Work with red retail
Your trusted partner in retail recruitment solutions.
We are the industry experts
People Powered Purpose. What does that mean for your business? At red recruitment, it means building meaningful partnerships that fuel growth, deliver service excellence, and create lasting impact.
We understand the pace and challenges of the retail sector, and we’re committed to connecting you with talent that not only fits the role but strengthens your culture. By aligning your business goals with the ambitions of exceptional people, we help you build stronger teams, and a more successful future.
Understanding the demands
At red, we understand that retail demands can change fast.
Retail is fast-paced, customer-driven, and constantly evolving. Seasonal peaks, staff shortages, and shifting demand make having the right people in place essential to keeping operations smooth and customers satisfied.
At red recruitment, we provide flexible, dependable staffing solutions tailored to the needs of retail businesses — from in-store teams and contact centre staff to leadership and support roles. Whatever the challenge, we deliver the people you need, when you need them, to keep your business moving forward.
Temporary workforce management
red’s Temporary Workforce Management team are responsible for ensuring that every temporary worker has gone through the full red process. For every campaign, we creates a bespoke journey for the clients and the candidates, which will be agreed by the client first. They will also ensure that all temporary workers are fully compliant before they begin their assignment, having attended red’s temporary induction and having completed all of your required onboarding documents. red can also complete DBS checks for every worker (there is an additional fee for this service) as part of our compliance process. Throughout the worker’s assignment, red’s Temporary Workforce Management team will complete 1:1’s with the workers. These calls will be completed both virtually and online and will take place regularly, as agreed by both parties.
Consultancy & training
red’s senior leadership team completes a number of consultancy and training sessions for contact centres. red has many training sessions that can be taught as micro and full sessions and are all run on-site. Some of these sessions are Money Matters, Unlocking Resilience, and Generational Leadership Training for Contact Centre Leaders. No two consultancy pieces are the same as red creates bespoke consultancy depending on the needs of the business, which is collated from a number of fact-finding sessions held by the Directorship team. Depending on the requirements of the client, red is happy to work on-site and spends many days working in the contact centre to ensure the final piece is accurate.
Security of permanent positions
If you’re seeking peace of mind, stability, and a steady income, a permanent position is worth considering. Permanent roles, whether full-time or part-time, often offer additional benefits and the security of protection under employment law.
Flexibility of temporary positions
A temporary role can be a fantastic opportunity for individuals seeking flexibility or looking to explore a new industry. Many large companies regularly hire temporary workers to manage seasonal demand, holiday coverage, or to fill in for full-time employees on leave.
We recently partnered with Red Recruitment to deliver a large contact centre cohort, and the results were exceptional. Thanks to the support and dedication of our account manager, an impressive 73% of all offers for this critical cohort came directly from Red Recruitment.
I would highly recommend that any internal Talent Acquisition team looking for reliable support and outstanding results, particularly in cohort hiring, utilise the services of Red Recruitment. They truly deliver.
We are very happy with the candidates presented to us and look forward to welcoming them into the company.
The quality of applicants has been excellent, which is a testament to red's hard work and persistence.
Thank you again and look forward to working with you in the future.
