Retail
As one of the main barometers of the economy, retail has had its ups and downs over the past few years. The retail sector in the UK employs nearly 3 million people and contributes to c. 8% of our GDP, it is a constantly evolving, consistently challenging area to work in. As a result of this, companies need effective hiring and business strategies that will provide not only exceptional talent but that will also deliver shareholder value and strong financials in one of the most interesting global economic environments we have experienced for a while.
Our retail practice excels at delivering executive talent for high street retailers, multinational brand and retail services providers. With retail experts in all of our global offices, our substantial UK market knowledge extends into the international arena and we can offer a cohesive approach to your recruitment needs. Consultants have gained in-depth industry expertise that enables them to immediately understand clients’ requirements and provide a consultative approach and a bespoke solution to their recruitment needs. We complement this with a high level of candidate management, working closely with our candidates to ensure they are also moving their career in the right direction.
