In-house vs. Outsourced hiring

"Choosing to leave a job that you love isn’t easy. Choosing to leave a job that you love in the midst of a global pandemic without anything else lined up is, well, yeah… it’s hard.

I’d decided to relocate from London to Glasgow, where I’d grown up, and spend time living with a friend while I searched for my next opportunity. Things were moving slowly and it really didn’t take long for the doubt to creep in... It felt like I’d closed a door and was on the wrong side of it.

Over the next 18 months, I was fortunate to get a number of opportunities working for some incredible companies, with great products, and even better people, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was some unfinished business there. I’d relocated back to London and things were going well…

That’s when I received an email. This email contained a 3 minute video of a certain CEO 👀 performing a rendition of the Take That song ‘Want You Back’ with some slight lyrical adjustments. Despite being out of tune and delivered in the entirely wrong key; I was completely sold on the serenade!

I’ve now been back at Canda for 3 months and it’s safe to say that I’m absolutely loving it. It’s been great to see some familiar faces, as well as meeting all the new ones, and I’m so happy to be where I am and on this journey together.

The last couple of years haven’t been easy for everyone, and we all have our stories. To be honest, I’m not even sure what I believe you should take from mine. Maybe it’s that sometimes it’s OK to trust your instincts and if it feels like the right thing to do; it probably is, or perhaps it’s that things often have a way of working themselves out?

All I know for sure is that Take That have some absolute bangers, and Gary Barlow is a national treasure."

Hey, UK - you’ve officially depleted all the Earth’s natural resources for the year. Happy (or not) #earthovershoot day!🌎🎉

Anything we consume over this point is basically debt…and we haven’t even properly started summer yet!

This day was created by https://www.overshootday.org/ and aims to provide us with the information and solutions we need in order to #movethedate

Here at Canda, we’re planet-conscious. That’s why we’re a #pendingbcorp, and aim to try to improve our environmental impact. Here’s also some of our planet-conscious partners:

👉 Ecologi - individuals and businesses can subscribe to #carbonoffset their emissions, supporting projects that protect ecosystems and the rainforest, plants trees and forest and powers renewable energy. For as little as £4.70/month you can help regenerative the earth’s resources and #movethedate

👉 SparkChange - these guys have created the world’s first physical carbon trading product that trades on carbon permits. Investing in a permit prevents big polluters from being able to utilise the earth’s resources to…well, pollute!

Canda’s very own @nasfranklin has introduced a wellness plan to keep our people and pooches in peak physical and mental condition during the long, dark (and dry for some) month of January 🙌🏼

Week 1 has included the science behind why exercise feels good, the art of dealing with disruptive dogs during a workout and a serious collection of active snaps 📸

We’ve got walkers, runners, swimmers (some in warmer weather than others (👀 Alley) climbers, lifters and yogi’s in the mix 🤩
