Q4 Hiring Survival Pack 01: IDENTIFY 🔎

On Friday, someone handed in their notice.

The temptation? Find their old job description, change the date and get it advertised before anyone has time to panic.

Not so fast.

A vacancy can be an opportunity to look at what your business actually needs - not simply replace the person who's leaving.

🔹Has the role changed?
🔹Is there a skills gap elsewhere in the team?
🔹What do you need versus what could be trained?
🔹Is the salary still right for the market?
🔹And does that job description bear any resemblance to what the person actually does?

We've put together our guide to successfully identifying a gap in your business before you start recruiting.

🔗 Read the full article here: https://www.glurecruit.co.uk/before-you-recruit-do-you-actually-know-what-you-need/

And if identifying what you need is proving harder than expected, give Glu a shout. Sometimes an outside perspective is exactly what you need.

That Government emergency alert was enough to make anyone panic 🚨.

But if you're a hiring manager, there are a few words that might do it even faster…

“I've handed in my notice.”

Before anyone panics, dusts off the job description from 2019 and starts shouting “WE NEED SOMEONE ASAP”, there's something worth figuring out first.

Do you actually need to replace them like-for-like? Or is this an opportunity to look at what your team needs now?

Welcome to Glu's Q4 Hiring Survival Pack 🧰.

Throughout September, we're taking you through the hiring journey - from identifying the gap right through to getting your new starter settled in.

Stay tuned.

Until then, if you've already got a hiring emergency on your hands, you know where we are.

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

You may have already met Reggie and Ted, our official Glu Recruit office mascots (and arguably the most important members of the team)...

But they’re definitely not the only four-legged friends in the Glu family! 🐶

Whether they’re popping into the office, making an appearance on Teams, or becoming the main topic of conversation in the Glu WhatsApp group chat, there’s no shortage of pups around here.

So, for National Dog Day, we thought it was only right to introduce you to some of the furry friends behind the Glu team 🐾.

Happy National Dog Day from Reggie, Ted and the rest of the Glu pups!

So, we know there are more jobs out there… but who’s actually doing the hiring? 👀

Last week, we shared that advertised vacancies across South Yorkshire had increased by almost 2,000 in a month.

This week, we’ve dug a little deeper into which industries are driving that demand.

Across South Yorkshire, Health & Social Care, Wholesale & Retail, Education, Manufacturing and Professional, Scientific & Technical make up the top five recruiting industries, while Construction also features in Rotherham’s top five.

And what stands out to us? There isn’t just one sector doing all the heavy lifting.

Businesses across a really broad mix of industries are competing for people - and not necessarily just with businesses that look like their own.

Communication, management and customer service are among the most requested skills in July, and those skills can move pretty comfortably between sectors.

So the question for employers isn’t just are there candidates out there? It's why should they choose us?

Salary, flexibility, employer brand, candidate experience and a recruitment process that doesn’t take approximately 84 years all matter.

And the good news? Glu recruits across these industries too.

From warehouse and production operatives, drivers and machinists to retail managers, buyers, care and support workers, teachers and plenty more.

Don’t assume it’s not a Glu role. Tell us what you need.

A great idea is one thing. Turning it into theatre that reaches thousands of people is something else entirely 🎭.

Take Anna Hibiscus’ Song. Utopia Theatre and Sheffield Theatres transformed Atinuke’s much-loved children's story into a joyful production filled with music, dance, puppetry and traditional African storytelling.

It began on stage in Sheffield, then Utopia took it beyond traditional theatre walls, with pay-as-you-can performances in community venues across Yorkshire.

And then? It went national. From Bristol Old Vic and York Theatre Royal to CAST Doncaster and London's Unicorn Theatre, Anna's story travelled across the country.

That journey says so much about what Utopia Theatre does. They create. They produce. They build partnerships. They reach new audiences. And they take African theatre further.

But getting an idea from a rehearsal room to stages around the country takes a huge amount behind the scenes. Budgets. Schedules. Artists. Venues. Funders. Partners. Touring. Teams.

And someone has to bring all of that together without losing sight of the artistic vision.

That's the person we're looking for.

💼 Executive Theatre Producer & Programme Director
📍 Sheffield
💷 £45,000 - £48,000

Working alongside Utopia's Artistic Director & CEO, you'll help shape what comes next - producing theatre, developing new work, building partnerships and turning artistic ambition into programmes that happen.

Could you be the person who helps take it from an idea to the stage - and beyond?

Football. Sheffield women. Black British history. And the Crucible stage.

Not necessarily four things you'd immediately put together - Utopia Theatre did.

