A recent highlight was when Pamela found the perfect job for a great candidate who was difficult to place. “The lady was in her late 50s. She was multi-lingual and had a great amount of skills. She’d covered a variety of jobs but didn’t particularly fit any job specification. Other agencies wouldn’t even interview her. I knew she was of great value and certainly would be of benefit to a busy company. I could see her potential and asked certain local employers to trust my judgement and offer her 10 minutes of their time. I felt confident that they would like her, and even risked them not using me again if I had got it wrong! She was snapped up and actually sobbed with joy. The employer thinks she’s amazing – they told me they never would have picked her CV had it not been for my phone call.”

Pamela is against any form of discrimination, but thinks: “there will always be people who judge a book by its cover and candidates still feel discriminated against because of their age.” At Forties People, we value what’s on the CV and whether candidates can do the job. “We still get a few phone calls saying our company name discriminates against young people, but we’ve never discriminated against people of any age,” Pamela concludes.
