Extraordinary - Mackleys
In a male-dominated industry like transport and logistics, where men can be reluctant to seek medical attention, this benefit is a game-changer. The pressure of their roles can take a toll on their mental and physical health, and having funds readily available can help them get checked out when problems arise. For some, this means being able to see a GP or get a new pair of glasses. All of this leads to less staff absence and a fit and healthy team ready to tackle the big jobs for our customers.

Transforming ourselves to enable you to succeed
We have been working with our clients to transform how they attract the talent they need to thrive, taking a refreshed approach to talent attraction. Our intention is to lead the market, and to help our clients shift away from a largely reactive strategies (in other words relying heavily on job boards or transactional media to supply talent) and making the shift to a proactive, creative, and strategic approach.

Talent doesn’t always find jobs – jobs find talent! And HainesAttract will make that happen for you.
The way candidates discover jobs has evolved rapidly in recent times. Job boards remain an important part of finding a new job when it comes to the active candidate market, but the reality is that the active candidate market has shrunk dramatically as a direct result of an all-time low unemployment rate in 2022.
