3. TESTIMONIALS
1
The Inspired Group of companies have
been working with Arrows Group since
December 2003. We selected Arrows Group
as an exclusive provider because of their
level of understanding about our business,
the quality of suitable candidates they
found for us and the highly responsive and
professional approach that they have
always taken.
Arrows Group have placed well over 80
people, both permanent and contract based,
with our business and I suppose that number
alone shows the level of trust we have in
Arrows Group more than any sound bite can.

8. VALUES & PHILOSOPHY
UNITED | OPEN | BESPOKE
Our brand philosophy and values are at
the very core of everything we do. We
understand that our company has three
major stakeholders: our clients, our
candidates and our employees; and we
can only deliver on what we promise by
ensuring that each of these have trust in
the company, its services and its vision.
By applying our core values to everything
we do, we differentiate ourselves from our
competitors and lay the foundations on
which we can build long-term, successful
relationships today, and in the future.
UNITED
We understand that by working together
we can achieve more than on our own. By
working together and sharing knowledge
we gain a better understanding of the
challenges we face. By working together
we inspire and motivate all around us to
help us to undertake tasks successfully,
which in turn results in greater productivity,
recognition and success for all.
OPEN
We are completely open both internally
and externally. We understand that only
by hiding nothing and being completely
transparent can we then build trust,
confidence and commitment with all around us.
BESPOKE
We do not live in a formulaic society and
as our clients, candidates and consultants
needs and expectations change, so must
our offering to meet these. Only by asking
pertinent questions and listening thoroughly
can we deliver truly targeted responses,
which successfully address the challenges
and opportunities we face.

answer. So we’ve got it down to five points:

the strength of our networks, but also the
confidence that we instill in our clients
and candidates.

that brings together usually separate
recruitment processes. For you, this means
we offer a service that can be tailored to
your exact requirements.
Our international resources enable us to

whenever you need to; and we can achieve
the results you need, even with extremely
tight deadlines.

work in. We’re not a jack of all trades; we’re
master of our core areas.

working for our clients and when running our
