The London Olympics are an opportunity to immerse in the spirit of the most high profile sporting event in the world but for those involved in ensuring the games run smoothly it is a time of immense pressure.
For Activas, who beat some of the biggest recruitment players in the world to win Olympics contracts, the Games represent a turning point in the history of the company.
Activas started eight years ago with a vision of doing things a bit differently and a lot better for the benefit of all.
Management invested heavily in a state of the art, bespoke, management system including a unique CV database and today work with many TOCs and have secured preferred supplier status with many of them.
Their clients include London Underground and London Overground, TicketMaster, First Capital Connect, First Great Western, National Express, Mitie, Northern Rail and many others.
It is their commitment, dependability and flexibility which are cited by clients as the reason they work with Activas, a fact not lost on director Benjamin Rubin; “We have shown that we are small enough to care and big enough to cope.”
Whilst still actively recruiting for the Olympics, Activas are seeing a surge in all aspects of their recruitment business.
“We’ve demonstrated our capacity to recruit very high calibre staff, even when operating within extremely tight deadlines,” Mr Rubin says.
“Its win/win for everyone involved and we are looking forward to the next stage.”
