Get hired and standout in a crowded marketplace | Pamela Caldwell CEO CH Solutions, IT Recruitment | Ep30

Get hired and standout in a crowded marketplace.

With unemployment on the rise, I wanted to bring on my best friend and business partner Pamela Caldwell to speak about how we can all be pro-active when it comes to our job search, plus, the mistakes she often encounters.

Pam is a Mum, Wife and Business Owner.

She is the CEO of CH Solutions, which she has grown with Georgie over the past two and a half years.

Pam started recruiting in IT in 2006 in a world before LinkedIn went global. Can you imagine? Recruitment has evolved since then, and it is more important than ever to utilise all tools at your disposal to get your hiring right the first time.

We know all too well the cost of a 'bad hire' and working with Pam will give you access to a true consultative style. She advises at each stage of the hiring lifecycle to strategically eliminate the risk where possible, every time. From working with the worlds largest investment banks to SME's across the Globe, three common themes remain prevalent when it comes to growing your workforce: Time, Quality, Cost.

Pam will partner with you to ensure you analyse and prioritise these critical factors in the correct order. Pam believes building long-term client relationships is key to the success of the best Recruitment Consultants in the market and prides herself on partnering with a business and its people to get to the core of its culture and needs.

Every business is different and unique, and Pam goes above and beyond to understand your 'why'. CH Solutions started with a passion for making a difference in the world of recruitment.

Watching our people grow and develop their career with a business we have partnered with is truly rewarding. The foundations of our company will always remain the same: honest, consultative, passionate and innovative.
