Why Contacting a Recruitment Agency During Redundancies is a Smart Move

Redundancies are a reality many businesses face, and while they’re never easy, it’s essential to consider the impact they have on colleagues at risk of losing their roles. If you’re in the process of planning redundancies, reaching out to a recruitment agency like Mpeople might not seem like an immediate priority—but it should be.
