Recruit Staff

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Gill Hermes, Senior HR Business Partner, Nisbets

gap provide regular market intelligence which helped us navigate through the impacts of Brexit, changes in local market demographics and focus on improving attraction and retention. This continues to bring us positive cost and efficiency benefits and set us up for future years when agility and flexibility will be even more crucial in the Retail and Ecommerce sectors. I have no hesitation in recommending gap to other fast-paced and cost-focused businesses.

General Manager, Matalan Distribution Centre

Thank you gap for your hard work throughout the implementation process. It was well planned, seamless, had clear goals and timing/transfer structures and completed on time despite setbacks, causing minimal impact to operations. The team is focused, committed and didn't let go if we were a little slow to react. We received great feedback from the workers transferred from the existing supplier and the advice given by gap's onsite team was clear and helpful.

Senior Buyer Indirect Procurement, Hallmark Cards

gap have been my sole labour provider since July 2017 for all areas of operations in our business – warehouse, QC, production operatives and line leaders. The team have a wealth of knowledge about the current labour market, they are friendly, hardworking and strive to provide 100% of labour requested even at short notice. Their order fulfilment has been excellent with our requirements as they've been able to provide 20 workers outside of peak and 90 workers during peak.

Dale Ford, Operations Manager, Eurilait

I can’t recommend gap highly enough and in my 22 years of HR, they are the only recruitment agency and provider of agency labour that constantly strive to meet business expectations, take time to understand our business needs, and adapt to meet our ever-changing customer demands. A friendly, professional approach at all times!

HR Manager, Deeside Cereals

There are a lot of agency providers in North Wales but for us, gap personnel sits at the top of the pile. They supply 100% of our agency requirements and respond effectively, timely and efficiently. The team do a fantastic job every week, understand the changes in the local area and keep us informed. They are ahead of the curve and keep us well serviced. Two areas where gap excel is in communication and taking time to understand our business and candidate requirements.

Operations Director, Boardlink

gap personnel support our requirements to a very high standard and always pay close attention to our business needs. By working closely with our local Account Manager, an induction programme was set up to develop and maintain a quality pool of employees. As the Allan Morris Recycling operation continues to grow, we look forward to the continued back up and support from gap personnel.
