Specialist staffing company Blue Arrow ensures ‘the right people are in the right roles and the right environment to thrive.’

One of the UK’s largest recruitment firms, it places over 60,000 people in work each year across diverse industries from transport and hospitality to manufacturing and the public sector.

And it mirrors the support and attention it offers its job-seekers and business clients within its own ranks, creating a ‘family feel’ culture – ‘winning, learning and advancing together as One Blue Family.’

Clear salary banding and steps make it easy for employees to know what they must achieve to reach the next financial threshold, with pay increases no longer based solely on promotion.

And to support people on their development journeys, there’s a three-step programme taking them through from rookie recruiters to high-performing leaders. Employees can learn at a pace and place to suit them, with on-demand recorded modules supported by instructor-led workshops or practice sessions.

Blue Arrow actively encourages its people to enjoy their time away from work. It’s developed a work-free holiday checklist to help them prioritise their tasks before they go. And a dedicated ‘Out of Office’ team takes over from operational teams, allowing them to switch off, safe in the knowledge that their work is being taken care of.

And recognition is part of everyday life, with the leadership team hand-picking individuals who’ve shone as ‘recruitment superheroes’ for prizes, including the coveted ‘Gold Winners Trip’ and the annual BAFTAs (Blue Arrow Fantastically Talented Awards).
