From internal learning and development to community outreach - we strive to deliver on our promise of being a collaborative, proactive and responsible talent partner.

Our Trade Body

APSCo are an international trade body offering global services with local delivery to the international recruitment sector. 

They help differentiate the professional recruitment market by raising standards and delivering expert support and market intelligence to their members. 

We partner with APSCo because we value this push to raise the bar within the recruitment industry and we are able to pass on the market insights to our customers, helping them to improve their own hiring strategies and be proactive, rather than reactive to market changes.

Our Charity Partner

The dedicated teams at Acorns Children's Hospice provide specialist palliative care for life limited and life threatened babies, children and young people and also offer support for their families. Their support is provided by their three hospices based in Worcester, Birmingham and Walsall, as well as in the family home and community.

We have chosen Acorns as our charity partner this year to support the fantastic work that they do in the West Midlands and to continue to give back to the community that we call home. 

Throughout the year, we will be making a donation for every candidate we place with our customers, getting involved in sponsored challenges, office based fundraising and volunteering.

Training, Development and more...

The Recruitment Network is the fastest growing community for recruitment leaders who want to significantly improve their performance and profitability with purpose.

Throughout the year, we attend sessions organised by TRN targeted at all levels of experience - whether it's our new starters learning about the fundamentals or our management sharing insights on the effects of the current economic situation, we learn through collaboration. 

Our parternship ensures that we're keep up to date with the latest staffing and recruitment technology offerings and can share valuable insights with other TRN members as to how to best leverage these and integrate them into our service offerings. 

Their online platform, TRN World, is also home to a wealth of video training content which we use to deliver a blended learning experience for our new starters. 

We also utilise TRN to help us with employee engagement surveys and other services where an impartial party can offer that extra insight we need to improve. Check out what our MD Mike Scotney had to say.

Warwickshire County Cricket Club

Applause IT are proud to support Warwickshire County Cricket Club!

We are also members of the Bears Business Club - which provides some excellent benefits for us to share with our customers. 

Why not come down and join us for an evening of T20 cricket? Or perhaps rather than meet up at our offices, you'd prefer to catch up with an afternoon of county cricket as the backdrop? Get in touch and one of our team can tell you more.

The club's work extends far beyond what they do out in the middle. The Edgbaston Foundation is the official charity of Edgbaston and Warwickshire County Cricket Club. Their ambition is to proactively engage generations across our diverse communities whilst ensuring that Edgbaston is accessible for all.

Customer Feedback and Insights

We integrate Recruiter Insider into every candidate and client engagement. Their platform helps to provide specific feedback, differentiated by work-type and aligned to each individual consultant for every stage of the hiring process. 

It enables us to deliver data driven reports for learning and development and their tools help us strengthen our relationships with our clients by providing valuable insights into their own employer experience.

It also allows us to benchmark ourselves against our industry competitors and hold ourselves accountable to delivering the promises we make.
