As part of our diversity and inclusion strategy, 300 North have partnered with accessibility forward company Recite Me in order to allow equitable access to our website.

2022 is shaping up to be another interesting year in recruitment for the FM sector. After the uncertainty of the last two years, many are hoping that 2022 will hold more stability for the market and that markets will move back into the growth phase after a period of re-stabilisation. At 300 North we have seen a general upturn in applications and expressions of interest in roles, as well as market data showing an increase in registrations to job boards in the last few months. This increase from people wishing to change roles will need to continue for some time before the candidate deficit is resolved and there are as many people looking for jobs as there are vacant positions, but it shows a move towards more normal levels.

We work hard to embody our values: Honesty, Integrity, Knowledge, Enthusiasm and Fun.

We know that by instilling these values in our workplace we strengthen our team community, and by upholding them in our workforce we do the very best for our candidates and clients.  

It is clear for all to see that the recruitment market has been turned upside down over the past 2 years and candidate experience has changed significantly. The pandemic has caused people’s priorities to change sometimes drastically with individuals wanting to move roles but unsure of the current market. The recruitment market within FM has also gone through several changes. From locking down almost completely and only taking on critical staff in early 2020, to a more “buyer” led market where clients had their pick of candidates quickly looking for work, to now, where for the last several months job vacancies have been soaring and finding the right candidates has become much more challenging.

We work to create an inclusive and wellbeing focused workplace that serves all of our staff members.

We collaborate to decide on the charitable activities of the year and always support their individual charitable endeavours.

We believe in the learning and development of our team, and work with them to achieve any training goals.

Being an independent company based in Leeds and Gateshead allows us to work closely with small businesses and charities local to us.

We often take part in community events and volunteering opportunities and support team members individually in doing so.

We work closely with FM companies across the UK to support the public awareness and growth of the FM sector.

Each year we take on new challenges to raise money for a local charity close to the team's heart.

These events and team challenges bring us closer together, help with team building and are also great fun! We work hard together to fundraise for worthy projects and causes.

We donate to food banks regularly to aid local charities for homeless and vulnerable people.

Our chosen charity of 2022 is the Leeds Hospitals Charity who support NHS staff to deliver the best care for over a million patients and their families each year. They work with local communities, schools and businesses to provide £5 million in additional funding for Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust.

Our impact on the environment is of great importance to us and here at 300 North we take our responsibility towards sustainability very seriously. We work together with our candidates and clients to reduce their impact and to reduce ours where we can.

You might also catch us at various events in the FM social and conference calendar, particularly in the North region.

We also regularly host team social events to be able to get together more casually outside of work.
