Our Parking Services have been using the services of Unity Recruitment Ltd for a number of years to provide highly trained and qualified staff within all areas of our service, including senior management, supervisory, enforcement and technical administration roles.
A major issue for both private and public sector parking operators is to recruit well trained and qualified staff with integrity and good work ethics. We have developed a long term partnership arrangement with Unity Recruitment which has been both beneficial to the delivery of our parking service operation and parking income generation.
As an employer we have experienced significant issues in both recruiting, training and retaining employees specifically within the parking management and enforcement area, both on and off-street. The time and costs involved in both advertising, recruiting and training staff is a significant drain on operational budgets as is the time spent processing and interviewing potential staff who failed to meet our basic requirements. In many cases we found a high proportion of newly trained staff quickly left the service recognising that parking was not their future occupation.
Since working with Unity Recruitment all these previous issues have disappeared. Unity are able provide well trained, reliable and experienced staff in all areas of our parking operation. There have been additional advantages to the Authority in using Unity including;
•Reduction in on costs in employing agency staff, including advertising, training and costs associated with Council employees i.e. pensions etc.
•Without taking the risks associated with employing permanent staff we have been able to assess those agency staff provided by Unity and have taken a substantial number, over 95%, on as permanent members of staff.

As an organisation we have found Unity Recruitment to be highly professional and supportive of our service. In all areas of our operation they have provided highly trained and motivated staff who continue to provide high quality services. I would have no hesitation in recommending Unity Recruitment to colleagues both within the public and private sector.

I have been involved in recruiting staff for this company for nearly 10 years, in positions across different Contracts, and have always used Unity as my priority recruitment Agency.
Unity have always provided me with experienced, knowledgeable Civil Enforcement Officers, and Car Pound staff, that I have been able to utilise after very little local training, ensuring that I am able to provide the service that my Clients require, at short notice, maintaining the delivery that they have come to expect of me.
I have dealt with various consultants during my association with Unity, and have found them all to be highly professional, supportive, and to me, most importantly, down to earth friendly individuals that I am very comfortable to pick up the phone and discuss matters with. This has enabled me to form some very strong working relationships with various individuals such as Jake within the Company.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Unity Recruitment to any of my widespread contacts within the parking industry, and after 20 years in the business, I would like to think that my commendations are respectfully received.

Our authority has been using Unity Recruitment Ltd for over six years to provide management, enforcement and administration roles, amongst others, for all areas of the service.
We believe strongly in the importance of recruiting well-trained and qualified staff with integrity and good work ethics to deliver our parking service operation, and our relationship with Unity Recruitment has been invaluable in doing this. They have provide reliable and experienced staff at all times, which has been of particular help in periods when recruitment and retention have been difficult in the industry in general.
Partnership with Unity has also meant that the time and costs involved in advertising, recruiting and training staff have reduced significantly, allowing us to perform more efficiently and effectively and use the savings to improve our service further.
We have always found Unity Recruitment to be highly professional and supportive of our service in all areas of our operation and I would have no hesitation in recommending Unity Recruitment to colleagues both within the public and private sector.

Unity always have a choice of people with the right skills waiting to start work when you require them for as long as you need them.

Whether, it is a mobile CEO with a full motorcycle license or an Appeals/Representation Officer trained on a specific Parking Software or CCTV operative trained in a smart car, I am always delighted with the readiness and quality of people that are available from Unity.
