Don’t ban private companies from taking on public services because of the mistakes G4S has made, says recruitment specialist Activas.
The company said that G4S’s failure to train enough staff to provide security for the Olympic Games had been used as a “catalyst to call for the banning of private companies from public services”.
Activas was awarded the Olympics contract to select, recruit and train hundreds of staff ready for the Games.
Director Benjamin Rubin said: “We offer 100 per cent transparency to clients.
“It can be a risky strategy for some companies, but we believe that if clients want to can keep an eye on our delivery they should be able to do so easily. This means they can relax in the knowledge that there will be no nasty surprises.”
Prior to the Games, Activas management invested in a state-of-the-art, bespoke, management system including a unique CV database.
“At Activas we have a win-win-win mantra,” added Rubin.
“We ensure our clients win by providing them with superior, proactive and excellence-oriented staff. This in turn guarantees our employees win by being placed within top organisations. Of course when clients are happy and employees Activas can thrive.”
