HR Manager For Hire!
Discussion
Evening all
The inevitable has happened - the Company I work for has missed out on a couple of contracts and can no longer afford the luxury of an HR Manager. It's a shame really as they are a great Company with a good business model but the market is a bit slow and the GM has enough HR knowledge to get by for a year or so.
So, in a shameless plug, I am on the market and looking for my next role. I'm based in Derby, right next to M1 and East Midlands Parkway station so can pretty much get anywhere for the right role.
I will happily send my CV to anyone interested but by way of a short summary:
