Cornerstone Recruitment has been established in Lindley by entrepreneur Dru Widdowson to offer an alternative approach to resourcing for companies and career development for those seeking new challenges.
“I know from experience that the recruitment process can be confusing and frustrating for both the business and the applicant which is why I saw a gap in the market for a service that does things differently,” he said.
“When we recruit for a role we take time to meet everyone on our shortlist before introducing them to clients so that we can make sure they are a good fit, not only from the employer’s perspective bu t also from theirs.
“Our aim is to be genuinely helpful by offering clear, straight-forward advice and support, keeping everyone informed throughout the process and being open and honest with both clients and candidates,” added Dru.
Dru’s background is in sales, IT, business development and project management. During his career, he saw at first hand the difficulties of finding the right people to fill roles and he has now followed his passion for ethical business into the world of recruitment.
Cornerstone Recruitment will work with businesses across all sectors in Yorkshire. As part of its commitment to building trust, it has promised no hidden costs in any of its work.
The company aims to create long-term relationships between employers and employees, ensuring the right candidate is placed with the right business where their aspirations and aims are in line.
“People are the most valuable asset of any company – when they’re the right people,” said Dru. “Our ethical approach to recruitment will help businesses avoid many of the traditional problems with recruitment companies and save them wasted time, money and energy in the process.”
