MSI Group

MSI Group is leading global recruitment company agency specialising in the supply of healthcare and pharmaceutical professionals.

Formed in 2002, the company works across 11 countries, providing staff on a temporary, contract and permanent basis. Clients include the NHS and other public, private and third sector organisations.

Any company is only as good as its staff and MSI truly believes that its people are its greatest asset.

MSI Academy provides customer-centric sales and business training, while a number of young people who started as apprentices have moved into management. Company-wide, some 15% of staff are or were apprentices.

MSI offers one of the best commission structures in the industry, as well as excellent promotion prospects. Last year, 70% of management positions were filled internally.

Video, rather than phone, calls were used to combat feelings of isolation among staff working from home at the start of the pandemic. Some teams met virtually three times a day to recreate the office sales environment, provide momentum and showcase successes.

Virtual quizzes and the chance to enjoy and drink and a chat with colleagues rounded off the working week.

The buzz of an office, however, tends to breed sales success, boost productivity and build strong working relationships and MSI's employees have been encouraged to return to the office, where possible.

CEO Nick Simpson used the End of Year awards to speak passionately about how ‘all being in it together' had helped MSI not just get through such a tough year but achieve growth.
