McMullen & Sons Ltd.
Since we have been working with Step2Skills we have recruited quite a few team members to our pubs. They have mostly been successful and stayed with us long term.
In March we held a coffee morning for mentors and their clients to join us at our Head Office in Hertford for us to give a presentation about McMullens, what to expect from us as an employer and the benefits of working for us, including our great training opporunities open to everyone.
We spent some time in our training kitchen observing a Kitchen Confidence course that was taking place for newly appointed kitchen staff. This was to demonstrate what we can offer on a practical training level away from the pub.
Following on from that we attended a Jobs Fair at North Herts College which also gave us an opportunity to showcase ourselves as a great employer and give advice and information to prospective candidates. It was also a good networking event for us to meet up with other organisations that are supporting people to get into work.
The mentors we work with are attentive and understanding, they work with the GM’s in the pubs to facilitate and support interviews and trial sessions to ensure the candidate feels comfortable and knows the expectations of the role. The mentors have an insightful knowledge of our business and can talk to candidates about our culture, benefits, and training opportunities.
We are proud to support the work of Step2skills in the workplace.
