Recruitment

With Covid-19 disrupting the events industry during 20/21, causing mass redundancies within the sector, the time has come for some green shoots of growth in our industry. Rather than just supporting our redundant colleagues whilst unemployed, New Model Army (NMA) can start matching our industry’s unemployed talent with organisers, venues, agencies and contractors, as we all start to think about the re-opening of events at some point this year.

Thanks to the support of Clarion Events, Tarsus Group, Imex Group, ExCeL London and Quartz Exhibitions, we have been able to build the infrastructure for the New Model Army resource website and recruitment tool.

NMA Recruitment matches employers who are looking to recruit on a permanent, contract or freelance basis, with unemployed event professionals at a highly reduced rate. Often the candidates are available immediately, so can fill the gap in the run up to an event or be taken on, on a project by project basis. They are also available for long term contracts and permanent roles too. NMA Recruitment should save you time searching LinkedIn for candidates who are available immediately or receiving hundreds of applications to a job advert or a LinkedIn post.

With industry leaders still feeling that our bounce-back, when it comes, will be both big and fast, our aim is to help employers to quickly gear up resources. This, of course, will also help those who are unemployed get back into work, sooner rather than later.

Employers will be able to hire candidates from the NMA website at a fee of just 10% of the starting basic salary. Moreover, 10% of all fees generated will be re-invested back into NMA to continue to support those who need it in our industry. If, as an employer, you would like to use this service, please contact us to discuss.

How it works for clients:

•  Clients who have a role to fill can call ESP on 0207-299-2960 and they will be given a unique log-in for the NMA database.
•  Clients can search for suitable candidates on the database and select for review the candidates they feel will suit their role
•  The candidates CV’s and contact details will be sent to the client for them to contact the candidate directly
•  A fee of 10% will be charged if/when a candidate is successfully employed.
