Foundation Recruitment achieves IIP Gold status

Specialist recruiter for the real estate sector, Foundation Recruitment has been awarded an Investor in People Gold status - the highest possible status offered under the scheme. Its success in achieving this recognition of a commitment to enhancing business performance through progressive employment practices and doing so on its first application, places it alongside some of the best employers in the UK. The achievement is even more remarkable given the business is still under three years old.

Speaking of the accreditation, Julian Long, Foundation Recruitment’s Managing Director, said: “Achieving Investors in People Gold Status was never a ‘nice to have’ for Foundation Recruitment. It was always a necessity. Obtaining the ultimate people management standard entails a considerable investment, but we would never expect candidates to trust us with their careers or clients to trust us with their recruitment needs without first demonstrating our own commitment to the welfare, development and job satisfaction of our own team.

He adds: “We’ve always been advocates of how the right people with the right support can make a real difference to the success of any organisation. This understanding underpins everything we do.”

Commenting on behalf of Investors in People, assessor Mick Lynch said: “It was quickly apparent from the assessment process that Foundation Recruitment operates to the very high standards of employment excellence required for Investors in People Gold Status. This conclusion was reinforced by interviews with the team where there was clear evidence of a collaborative approach, a united vision and a shared focus on placing the needs of the client or candidate first,”
