Lander Associates, the specialist performance management and training consultancy, has launched Lander HR to deliver services to the recruitment sector.

Paul Marsh, the former HR and corporate services director of Advantage Professional, has joined Lander Associates to head up delivering the services that will include a mix of HR consultancy, workshops and general advice.

Marsh has more than 20 years experience with recruitment brands such as Crone Corkill FSS and Strategi HR, as well as blue chips companies including BskyB, Tesco and Dixons.
 
Fiona Lander, managing director of Lander Associates, says: “There are still many recruiters which do not have any form of standalone HR function – often it ends up falling within the remit of one of the directors – or on the to do list of an administrator or office manager. For larger organisations that do have an HR function, there is currently no recruitment industry specific training for HR professionals who want to develop. If recruitment organisations want to grow then they also have to attract and retain talent - consequently there is a need for in depth expertise and support around a whole range of HR issues.”
