Our Mission
Tara Recruitment exists to connect talented candidates in Education and Healthcare with discerning employers to achieve better mutual outcomes. Too many people are still struggling to access the jobs that their experience and skills deserve because of their ethnicity or background. What’s more, too many employers are missing out on fantastic people because they don’t have access to a diverse pool of talent. Our mission is to close that gap. In breaking down these barriers, we aim to bring huge value to people and organisations.
We are founded on the core principle of putting people first and building a greater candidate experience. Our focus is on the 3 Cs of courage, communication and candour. This means we’ll promote your interests without fear or favour and will regularly keep in touch. In addition, we are transparent about how to best serve your interests, rather than simply telling you what you want to hear. At Tara Recruitment, we are dedicated to offering ongoing professional development prospects for our candidates. This guarantees a proficient and highly skilled workforce for our valued business partners.
Our Values
While many organisations say that people are their greatest asset, for many, their experience with recruitment and recruitment firms is a long way from that. Tara Recruitment is different. We put people at the heart of recruitment, from our support for candidates, through to the recruitment partnership with employers; and post-placement process for long-term success.
Tara Recruitment is built on our expertise in recruitment, employment support and career development. Drawing on our extensive contacts in the community, we aim to open up opportunities that would otherwise be missed. Our founding principle is to support under-represented communities. We want to advocate for them and unleash a reservoir of talent that is already making a significant difference to many employers.
Diversity could mean many things, for example, candidates might have different qualifications from different places. So we provide advice and signposting for candidates, along with verification and validation for our recruitment partners; turning differences into benefits.
