  • Leading the Way

    Posted on Wednesday, February 20, 2019 by Venn Group — No comments

    In the current political climate, there is constant discussion taking place on the topic of leadership. Politicians across parties are making public stands against their heads for various reasons, spurring us to consider the qualities of a successful leader. We asked our consultants for their thoughts on what makes someone a strong leader. The four recurring themes that emerged from this ...

  • Coping with Pressure

    Posted on Monday, February 18, 2019 by Maire Gerrard — No comments

    We are still mere weeks into the new year, which brings with it a whole host of new opportunities. While you will have heard much in the way of seizing the day and the prospects of a fresh start, this type of rhetoric can also bring with it a monumental amount of pressure. If you had a particularly fruitful or enjoyable 2018 – whether in your personal or professional life, or better yet, both – ...

  • From Graduate to Recruitment Consultant

    Posted on Tuesday, February 12, 2019 by Ben Bruce-Smith — No comments

    18 months ago I had just finished the last of my days at university and had the daunting task of trying to find my way onto the first rung of the employment ladder. Before leaving, I had numerous meetings with a careers advisor, who tried to help me unravel my calling in life and inform me about the job best suited to me.  In truth not much came out of these meetings, apart from learning of an ...

  • The Importance of a Positive Mental Attitude

    Posted on Monday, February 11, 2019 by Riley Garnett — No comments

    It seems that the majority of my family, friends and vague acquaintances that drift in and out of my life seem to be affected to some extent by anxiety. The magnitude and the implications of this vary greatly depending on the individual. For some, the affects of anxiety are crippling to the extent that they can’t leave their bedrooms, let alone their houses. Others will appear to be functioning ...

  • Walk to London for Myton Hospice

    Posted on Friday, February 8, 2019 by Venn Group — No comments

    Congratulations to Ryan O’Toole and Jack McManus, who embarked on a seriously difficult challenge to raise money for Myton Hospice. They walked from the hospice in Warwick to Venn Group’s London Bridge office, spanning 153 miles. This charity lies particularly close to Ryan’s heart, after caring for his father in 2018: “I experienced first-hand how generous, caring and truly amazing the people ...

  • Happy Chinese New Year

    Posted on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 by Maire Gerrard — No comments

    Today marks the first day of the Chinese New Year; a time of great celebration across the globe for one sixth of the population. Every year correlates to one of the 12 signs in the Chinese zodiac, with 2019 being the year of the pig. In Chinese culture, pigs are a symbol of wealth, and the following 12 months bode to be beneficial for all. Over the next 15 days, there will be celebrations ...

  • £28,000 raised for Cancer Research UK

    Posted on Monday, February 4, 2019 by Maire Gerrard — No comments

    Every year on the 4th February, we recognise World Cancer Day. Currently 9.6 million people die every year from the disease, and it is estimated more than a third of cases are preventable while a further third are curable if detected and treated early. This is why it is more important than ever to raise awareness and funds, to help accelerate medical breakthroughs. In 2018, Venn Group voted to ...

  • Venn Index Q4 2018 - Recruitment Report

    Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2019 by Venn Group — No comments

    The latest release of the Venn Index points to contract recruiters’ confidence remaining stable in the final quarter of 2018.  The threat of a general business slowdown in response to much-discussed anxieties over Brexit – in particular no-deal – has failed to materialise.  Overall, as usual, broad aggregate totals distract from significant variations between sectors.  After a robust start to ...

  • To Err is Human

    Posted on Monday, January 28, 2019 by Elly Hanna — No comments

    This year I am going to………. A new year regularly stimulates reflection and realignment, and many will have started 2019 with goals and aims for the year ahead. As we approach the end of the January, it is about now that even the best intentions can begin to waver. Whether it be finding a new job, learning a new skill or a health goal, it can be hard to maintain drive when routines settle, and ...
