R
esource Management Solutions
(RMS), a hugely-ambitious
recruitment agency, has added two
new key staff to its team in the past
month in a bid to explore new markets and as
part of major growth plans.
Established in 2000 by Carole Martin,
Darlington-based RMS are specialists in
recruitment solutions and work with a
number of engineering and manufacturing
firms on Aycliffe Business Park.
Already with a strong regional and national
reputation in manufacturing and engineering
sectors, RMS are strengthening in key new
areas.
Phil Wake, from Darlington, has been
brought in to head up a new construction and
civil engineering department.
RMS have also appointed experienced
recruitment professional Natalie Makari, from
Hartburn, Stockton, to head up the day-to-day
operations of the recruitment team, boosting
the RMS management team in the process.
Operations director Matthew Telling said:
“These are crucial appointments for RMS
as we look to build on our success and
explore new opportunities. We have built up
an excellent reputation in the North-East
region, which we’re looking to strengthen,
while also growing the business through
diversifying into new markets. Natalie’s
experienced in the energy sector, as well
as being a proven commercial recruiter, so
she’ll bring lots to the table for RMS.
“There have been lots of positive
developments at RMS in the last few
months alone, and I’m delighted to bring
these very talented people in to help drive
the next phase of development.”
New construction and civil engineering
specialist Phil, 25, said: “The big selling
point of joining RMS was the outstanding
reputation. They always put the candidates
and clients first. I’m thrilled to have been
offered the opportunity to set up a new
venture for RMS, and it’s a challenge that
I’m enjoying getting my teeth stuck into.”
New recruitment manager Natalie, 30,
who has over six years’ experience in the
recruitment sector, added: “What appealed
to me is RMS’s company values. Also, Matt
and Carole are a great management team.
The vision they have for the development of
RMS over the next 18 months is exciting,
and we’re shaping the business in order to
offer our clients more specialist services.
“We’re a local business with a very
strong reputation, which we look forward
to enhancing in the coming months and
years.”
RMS works with companies of varying
sizes, from niche local specialists to global
blue-chip sector leaders across a wide
range of industries, to provide recruitment,
payroll and HR services.
RMS, which has enjoyed year-on-year
growth since its formation, was named
as one of the fastest 50 growing North-
East businesses by Ward Hadaway two
years running in 2016 and 2017 and
was awarded Best Specialist HR and
Recruitment Company in the 2017 North-
East Enterprise Awards.
With its head office in Darlington
employing 18 people, RMS also has 11
on-site offices across the UK employing a
total of 35 people.
Since the firm’s inception in 2000,
RMS has also helped to raise thousands
of pounds for charity and voluntary
organisations.
