Manchester-based agency Sharna Associates has set up trainee workshops to give potential new recruiters an insight into the industry.
The firm introduced the monthly workshops to help tackle the shortfall in experienced candidates for recruitment roles.

Attendees are given an overview of the industry and can learn about several aspects of the business including specialist, generalist, public sector and executive search.

Managing director Sharna McGowan told Recruiter: “ We’ve had very positive feedback from both the trainees and our clients.
“We need new blood coming into the industry because people leave for various reasons all the time. The workshops also give me and my consultants an insight into what the industry needs.”

Sharna also plans to run similar workshops in the Midlands once the summer holidays are over.
