What We've Been Up To
Yolk Diversity Champions Podcast
A key topic close to Yolk's heart is Diversity & Inclusion within employment and ensuring it's embedded into recruitment practices. Over the last two years we have been bringing to life Yolk's very own Diversity Champions podcast in the aim to share learnings from our clients who are striving ahead in this area. We're not only educating ourselves, but also hoping to spread the word and help other businesses build on their D&I strategy.
Yolk Public Sector join the panel for "Careers in the Charity Sector"
Cardiff Metropolitan University invited Yolk Public Sector to join their panel discussion on Careers in the Charity Sector on 28th January 2021. We were thrilled to be able to offer advice to candidates looking to apply for roles in the charity space and received terrific feedback from the University saying:
"Your presentation was hugely helpful to students, giving them positive actions they can go and do is fantastic and I am so pleased we had you as a recruiter in the mix."
Yolk help DVLA recruit specialist roles
We are thrilled to have helped DVLA recruit a range of specialist roles which they previously were struggling to fill. Via the Crown Commercial Permanent Framework, we helped to create a bespoke vacancy advertising solution for DVLA and ran a dual-branded campaign. With 100% fill rate, we were able to work within both the budget and time restraints with 4 candidates appointed.
