Barribal Associates has continued to operate and successfully recruit during the challenges presented to us all in 2020. Flexibility is the core of our ethos and we have adapted our systems to accommodate this brave new world of recruitment accordingly. The silver lining of the Covid-19 crisis has been a significant development in the understanding and acceptance of a working from home culture. Companies that empower their employees to deliver effectively, be it remotely or from the office, are setting the bar in flexible working and Barribal Associates are fully supportive of this change.

Adaptability

As an independently owned and managed company, Barribal Associates has been able to adapt quickly to the sudden changes to business practices in the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic.  We are not hampered by huge corporate processes and can be flexible to our client's changing needs.

Working from home

Working from home is not a new concept, but we have found that many of our clients have found the 'stay home, work from home' message an eye-opener to how business can be conducted.  Working from home does not restrict the ability to recruit, we have already made many successful placements this year and fully anticipate this being a new way of recruiting for many companies as we move beyond Covid-19.

Communication

2020 is the year the whole world woke up to video meetings.  Previously mainly used by businesses with large networks across multi-sites, now Teams, Zoom and Skype are regularly used in place of face-to-face meetings.  We are here to guide you through the challenges of both selecting the right candidate and interviewing remotely.
