those less fortunate than ourselves.
“I would highly recommend Steve. I’ve only been working with him for a short while and have found him to be extremely helpful, highly organised and very approachable. In the short time we have been working together we have already made 3 placements and hope to continue that trend in the years to come.”
“I would like to thank you for all your help with filling our Head of Electronics role. The main thing that has struck me when talking to Bhav is his efficiency, honesty, and speed of service compared to other agencies I work with. For this reason I would look to continue working with you.”
