055 Recruitment Services

The hiring world is changing faster than anyone expected. Every leader we speak to is asking the same question right now. Where is this heading? After reading Robert Walters’ TA Evolution 2026 guide, the answer is clear. The talent industry is being rewritten, and the opportunity has never been bigger. Here are the truths many of us feel but rarely say out loud: ✔ AI will lift great recruiters, not replace them ✔ Skills first hiring needs mindset shifts ✔ Speaking in business language earns real influence ✔ Blended workforces will become the norm ✔ Hiring is shifting from filling roles to driving growth The conclusion leaves us with one line that says it all: “The pace of change is unrelenting, but so is the potential for transformation.” 👇 Link to get the full report in the first comment. #TAEvolution #TalentAcquisition #FutureOfWork

What if your weakness is actually your superpower? Five minutes into Alex Partridge’s keynote at The Business Show London, we stopped taking notes and just listened. Alex, founder of UNILAD and LADBible, built two of the world’s biggest media brands while navigating life as a neurodivergent entrepreneur. He spoke with raw honesty about being labelled 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵. About not fitting the mould. About turning what others call flaws into fuel. That message stayed with us. In recruitment, we see it every day. Incredible people told they’re too much, too quiet, or not the 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘵. But there is no typical. The people who think differently often create what no one else can. Our biggest takeaway: ✔️ Embrace what makes you you ✔️ Hire for potential, not perfection ✔️ Build teams that celebrate difference Whatever sets you apart could be your greatest strength, and exactly what the world needs. #TheBusinessShow #TBSUK #Recruitment 

The strongest brands are built by people who believe in what they represent. Today we joined Reed’s webinar with Linda Moir, the leader who helped shape the iconic service culture at Virgin Atlantic and brought human excellence to life at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. What struck us most? Excellence does not happen by instructing teams to perform. It happens by inspiring them to believe. To feel seen, trusted, empowered and proud of who they represent. Culture is not built in meetings. It is built in moments. Advocacy is not requested. It is earned. Leadership is not about being followed. It is about lifting others. Linda’s work with Sir Richard Branson says it all. World-class brands start with world-class belief in people. #Leadership #CompanyCulture #EmployeeEngagement

Sometimes, you get to see the future rising in front of you. Last week, our founder Pierfilippo Massetani had the privilege of running a session with the brilliant students at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School - a place where curiosity is fuelled, confidence is built and talent is unmistakably rising. Investing in young people is not just the right thing to do. It is one of the most powerful decisions any organisation can make. Because the future of work is not arriving someday. It is already here - learning, growing and preparing to reshape industries we have not yet imagined. To the teachers and staff at EGA: thank you for unlocking belief, possibility and courage every single day. We are humbled to stand beside you, and proud to play even a small part in the journey you ignite. 💫 #FutureOfWork #CareersEducation #FutureLeaders 

The UK’s hiring crisis hasn’t ended. It’s just changed shape. 76% of businesses are still struggling to fill roles. That’s slightly better than last year’s 80%... but let’s be honest, it doesn’t feel easier, does it? Across tech, engineering, logistics and manufacturing, the story’s the same. There simply aren’t enough skilled people to go around. 📊 The latest Manpower Labour Market Trends Report reveals: • 77% of industrial and materials firms can’t find the talent they need • 200,000 more HGV drivers will be needed within five years • 97% of manufacturers say hiring challenges are slowing growth • 54% of logistics companies expect shortages to increase The shortage isn’t just hurting output. It’s reshaping how recruiters work. Pay alone can’t solve it anymore. In 2025, success comes from something deeper: building workplaces where people feel seen, supported and able to grow. And that’s where great recruiters make the difference. Because behind every skills gap, there’s a human story waiting to be rewritten. 📖 Get a copy of the full report (link in the comments). #Recruitment #HiringTrends #FutureOfWork

Life isn’t happening to you. It’s happening for you. These were Demi Moore’s mic-drop lines at LinkedIn #TalentConnect last week. But as the world changes faster than ever, with AI reshaping how we work and live, how can we be certain it’s all happening for us? Jay Shetty put it best: Mindset matters. Erin Scruggs reminded us that: You can never have enough confidence to know when to be courageous. Susan David, Ph.D. moved us all with her heartfelt wisdom: It’s courage to say 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳. Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life. Those words lingered. Because beyond the technology and the trends, the summit was about people. Courageous minds choosing to adapt to the big shift we are all in. The conversations. The connections. The human stories. No AI can ever replace that. Thank you, #LinkedInTalentConnect, for reminding us of what truly matters. It’s People First. #CareerGrowth #Recruitment #Leadership

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱... 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱? That moment when you’re just doing your job. Sending that message. Making that call. Supporting that candidate. And only later, you realise you were part of someone’s turning point. That’s what Daniel Shapero, COO at LinkedIn, called the hero’s journey. When you’re doing something meaningful, even before you see the impact. And when you realise you’re not doing it alone. Because every recruiter knows that feeling. The long days. The rejections. The silent inboxes. And yet, we show up. To help someone take a step they might never have taken alone. Dan also reminded us of the biggest question in this new era: “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹?” Maybe the answer is simple. Real is showing up for people. Real is helping others grow. Real is doing the work that changes lives, one placement at a time. Then Nicole Lovell, VP of Global Talent Acquisition at Jacobs, brought it home. She spoke about the power of an AI mindset. To fail fast. Learn fast. Stay open-minded. Because in a world moving faster than ever, staying agile isn’t optional. It’s how we keep making progress. And maybe that’s what real heroes do. They don’t wait for perfect. They try, fail, learn and rise again. To every recruiter out there: you’re part of someone’s hero’s journey. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. Keep going. Keep learning. Keep being real. Big thanks to hosts Jessica Adebayo and John McCall for the fantastic energy. And to the rest of today’s insightful speakers - Bill Burnett, Erin Scruggs and the incredible team behind #LinkedInTalentConnect, thank you for the inspiration. We’re looking forward to tomorrow’s session too. Let’s keep rewriting what it means to work in recruitment. Together. #Recruitment #TalentConnect #CareerGrowth

Recruitment isn't being disrupted. It's being redefined. AI isn’t here to take your job. It’s here to upgrade it. The next decade won’t belong to the companies with the biggest budgets. It will belong to those with the best people, empowered by the smartest tools. At 055, we connect forward-thinking businesses with recruiters and sales professionals who don’t just fill roles. They shape what comes next. 👉 Follow us to see how technology and talent together are transforming the #FutureOfWork. #TechJobs #ITRecruitment #HiringTrends

AI is already here, transforming the workplace for every generation. We just attended a timely and insightful webinar on AI’s impact on entry-level talent, and the insights were eye-opening. We couldn’t agree more with Shelly Larsen-McHugh (MSc) of ManpowerGroup on the importance of mindset in organisations. AI isn’t here to replace people; it’s enabling us to focus on more meaningful, human work. A big thank you to HR Grapevine and Liam Soutar for facilitating, and to all the speakers for sharing their expertise and practical guidance: Anna Spaul Castiglione (ManpowerGroup) and Liz Booth (Young Enterprise).
