Getting good staff is now harder than ever and Chase Taylor have put into place an infrastructure and process to help find the very best ‘2015 will be a big year for the industry’ people for roles in the industry. They have built a database of over 2,000 people and have supported this with an investment in several licenses from the UK’s leading recruitment websites, giving them access to over 8 million CV’s.
