At HR in One we understand how challenging entering or moving on in the world of work is. An assessment centre is a big part of the recruitment process for many graduates and employers and now more than ever understanding how to be successful at virtual assessment centres is vital. HR in One support universities to give their students live practical experience of a Virtual Assessment Centre.

This practical event includes case-studies, group exercises, interviews, presentations - all scored against competency criteria with attendees provided with detailed bespoke individual feedback via a developmental report summary.

At HR in One we are proud to be in a position to be able to offer a limited number of free places on our PACE programme. If you are responsible for supporting graduates into the world of work, or indeed you are a graduate looking for a role then please contact HR in One and quote “PACE OFFER” to register your interest.

As the UK faces the biggest job crisis in a decade, the number of employees on payrolls has dropped by 730,000 between March and July (ONS). Younger workers, older workers, and less skilled workers were hit significantly. Unfortunately, a bigger wave of unemployment is estimated in autumn. Employers will have to decide if they can afford to keep their workers when the furlough scheme ends.

The last thing on your mind maybe the possibility of redundancy, but knowing the facts will stand you in good stead should the worst happen. However, while this does sound daunting, sharpening up in areas that will demonstrate the right skills employers' need will certainly give you an advantage over other candidates. Present yourself in the best light with PACE.

We are delighted to announce our partnership with  Graduate Dawn , a dynamic coaching, mentoring and training services, specialising in helping anyone who is 'graduating' or furthering their career - moving from one phase of their life to the another.

Our shared passion and dedication to helping individuals and organisations personally and professionally develop, both career wise and business performance has led the synergies between the two businesses.

We look forward to working with Christine and her team at Graduate Dawn and would like to take this opportunity to welcome them to the HR in One partnership family.

I remember it like it was yesterday, the excitement the energy of going it alone becoming my own boss using what I had learnt during my time at Barclays HR. A HR business was incorporated on July the 16th 2004 as Competent Recruitment Solutions; however, something was missing, the name wasn’t right; the offering wasn’t only recruitment HR is vast.

What name could we have, which encompassed what we were offering, after many debates, it was staring right at us, out with the old Competent Recruitment Solutions and in with the new HR in One HR for everyone, the business had been rejuvenated with a mission to provide a polite, professional, and efficient service, on time and on budget.

So this is where HR in One’s journey began, having just received a redundancy payment from Barclays HR, I knew from my previous experience within the Airline industry there was scope for providing end to end recruitment solutions at Manchester Airport.

Through hard work, networking and perseverance, in January 2005 we gained our first RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) client SAS Ground Services UK (SGS) a newly formed ground handling business in the UK looking to grow at a substantial rate. HR in One became their Recruitment Partner and managed the recruitment process for both Manchester and Heathrow Airports for 4 years.

As we celebrate this milestone, we are thankful for all the support we have received from experts in the HR industry, to well-wishers and service providers/users, in particular I would personally like to thank my esteemed friend and mentor Janet Bell who has been my voice of reason and has guided me for the last 20 years.

We will continue to provide premium HR services to create better outcomes for everyone, especially in these challenging times, with our main focus being on the delivery of the PACE(Practical Assessment Centre Experience) programme.
