Are you summer ready? We are!

How has this happened? We are halfway through 2015 already! Summer is here, even though the weather says otherwise.

Days are longer, spirits are higher and people are getting ready to enjoy holidays, festivals and events like Royal Ascot which took place last week.

This time of year is renowned for being a "little bit quiet" in the world of recruitment, but not at Morgan McKinley - things are busier and more exciting than ever! Did I mention that our UK business won best Banking & Financial Services Recruitment Agency? To learn more about the award take a read of my last blog.

Both London and our regional offices saw a healthy increase in client jobs being worked in comparison to June of last year. Our Windsor office has even started recruiting into new disciplines since their relocation to a stunning new office in Maidenhead, as well as adding additional headcount to their successful teams.

Within our Global Talent Acquisition team we continue to assist business growth plans with a number of exciting projects including: revamping our internal referral scheme to make it more competitive, launching our monthly Global Opportunities bulletin to enhance transparency about internal business opportunities, as well as developing a Morgan McKinley Alumni and a view to hosting events towards the end of the year.

There’s a buzz in our UK offices as we approach our summer company event which will see the team climb on board a luxury boat on the Thames to enjoy an evening of entertainment, food and a few well deserved drinks.

In addition to this, we have an event for our high achievers: Global Services Stars and Value Heroes (where top performers and individuals who have gone above and beyond are recognised). The event will be held in Spitbank Fort, a unique hotel in the middle of the sea just off the coast of Portsmouth.

Keep a look out on our social media sites for updates and pictures of the events which are taking place!

If, at this half year mark you are not feeling particularly positive about the next six months in your current role, or if you think life at Morgan McKinley sounds much more appealing - why not speak to a member of our Talent Acquisition team?
