**Application Process:**
- To ensure attention to detail and that you have thoroughly read this job posting, please start your application with the keyword "blanket".
- Applications without this keyword will be automatically disregarded.

We are a UK-based recruitment company with a focus on growth and efficiency. Joining our team means being part of a stable and expanding business, where your contribution will be valued and pivotal to our success.
To give you an idea of the size and scale of our business, I have attached last years P & L - which the accountant needs to review file, so there might be some tweaks.

PS - I get so many autobidders on here that I have a plan to beat them - I use a keyword and ask you to put it as the first word of your bid. That way, I know if you have read the bid or not. So, to be considered for the bid I need to know you read this brief, so the keyword to quote please is "blanket". If the word blanket is NOT the first word of your bid, I will know you did not read this project and will delete your bid right away!

Looking forward to receiving your applications with the keyword "blanket" to confirm your detailed understanding of our requirements.

Thank you for your interest in joining us.
