Following the success of its first Talent Academy programmes in 2017, Redline Group announced the opening of the Third phase of its Recruitment academy. Redline’s Talent Academy plays a key part in the company’s strategy to grow from its existing 60+ employees to 85+ by 2020.
The Talent Academy has been specifically designed to accelerate a Consultant’s recruitment career. The 8-week training programme has been carefully created to enhance the skills of a Recruitment Consultant, through a fun and inspiring way of learning the recruitment process. The programme combines a mix of learning opportunities from classroom situations, to online platforms as well as on the job training, allowing individuals to embrace difference learning techniques.
The Talent Academy is led by Greg McHugh, Redline’s Head of Training & Talent Acquisition. Greg is well-known for his exceptional understanding of the human capital issues confronting clients and for his knowledge of and access to tier one best-in-class talent. Greg has worked and lived in the UK, Europe, USA, Middle East and Asia and his far-reaching executive search experience covers Engineering, Electronics, Finance and Tax & Legal.
Greg has designed and implemented an innovative business-aligned Training and Development and Talent Attraction program to support Redline’s strategic growth and vision. Greg comments: “Our aim is to give Recruitment Consultants an extensive and grounded source of knowledge and a training program which empowers them not only to succeed in the technical recruitment industry but to thrive in it.”
“I am truly excited by our latest intake of 9 Consultants as they are all proactive on looking for career progression or career change. They are the next generation for Redline and they are keen to learn about how to really succeed in high-technology recruitment. We have created an atmosphere that will build their confidence and ability in every step of their recruitment journey with ongoing support and guidance every step of the way.”
Martin Crapper, Managing Director at Redline Group comments: “This is another huge step for Redline, building on the success of earlier academies but this time nine new people will certainly be a challenge. We’re confident our 35 years of experience, and the huge investment in creating the programme will provide each of them the best opportunity to shine. Redline is projecting growth again this year of 25%+ and there seems to be no slowdown in the pace and volume of requirements from existing and new customers. From research and client feedback, we know our knowledge-led, high-service approach to identifying, attracting, screening, selecting and securing the best technology talent for our clients really make a difference in the success and efficiency of their complete recruitment cycle.”
