We're busier than ever, but struggling to get the staff we need. Recruiting can be such a distraction. We gave Job Centre Plus a try, and they've really helped us out. Really? Yeah. It was dead easy. We got our own employer advisor, Julie, who helped advertise our jobs, shortlisted candidates for us and letters interview at the Job Centre. We've hired some great people, and Job Centre Plus really took the hassle out of it, And there was no fee.

e-sports player, no one's ever really done it before. There's no coach that has done this as a professional for 10 years, you know, before you were even born that knows how to, knows how to train, knows how to navigate and how to deal with contracts.
