About you
You're in or around London. Maybe forever, perhaps just visiting. And you want to work.
At Target, we can help. Whether you're looking for a permanent job, or something shorter term. Whether you've got office skills, or are more at home in an industrial, retail, catering or horticultural environment. Whether you want city centre or leafy suburbs.
If you're looking for work, Target's services are free (employers pay us). We'll work with you to discover your talents, we'll help you construct a compelling CV, we'll coach you on interview protocols and we'll find you the work you want.
That sounds easy, but that's only because we've been helping bring together people and jobs for over xx years. And it's because the organisations we recruit for know and trust us. When you first meet a potential employer, you've got a head start. Because you're a Target approved candidate.
