candidates, set up interviews at its Almondview Business Park offices and quickly provide a crack cleaning team for Capital Cleaning’s owner, Moreland McDiarmid.
He said: “Enthusiasm and aptitude for our work is much more important than direct experience and I have been hugely impressed with the calibre of people Ingeus has encouraged to apply. I needed to recruit quickly and effectively and Ingeus saved me valuable time, expense and hassle.”

experience placements and voluntary work over the past three years, Robert had been unable to find permanent work since leaving college in 2013.
With the support of specialist employment advisor Lisa Efe from Ingeus, Robert brushed up his skills and now couldn’t be happier with his full time contract.
“Ingeus helped me write a strong CV and practice my interview skills,” said Robert. “They also offer lots of health support so I’ve had help with stress, asserting myself and general fitness.
“I love my new job, helping to keep the distribution centre clean and tidy. I’ve met new friends and it’s made me much more confident and happy.”
Moreland added: “We’ve recruited some really reliable, hardworking and genuine workers like Robert who are receiving lots of good comments from our client, whose premises they’re keeping spick and span. The people who work for me are vital in maintaining and growing the relationships we have with our clients and I’ll certainly be returning to Ingeus as we hopefully expand further in the future.”
