What we do is we collect a lot of information and data from job seekers, not just CVS, and a lot of this information is produced into what we call a profile. It can be seen on the left hand side of the homepage, opposite the jobs. And there's another Call to Action there to go to the inventory of over 21,000 registered job seekers. These people are obviously interested in international employment and a particular interest to our visiting employers. I'm just going to run through a few of the interesting profiles that we've produced. As I said, the profile supplements a CV, basically trying to give each worker a member a bit of space online to expand on their personality, their skill levels, who they are as people, which a CV can be quite. Bland, boring and historical based on the employment that's been carried out, not on the kind of people they are there and chest their hobbies and what they get up to.

Make your profile as interesting as possible. Bear in mind, these are heavily viewed by employers, so the idea is to impress the people out there that may want to give you a job. Right. Francesca, over to you. Okay, thank you. Next topic of conversation I have to discuss today is about partners and becoming a partner with Skills Provision. So with our work and the fact that we cover international market, we often have requests from companies and clients that perhaps are not necessarily within our wheelhouse in every single industry. Now, what we do have in place is a partnership scheme. So we have organizations and other recruiters that we work with to help us fulfill certain recruitment tasks. Now, these partners are all vetted by us and go through a process of onboarding to ensure that they understand what we at. Skills Provision are looking to offer not only our clients, but also job seekers throughout the process and getting them into various different positions worldwide. So what are we looking for in a partner? Some of the things that we think are really important and make a good partner in our experience are things like professionalism. So this is not only in the way that they conduct themselves, but in the way that they communicate with us, job seekers and, if necessary, the potential employers. We're looking for partners who are well connected and have a strong reach within their market. Now, it could be that your organization covers a certain geographical location or you specialize in a particular industry, say, CNC, for example. What we want is for our partners to be able to access those markets and be able to give us a wider reach with our job offers. We also look for people who are trustworthy. As Pete touched on with creating profiles when working on our systems and utilizing our systems to upload candidates and things such as this, we need to ensure that our partners are going to follow guidelines and procedures and policies set up by our team here and also any laws or requirements that are required in their home countries. Now, this next one is possibly one of the most important things, as we've currently got some partners that we work with, and our partnership network is ever increasing. Responsiveness is probably the next key aspect. If we have a recruitment task and we ask for your help, we hope that you would engage as soon as possible in completing that task. If you're not the first to work on it, then it may well go to another company, another partner, meaning that you miss out on that opportunity. We like to ensure that our clients get the best service possible, and we ask our partners to engage with the same level of interest in getting that task done. The more we can work on, the more that we can process, the more opportunities that become available. So what's in it for you? It gives your organization opportunity to work on international placements, to work with reputable companies globally that maybe you don't have access to. It offers your company the chance to offer your candidates those international opportunities that perhaps they've been seeking for but have never found that opportunity. One thing that we also find in international recruitment is unfortunately, there's a lot of fraudulent activity out there. All of our clients and companies and employers that we work with, we ensure that they are legitimate and looking for genuine recruitment support. Now, if you're interested and would like to become a partner, please reach out to us today and you can do that via email inquiries@skillshyfenprovision.com and in the subject bar. Please put partnership inquiry so we know that it is related to that. And our partnership team will then review your application and see if we have something that you could work on. It may be at the current time that we don't have a project that is suitable for your skill set and we don't want to be engaging you at this current time, but we would keep your records and keep your details for future opportunities. Okay, back over to you, Pete. Thank you, Francesca. Finally, today I'm going to COVID the subject of ethical recruitment, which is a complicated subject, more complicated than the title would have you think or what people imagine. Recruitment as a process is discriminatory obviously, because you select one person over other people. Now, as a international recruitment agency of standing, we work with clients who provide us with guidelines who they want to employ. Now, these guidelines are often quite precise. Their perfect worker is 35 to 40 year old male, physically capable, hardy used to work in outdoors and such like. Now, it could be said that we are quite a unique agency insofar as we don't do as we're told, which sounds counterproductive when you're working for and being paid by clients to assist with their HR recruitment. But it's the truth. We get the brief from the client, we brief our own teams and when we start, we look to produce lists or one big list, lists on lists. Sometimes we're producing, sometimes we may be required to provide 500 people for a company within three months. So it's a numbers game. But the people that we're looking to produce there's the ideal candidate or candidates. We rip this up and throw it in the dustbin. But take a note of who the client wants to employ. All the people passing the filtration stage are placed into what we call the client zone in there. This is where the main recruitment efforts is placed. The quality candidates are placed in their benchmarked. Videos, presentations, CVS profiles, documentation. Perfect employees are going to make their selection and then they will look especially in this. First we asked for males of the there's females in here blaming, you've got a gain here. We're after welders that you've got a gain here that's in a wheelchair. Yes. We are ethical recruiters. We are not rigidly following guidelines and doing the same as all recruitment companies do, afraid to make decisions, we place into the client's own many workers. So regardless of gender, physicality age, so we can have the very young, which sometimes the best candidate is not. What appears on paper could be the youngest person who will give 20 years loyalty to a company that the elderly maybe have. So knowledgeable that this can be passed down to other workers within an organization. And the disabled, those that no one really cares about. So we do give a fair crack of the whip to everyone, bearing in mind we only produce a lineup. And within this lineup, we'll be the perfect candidates that the client wanted and the not so perfect and the imperfect. And then the choice is theirs. We place in there suitable, so have to be suitable for the job. We grade accordingly, we produce all the information, we get all the videos done, and then we either assist in the placement activity or this is just down to the employer. The results achieved to date have been remarkable. Employers are now realizing that their own prejudice has actually not been right. They're now looking to employ more disabled people, younger people, older people, because it fits with their organization and the message they want to deliver on their brand. And this all stems from having the strength of character as an organization to truly go down the road of ethical recruitment, which is something that we will continue to do. And there we have it, the end of our first podcast. I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions, contact Francesca. What's your email address? Francesca. Francesca@skilltyprovision.com. There you go. And we look forward to introducing you in probably a month to six weeks time to our second episode of the Skills Provision podcast. So from me, Pete. And for me, Francesca, say goodbye. Thank you. Thank you and take care.
