A clear vision attracts candidates

"The money we collect goes to cancer research. When we take on new employees, we're neither able nor willing to compete on the basis of high wages and benefits like some other organisations. As we don't yet have a strong brand as an employer, our strategy has been to attract candidates with different priorities. We're looking for people who want to work in a smaller, less bureaucratic organisation, who have high ambitions and a clear, straightforward vision for the future."

Brett Terry is responsible for HR matters and organisational development at Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Around 140 employees work at the office in High Holborn in central London. Poolia's first job for Breakthrough was the permanent placement of an acting finance manager, and this was followed by IT staff and administrators.

"We're growing quickly, and to manage this we must constantly find just the right people and succeed in retaining them. This is why we need a partner like Poolia, who understands our business and can help us to quickly find the right candidates with both the right competence and attitude, and not least of all the right expectations of the job. The combination of social and professional competence is particularly important, and I've been impressed by Poolia. This is the first time that a consultancy company has first of all looked at our values and visions before moving on to discuss business," says Brett Terry.
