FTW Recruitment, based in Liverpool, is a newly formed part of the respected training provider FTW Training. With over a decade of experience, FTW Training specialises in equipping unemployed individuals with the skills, expertise, and certifications needed to excel in the warehousing industry. Revolutionising the hiring process, FTW’s eye-catching offer to employers is a no-fee recruitment service, which is already turning heads in the sector.
Jamie Rice, Company Director at FTW Training, explained:
“Our purpose is to transform the lives of unemployed people by upskilling them through hands-on training and helping them gain qualifications like RTITB and AITT accreditation for operating forklift trucks. We recognised that we had a very large pool of enthusiastic, highly skilled, and job-ready people who could really contribute to a company’s workforce, but we needed to do more to make them accessible. The recruitment division of the company was set up as a non-profit entity to help local employers access a bank of potential employees. This really supports our mission of reducing unemployment and is a real win-win for employers and trainees.”
The recruitment service also has wider benefits for employers, as partnering with the initiative enhances a company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credentials. Jamie continued:
“Working with a service that helps the locally upskilled unemployed shows a real commitment to social responsibility and community development. We know through working with employers that the recruitment service aligns with sustainable business practices and improves our clients’ ESG performance, so it’s a pretty powerful offer.”
The industry-specific experience of FTW means workforces are not just trained; they are also future-proofed with knowledge of the warehousing sector.
Stephen Dovey, Director, commented:
“We don’t just want our candidates to gain qualifications, but to embrace the sector they may work in. For instance, our learners undertake a Skills Bootcamp training course in Green Energy specific to the Warehouse and Logistics sector, funded by the Department for Education. This is geared to teach candidates about Net Zero, Carbon Emissions, and how the sector is moving towards achieving Net Zero. As future employees, we want our learners to not just have knowledge of how to do a job, but how to think, innovate, and align with an employer’s own strategy. We think this will also help them progress their careers.”
The recruitment service is already proving to be very successful, with Stephen adding:
“We have recently undertaken a training programme with a large Lidl distribution centre in Runcorn. We put forward 13 learners for interview, and 10 of the candidates were offered jobs, which was great news for both parties. We are very positive about building on these types of stories now our recruitment service is in operation.”
