SHARP CONSULTANCY SLEEP OUT FOR ROUNDABOUT!

The Power of Togetherness in Recruitment

At Sharp Consultancy, recruitment is about much more than filling job roles. It is about bringing people together, building lasting relationships, and creating opportunities where businesses and individuals can thrive. That's why one of our core values, Togetherness, is at the heart of everything we do. Successful recruitment isn't simply about matching a CV to a job description. It's about understanding people, their ambitions, and the culture of the organisations they will become a part of. That's why we meet with both clients and candidates alike, taking the time to get to know them, understand what they're looking for, and ensure we achieve the perfect match. We work closely with everyone involved to understand what success looks like from both perspectives. By working together, we create stronger matches that benefit businesses, employees, and teams for the long term.Togetherness means investing in relationships For our clients, this means becoming a trusted recruitment partner who understands their business, challenges, and future goals. We don't just recruit for today's vacancy, we help build a team that aligns with your values and ambitions. For our candidates, it means providing honest advice, guidance, and support throughout their career journey. Whether someone is looking for their first opportunity, career progression, or a complete change of direction, we're there every step of the way. The best recruitment decisions happen through collaboration We believe open communication, transparency, and shared goals lead to better hiring decisions. By encouraging honest conversations between employers, candidates, and our recruitment consultants, we create an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. When people work together, better decisions follow. Togetherness doesn't stop once a placement has been made At Sharp Consultancy, we continue to support our clients as their businesses evolve. From workforce planning to recruitment strategy and talent advice, we're committed to building long-term partnerships that grow alongside our clients. Creating Opportunities for People Every placement represents more than a job. It's a new chapter in someone's career, a fresh opportunity for a business, and the beginning of new working relationships. We never lose sight of the impact recruitment has on people's lives. By treating every candidate with respect and every client as a valued partner, we create experiences built on trust, professionalism, and mutual success. Togetherness is more than one of our values, it’s how we work every day It's reflected in every conversation, every recommendation, and every successful placement we make. We believe recruitment works best when it's built on collaboration, trust, and genuine relationships. At Sharp Consultancy, we're proud to bring people together, helping businesses find exceptional talent while supporting individuals to achieve their goals.

After weeks of build-up, Friday finally saw Sharp Consultancy take on the cold for Roundabout’s Sleep Out 2019. Despite concerns surrounding the weather following the heavy floods, the event went ahead in the heart of Kelham Island, and saw 8 of the Sheffield office join 80 hardy souls who braved the near freezing temperatures.

The night kicked off with a motivating presentation that included inspirational accounts by Keisha and Aaron – 2 young people whose lives have been dramatically improved by the services and support offered by the Sheffield based charity.

A lively workshop by Sheffield percussion group Unbeatable Energy (www.unbeatable-energy.co.uk) got the blood pumping, and the kind folks at 92 Burton Road kept people fed and watered with a selection of drinks and jacket potatoes. The Sharp team kept in good spirits, but at midnight the real challenge began as people attempted to settle down in their sleeping bags on the cold hard warehouse floor, with half of the Sharp team attempting the ultimate challenge of sleeping in the open courtyard.

Following a long, tough night, the team headed back to their homes with a renewed sense of perspective and a sense of pride at raising over £2,000 – smashing the original £700 target.

Ben Graney, Business Director had this to say.“I am really proud of our team for the way they took on the challenge. I’d like to thank all of our clients, family and friends who donated and supported us. Roundabout are a charity that everyone should know and care about. No young person should ever have to contemplate not having a warm bed to sleep in – yet Roundabout are needed to provide services to over 250 young people every day in Sheffield alone – and are just one of many local homeless charities.

It is staggering to me that the amount of homeless people in the UK continues to rise. For over 325,000 people to be homeless in a country as wealthy as ours is incredibly sad, and unfortunately this is an issue that continues to not receive the publicity or support that it so desperately needs.

I slept outside and made it through the evening by thinking of home, but knowing so many people don’t have that light at the end of the tunnel was a stark realisation that more needs to be done – and the earlier the cycle of homelessness can be broken the better. We look forward to working with Roundabout again in the future.”
