Established in 2001, CTC recruitment was at the time a new concept in recruitment for the arboricultural industry and consequently was an instant success. Based in Shrewsbury the company has a large internet presence and is active in visiting colleges and attending industry events. After 20 years of trading the company now has more than 5000 arborists and 600 employers registered and using its specialist recruitment software CTC can accurately match clients and candidates. As a small niche industry Arboriculture is not suited to traditional recruitment practices. Advertising alone often fails to find a suitable candidate due to the small number of arborists who may be actively looking and the large number of job advertisements placed by employers – especially on the industry job boards. Similarly we find some employers do not advertise their vacancies but come directly to CTC because they cannot employ directly (Local Authority temporary roles for example) or because they have no confidence in advertising. • CANDIDATES - WHY CTC? Our recruitment service is completely free to candidates and with over one hundred arboricultural positions available, CTC recruitment gives you the widest choice of employment opportunities. By registering with CTC recruitment you can be assured of hearing about suitable vacancies which meet your specific requirements as soon as they become available. • CLIENTS - WHY CTC? Our pro-active approach can provide our clients with a greater than 80% success rate – much higher than you can expect through advertising alone.
