17th October 2007New family-run recruitment agency

New family-run recruitment agency

EVEN before this week’s official opening Sandra Smart and her daughter Katie, of Smart Start Recruitment in Gillingham, had already been dealing with inquiries from both clients and candidates eager to make use of what this new recruitment agency has to offer.

Sandra has more than 10 years experience in Human Resources and management roles, including work for a national recruitment agency while daughter Katie has more than three years experience in HR.

The pair are working hard to ensure that Smart Start Recruitment fills the gap in the market that exists for a truly personal service.

Sandra explains: “I opened my own business because I love what I do and do not want to be restricted in providing the exceptional level of customer service that I aspire to deliver. We are not into the “numbers game” and put quality above quantity.

“We want to build strong and open relationships with candidates, spending time on gauging ambitions, character and skills.

“We will be opening on Saturday mornings because we understand that weekdays are often too hectic for some candidates.”

At Smart Start Recruitment they pride themselves on a first class service, because they care.
