Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment Edinburgh Opens

 

Aaron Wallis is opening a new branch in Edinburgh to serve Scotland and the North East of England.  Opening on Tuesday 6^th April, the brand will be staffed by our excellent Senior Consultant, Hannah Gateley, who is returning to her hometown.

The branch is based in the Clockwork Office in Leith.

Our Senior Recruitment Consultant, Hannah, says:

Joining Aaron Wallis just over two years ago was easily the best career decision I have ever made! I’ve learned so much about a wide variety of industries, built fantastic relationships with both clients and candidates and am part of the funniest, strangest and most supportive team. I’m now so excited to be opening our first Scottish branch in my hometown of Edinburgh so that we can dedicate more of our expertise to our clients in Scotland.

Since joining Aaron Wallis in January 2019, I’m proud to say I’ve placed over 90 candidates in sales roles that vary from entry-level telesales all the way up to sales director level. I’ve successfully partnered with companies in industries ranging from software firms, engineering, hospitality, FMCG and tech (to name a few!). Bringing our unique sales recruitment service to Scotland certainly feels like a logical next step, and in two short weeks, I’ll be opening the doors to our newest office.

Based at the bottom of Leith Walk and right next to the shore, Aaron Wallis Sales and Marketing Recruitment Edinburgh is situated in the stylish, laid back and modern Clockwise offices. This trendy spot is surrounded by fantastic coffee shops, great bars, and brilliant spots to grab some lunch. With Mimi’s Bakery just around the corner, I expect I will become quickly become a regular...thankfully, there is a gym nearby too!

While the coffee and cake are definitely a selling point, the best part of our Leith office is really the ability it gives me to meet with my clients. I take pride in understanding my client’s business, team, and long-term goals to find them their perfect candidate. We have access to large meeting rooms where I’ll be able host these initial meetings, and our location means we are central and easy to find. For clients based elsewhere in Scotland, I am always happy to arrange a meeting at their premises or via Teams or Zoom (we’re all getting quite good at virtual meetings these days!).

From this great location, I’ll also be able to support clients who need a little extra help with interviewing. Our meeting rooms can be booked for a whole day’s worth of interviews, and I’m always happy to sit in, offer advice and take the reigns wherever needed! I’ll also treat the first client to book on-premise interviews to a delicious lunch from one of the great spots nearby.

My goal is really to make Aaron Wallis the number one Scottish sales recruitment agency! I can’t wait to get started and bring our unique and outstanding service back home.

Will Developed Nations Have an “Attitude Reset” Following Covid-19?

Criticism is easy…..

As a citizen of one of the richest countries on Earth, I consider myself extremely fortunate.

However, I am far from the first to consider that over the last decade or two, we have increasingly implemented our own, voluntary “social distancing”, through the myriad forms of social media we adopt.

There are many positive societal effects that these platforms deliver.  Crowd Funding and the recent minutes applause for the efforts of the NHS are unprecedented, positive outcomes that would have been impossible to choreograph in previous generations.

Currently, social platforms are playing a vital role in ensuring that everyone can maintain critical links with friends, colleagues and loved ones.  Speaking as someone who has seen no-one in person, including my kids, for ten days, I can attest to the value of that!

At the same time, it is hard to deny that they also create less desirable by-products….. The obvious, such as cyberbullying and trolling, online hate crimes and the proliferation of extremist ideologies of all types.  As well as less obvious, but equally pervasive issues, such as inculcating the necessity for instant gratification, or the requirement for constant attention, approval and feedback regarding the minutiae of daily life.  There is also the apparent increase in social anxiety and in some the sense of relative deprivation, due to the onslaught of information regarding everyone else’s apparently perfect existences…..

Online consumerism has irrevocably affected traditional retail and the human interaction it generates, as well as the economic and personal hardships that have accompanied the decline of that sector.

My social skills have certainly suffered as my default mode of interaction has become virtual….. undoubtedly I spend more time alone in willing and voluntary isolation than was never my intention, but it is the outcome nonetheless.

It has been alarming (and also liberating) to witness how quickly all the things we consider immutable and vital to our existence have dropped away in the space of a few short weeks…. Yet the Sun is still shining, the bees are buzzing and as artificial constructs are hibernating, the natural world is springing back to life.

In light of this and the devastation the current situation is wreaking upon so many, let’s hope that when this passes the entitled will feel a little less so and we can all reset our compasses in line with what really matters….. as opposed to what truly doesn’t.