All Our Goals explored the story of Emma Clarke - thought to be Britain's first Black female footballer - alongside the stories and talents of women from Sheffield.

And the brilliant bit? You didn't need to be an actor, have stage experience or even feel like theatre was "your thing".

Women from the community helped create the production through workshops, conversations and rehearsals, before it made its way onto the Crucible main stage for a pay-what-you-can performance.

THAT is what making the arts accessible can look like.

Not just inviting communities into a space, but giving people the opportunity to shape what happens in it.

But projects like this don't just happen. They need ideas, people, partnerships and, crucially, funding.

And that's where one of the roles we're recruiting for comes in.

🔸Fundraising Manager | Utopia Theatre
🔸Sheffield | £38,000 – £42,000

We're looking for someone who can build brilliant relationships, create compelling cases for support and secure the funding that helps Utopia's productions, programmes and community work happen.

Yes, you'll need to know your way around a great funding application.

But the bigger picture? You'll be helping fund the stories, opportunities and experiences that deserve to happen.

If you're an experienced fundraiser looking for a role where you can genuinely see the impact of what you do, we'd love to hear from you.

Something’s brewing, and in exactly ONE MONTH, it'll be ready.

On 17th September, we'll be exhibiting at the Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce Chamber Means Business Expo - and this year, we’re bringing a little something extra with us.

We’ve teamed up with Nespresso Professional - Lyreco to create what we’re calling… The Perfect Blend ☕.

Because actually, a great coffee and a great hire have more in common than you might think.

So, rather than simply popping by our stand to say hello, come and grab a proper coffee, tell us what’s happening in your business and share your biggest hiring challenges - stand number to come soon 👀.

We’ll have plenty of fresh market insights to share, useful recruitment takeaways, games, prizes and, most importantly, the Glu team on hand for a good old chat about your people plans.

📅 17 September 2026 | 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
📍 AESSEAL New York Stadium, Rotherham

It’s free to attend, but you’ll need to book your place here: https://www.chambermeansbusiness.co.uk/

Are we finally seeing a little more movement in the jobs market? 👀

We’ve been looking at July’s latest Labour Market Information for South Yorkshire and Rotherham and there are some encouraging signs!

And this is exactly why we love having Rob Shaw on the Rotherham Growth Board - we get brilliant insights like this into what’s actually happening in our local jobs market.

Across South Yorkshire, 45,411 vacancies were advertised in July - up by almost 2,000 in just one month.

Closer to home, Rotherham had 7,353 advertised vacancies, while the average advertised salary increased by £256 to £31,552.

So, is the market suddenly booming? No. But are we seeing some movement? Absolutely.

And for employers, that means something else too: more competition for good people.

Salary matters, but so does your employer brand, your recruitment process, how quickly you move and how well you sell the opportunity.

If hiring is on your agenda over the next few months, get in touch with our team today.

There’s a big difference between putting on a production and creating work that actually changes who feels seen.

That’s one of the reasons we’re so proud to be working exclusively with Utopia Theatre.

Based in Sheffield, Utopia champions African and African Caribbean stories, artists and perspectives, creating work that entertains, challenges and opens up conversations.

Earlier this year, Utopia Theatre and Sheffield Theatres brought Crown of Blood to the Crucible - a powerful Yoruba adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, relocating the story to the civil wars of 19th-century Yorubaland.

A familiar story. A completely different cultural lens.

Representation in the arts isn’t simply about who we see on stage.

It’s about whose stories are given space. Whose experiences we get to understand. And who gets to walk into a theatre and feel like that space belongs to them too.

You can read more about this production here: https://www.utopiatheatre.co.uk/project/crown-of-blood/

We’re currently recruiting three people who’ll play an important part in helping Utopia continue that work.

🎭 Executive Producer & Programme Director

If you’re looking for a role where the work behind the scenes has a very real impact out front, this could be worth a look.

Targets smashed. Achievements unlocked. Nando’s earned 🌶️.

What better way to end the week than with a team Nando’s? July was a HUGE team effort here at Glu Recruit, with plenty to celebrate…

🎯 Targets hit
👏 New achievements across the team
⭐ Taryn Foster officially passed her probation
🚀 Our consultants absolutely smashing their targets

So, as a well-earned treat, Joe Hall and Rob Shaw treated the team to a Nando’s in the office today - a huge thanks from all the team.

Now, you might notice we’re a few faces short in the photos… half the team are camera shy, and the other half had already tucked in before we had chance to snap a picture!

A lovely way to round off a brilliant month and end the week together.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

We’ll be back on Monday, doing what we do best – helping great people and great businesses find the right fit.
