Appointments Personnel Managing Director, Emma Bonfiglio
A leading Staffordshire recruitment agency is celebrating a successful 20 years in business.
Appointments Personnel started life with just a three-strong team and at a time when the global economy was in recession. However, the company has continually met all challenges and their recent growth in staff has been complimented by a landmark move to modern, spacious offices at the Parklands Business Park, Trent Vale. Appointments Personnel has seen rapid growth in recent times, increasing its own team from six to 16 staff over the last three years.
Over two decades, Appointments Personnel has worked closely with hundreds of businesses, primarily within North Staffordshire and South Cheshire, and the firm has grown a reputation as a trusted advisor, connecting local companies with the right candidates for jobs time after time.
Founded by Kerry Bonfiglio, the family business is now run by Kerry’s sister, Emma Bonfiglio.
Managing Director Emma said: “Our continued success is a real team effort. We work hard to ensure Appointments has the right team in place and has motivated staff who are encouraged to grow within the business”
“Kerry built extremely strong foundations for the business and I have been able to build on them,” said Emma. “I was given a fantastic grounding in the business, experiencing every job role in the office before taking over as Managing Director around seven years ago
Emma’s mission is to continue growing a business that specialises in supplying exceptional candidates that go above and beyond in their passion to succeed in their chosen environment. She said: “We make our candidates and clients feel welcome and provide a comprehensive recruitment experience across every channel. We hand-pick our own staff from the industries that we recruit for and this adds to the insights that we need. It means that we offer our clients intelligence led information which supports staff retention as well as an excellent service.
“We have grown through our reputation and through referrals form happy clients and candidates. Customer service is central to everything that we do, we ensure that we research our clients’ and candidates’ needs extensively so that we recruit the right person for each job. As a boutique recruitment agency, Appointments can focus fully on tailoring services to meet client specifications; there is no one size fits all approach.
“Our clients stay with us because they value our expertise, relationships and our service standards. We are experienced in looking at candidates’ behaviour, abilities to foster working relationships, integrity and honesty.
“I believe our growth is based on our own values and attention to detail. We work hard to get under the skin of a business, looking at the culture and which candidates are going to work well with each business.”
