Core reasons for joining Raise:

The team at Raise
A very competitive rate based on the service
An exciting business partnership and vision

Before joining Raise in 2019, Guy was frustrated with the challenges that they had with their previous funding supplier, including: poor authentication processes, paper based timesheets, poor credit control and at times a terrible service.

Moving to Raise gave his business the platform they needed for growth.

Raise has been there to support our exponential growth and we've always been well supported. I’ve never found myself without a strategic partner that can support our requirements.

This growth has meant that Guy now plays an operational and strategic role in supporting their next phase of growth.

It's an interesting time for recruitment and Guy and his team are focused on continuing to deliver the best value-add recruitment solution in the market, despite lots of uncertainty ahead.

“Recruitment is and will always will be the hardest way to make an easy living. I see challenges as technology continues to disrupt the industry. We're heading into a very challenging time with a potential recession on the horizon. With that comes both challenges and opportunities to outpace our competition and provide real value to the recruitment space."

We have no doubt that Guy, his team, and the business will continue to deliver in abundance for their clients and we're proud to partner with them on that journey.
