Ep 29: How are two of the UK’s largest recruitment firms managing recovery post-lockdown? - a podcast by Recruitment & Employment Confederation

How did two major sectors - healthcare and logistics - react to the crisis to keep the nation moving and lead the recovery? We were joined by two seniors executives from UKICS, one of the largest providers of healthcare, life sciences and social care staffing solutions, and Staffline, the biggest recruiter in the UK and Ireland to discuss how they navigated the crisis, strengthened their working relationships with clients and managed their people to put them on the road to recovery.

You'll hear Mike Barnard, CEO of UK Independent Clinical Services (ICS), and Frank Atkinson, Group Managing Director of Staffline, discuss:
• Their lessons in managing client relationships during the crisis
• Challenges they faced with candidate screening and selection, and innovations that made it seamless
• Shifts in leadership styles in driving change
• Lessons from the crisis that have opened up new growth opportunities
• What flexible working looks like going forward
• How ICS and Staffline are planning their return to work.
