Recruitment firm Randstad has expanded its Business Support division this year in response to increasing demands for quality talent in the corporate and secretarial support functions, it announced. Under the proposals, the unit will now be organised into two specialist divisions: Corporate and Secretarial Support, and Human Resources—a sign of the growing strategic role of HR.
The Human Resources division will specialise in recruiting HR professionals in the areas of learning and development, compensation and benefits, organisation development, talent acquisition and recruitment, as well as HR business partners and generalists. Corporate and Secretarial will mainly focus on executive assistants, secretaries, corporate and admin support professionals and legal support.
Leading these divisions will be Josh Border, Associate Director for Sales, Marketing, Communications, Retail and Business Support who added, “This model will allow our clients to benefit from having a team of specialist recruiters who are committed to sourcing relevant high calibre talent for their businesses. Similarly our candidates will be able to work with consultants who are dedicated to their specific disciplines and industries – and gain access to a suite of quality jobs that will fit their career aspirations.”
