Aberdeen recruitment agency TMM Recruitment has grown its team by a third.
A total of nine employees, five hired in the last six months, takes its headcount to 32, with new hires specialising in areas including accountancy and finance, supply chain, office support, IT and HR recruitment, as well as additions to the administration team.
Chief executive Amanda McCulloch said the expansion was part of the company’s strategic plan for growth, particularly in the technical disciplines of IT and engineering, while meeting particular recruitment demands emerging in the wake of the pandemic.
Formerly Thorpe Molloy Recruitment, TMM Recruitment was founded in 1997 by Jude Thorpe and Karen Molloy.
“Recruiters are very much in demand right now, playing a key role in helping employers navigate business and hiring challenges,” said McCulloch. “As employers struggle to identify the talent they need we provide trusted advice and consultation on hiring practice, candidate attraction, sources of talent and leadership.
“This is driving significant fee growth, this year to date fees are almost double the same period in 2021.
“We are experiencing a bounce back after the pandemic for professionals in accountancy and finance, HR, IT, supply chain, trades and marketing and communications in particular.”
She added: “Mirroring the national picture, there has been a steady increase in vacancies month on month, hitting a peak in May, while conversely there has been a sharp decline in the number of jobs filled by direct applicants as employers experience the constraints of candidate shortages and the challenges associated with candidate attraction.”
Based on Albyn Place in the Granite City, TMM Recruitment works across accounting and finance, engineering, HR, IT, legal, office support, supply chain and contracts, trades and executive search.
