ACS Recruitment
A massive increase in demand for recruitment services in the retail sector has led a Northamptonshire agency to set up a dedicated resource hub for major on-site solution accounts at its town centre offi ces. ACS Recruitment, which names a number of
ecommerce retail operations among is contract clients, set up the new hub to help cope with the change in emphasis on retail away from stores and onto ecommerce sites. Chris Wright, Sales Director of ACS Recruitment
cited the example of a client for which ACS Recruitment provides staff for both its Northampton warehouse and its Milton Keynes operation. “We’ve provided a service for Northampton for some time and have recently taken on responsibili- ty for the Milton Keynes warehouse, too,” said Chris. “In this instance, we have tripled our supply levels across our provision. “So many customers have switched to shopping
on the internet since the coronavirus pandemic, and the retailers have to react quickly to make sure they have the people to fulfi l the orders and keep customers happy.” Another client, which has recently added a

purpose-built fulfi lment centre in Peterborough to its two existing Rushden distribution centres to cope with the huge demand for its global brands. T e Northamptonshire hub will provide a central resourcing service
to account managers based at clients’ sites. Where increased work- force is required, the resource hub will identify, interview and allocate appropriate workers, leaving the account manager free to continue the day-to-day service ensuring clients have a workforce of the size it needs, with the skills they need. Chris Wright added: “Account managers are working with and for
clients making sure we are fi lling the vacancies they have at any one time to keep the operation running smoothly and effi ciently. T e re- source hub will bring together a bank of candidates that the recruitment consultants can identify and place at short notice, taking the pressure off the account managers and freeing them up to do the job they are in place to do.”
