Having just celebrated its five-year anniversary, an Alloa-based recruitment firm is driving forward with helping clients fill positions across the Central Belt.

Recruitment Solutions Alba Ltd is a specialist in sourcing and positioning both temporary and permanent staff for the transport, logistics and industrial sectors. Working hand in hand with clients and candidates alike, they support both to find the best person for each role. They look for the perfect candidate to suit the client's specification, aiding both the compaines looking to recruit, as well as prospective workers looking to embrace a new role.

With the logistics sector facing a huge demand for drivers, company founder Lisa Pollock and her 5-person team have been helping to plug gaps and keep firms moving from the Mill Street base. Primarily dealing in transport, they supply anything from artic vehicles through to vans drivers covering shifts round the clock. 

Alloa and Hillfoots Advertiser:

“Some of our clients use us on an ongoing basis to make up their workforce. Other clients use us for holiday and sickness cover as well as some clients usitilising us for busy periods,” explained Lisa.

"We also supply a multitude of other staff including warehouse, loaders, drivers mates, even including transport administrators through to cleaners and shop staff on occasion."

In order to meet clients’ and workers’ needs, Recruitment Alba has recently purchased a crew vehicle to offer candidates an opportunity of accepting work that normally couldn’t be considered. They have several pick up points & drop off points around central Scotland determined on client & candidate requirements at the time. The commitment to investing in recruits is evident; Recruitment Alba support their candidates with crucial aspects of the process such as transports so that candidates can broaden their horizons and apply for roles that at one point were not accessible. 

For Lisa, this approach is “an individual bespoke service” and making jobs more accessible for those looking for employment.

Alloa and Hillfoots Advertiser:

Because of the recent rise in demand for drivers, Lisa said their clients have been struggling to get enough staff which has led to them having to adapt. Lisa believes the way candidates – and clients – are treated has helped with the success of the business and is keen to ensure both are happy with the service provided.

Attractive rates and incentives are offered with the theory that a happy worker will be happy in their work and do a better job, making it a win-win for candidates and clients alike.

The company also offers a 24 hour, 365 days per year on call service, manned by a real person not an automated service or call centre, so you can rest assured knowing that Recruitment Alba takes a personal and hands-on approach with your recruitment journey, from the begining until the end.
