    Culture - it's vital.I decided to bring all of Talentia Group | B Corp™ into our HQ in Bristol - from all the corners of the UK.We needed to realign what makes us the best, what values we hold dear and what things we needed to stop doing.This culture that binds us together is a unilateral agreement is that we want our clients to describe us as the 'best' and if they don't, we need to do better.We all agreed to hold ourselves to a higher standard, which has had an immediate impact, I've seen CVs sent over to clients as late as 9 pm. Don't worry we don't need a reply outside your core hours!It's no secret, that January was a tough month with the new year growing slowly until we finally woke up at the end.My team has all agreed to be held to account for delivering for our customers, so if you see my name in your inbox asking for feedback or assistance, we are on a journey to be the very BEST at what we do and that means your voice matters massively to us.I welcome any existing or new clients, to hold us to the standard that you expect from your best recruitment partner, trust me - we will deliver.So very proud of my team - they dream as big as I do.#culture #standards #dreambig #doyourbest #delivering #whateverittakes

    Get to know Erik Zotter 👋Position: VPofPeople,Organization&Communications‑NorthAmericaEllab family seniority: 6 yearsQ: What is the most exciting part of working at Ellab?A: Working at Ellab since 2018 has been truly thrilling. There’s never been one day that I haven’t bounced of bed ready to contribute. In the past six years, the company has experienced tremendous growth while maintaining a family-like culture, reminiscent of the days when we were less than 200 globally. Interacting with our carefully selected team members, each bringing something special to the table, is a highlight. What excites me most is the equality and inclusivity practiced here; every individual, regardless of role or seniority, is valued equally. This fosters a collaborative and positive environment, making Ellab an exciting and fulfilling workplace.Q: How has Ellab US - and you - grown in the five years?A: We were less than 200 people globally in 2018, now were more than 200 in US alone, 800 globally and still growing.My role has evolved since inception. We needed scalable infrastructure to support that growth.I made it my mission to build our PTO, Benefits, Recruiting and Onboarding systems to be functional and streamlined with companies offering best in class customer service. Seeing our HR team grow globally has been amazing. We all met in Helsingor, DK this past November and worked out our plan to continue to develop Ellab as a great place to work with an engaged team and inspiring leadership. That sounds simple but it requires a dedicated, empathic team to deliver. Spending those days with our team solidified my confidence in HR globally. Jan Fledelius is in an incredible global leader, he was able to see our individual strengths and utilize them to build an awesome plan. I left that summit feeling like I had been at a family reunion and truly miss them all. Q: What is your most important job?A: With such high growth goals globally, I think the most important part of what I do is to make Ellab an awesome place to work. The only way to do that is through authenticity.You build structure and a culture that makes sure everyone can just focus on what they are good at, knowing they’re taken care of and have a path forward.If you accomplish that then getting people to want to work here becomes the easy part.Word of mouth is huge; having an army of happy employees speaks volumes.Looking toward the future and my new role; it brings IT under my wing as well.The goal is set at providing a seamless approach to HR & IT. That means every employee and recruit gets white glove service: Solid hardware, software & support; A carefully crafted, industry leading benefits package, and competitive compensation are just the beginnings.This year we’re striving to automate our annual performance review process, build career paths and tie in training for leaders as well as technical roles.

    As I reflect on my first year at Actica Consulting, I am filled with gratitude and pride for the journey I have undertaken as the Head of Talent Acquisition. A lot has happened since joining; I have had the opportunity to implement a new Applicant Tracking System (ATS), which, despite the challenges of data migration, has proven to be a huge success. During this time, we have updated our interview guides, streamlined our recruitment processes, and seen increased engagement from our business. We have significantly reduced our Preferred Supplier List (PSL), ensuring better partnerships whilst building strong relationships with our hiring teams. Currently, I am working on refreshing our website, creating authentic employee testimonials for our careers page, upskilling our Talent Acquisition (TA) team, and enjoying many delightful ad hoc pizza lunches courtesy of one of our Directors! Looking ahead, my goals include continuing with interviewer training, initiating an employer branding strategy, and developing our direct sourcing approach. Throughout this journey, Actica’s unwavering support has been evident. One of the personal challenges I faced was ensuring my gorgeous Cockapoo, Honey, adapted to being left alone at home. She has severe separation anxiety, which is not uncommon with lockdown puppies. After working from home for three years, it was a challenge for both of us to get used to her being left alone. Actica allowed me to flex my time working from home and the office to gradually build her comfort level. She can now manage four hours alone, which is a significant milestone for both of us. Moreover, Actica’s comprehensive BUPA cover allowed me to undergo an operation on my arthritic finger last month. Employee wellbeing and health are critical to ensuring we have high-performing teams. Actica's values are not just words on paper; they truly inform our behaviour. Excellence, Trust, Partnership, and Client-focus are embedded in every aspect of our work. As an employee, I feel Actica and my fellow Acticans have significantly demonstrated these values. I am proud to be part of an organization that prioritizes client satisfaction and cultivates long-term relationships. Here’s to many more years of success and collaboration at Actica Consulting!If you’re ready for a change then think about joining Actica Consulting #acticacares #acticavalues #oneyearanniversary

    When partnering with organizations, I believe getting as much information as possible about the company and specific teams that our candidates will be joining is crucial. Corporate culture is constantly evolving, and highlighting unique aspects of a role and environment can help us to identify candidates that will be strong fits for the long-term. I'd love to hear what people enjoy about their current organization or what's most important to them when joining a new team.
