The Hampshire PA Hunt

I am so excited at the moment about a brand new role I am recruiting for. Apart from anything else, it’s unusual that I get to visit an old haunt of mine, the beautiful county of Hampshire and the role itself is part of the groundbreaking movement that’s taking force in terms of flexible working.

What’s really so wonderful about this role, I guess you’re probably thinking. Well, for me it’s the type of role that demonstrate’s the willingness and flexibility of an organisation and its culture to respond to social change and to adopt best practice. Most of all I am finding the process fun. For the last week or so, I’ve been helping our eminent Tax expert and lecturer, Robert Jamieson determine the best way to find his right-hand person who will organise his commitments and writing. Robert is an author and is well-known in the field of Tax because he trains those at the top of the profession today.

The role itself offers completely flexible hours (July and August off! – I’m so jealous) and the opportunity to work from home which will suit many people and the successful applicant will probably become typical of the country’s future workforce. There is a very strong desire out there amongst candidates for this kind of role. Anticipating a large response, I allowed only five days for application and have been thrilled to receive approximately thirty high quality candidates, which reinforces that perhaps this is indeed the way of the future.
