Something Comes Along: The young-onset / early-onset Parkinson’s episode by Totum Talks

55 per cent of Totum’s placements since the first lockdown, were in BD & marketing – so although recruitment roles may have slowed – those for BD & marketing have not. Totum Consultants Joanna Milne and Georgia Cooke tell us about the latest trends, new roles – including recruitment activity now and into the future. And, it’s positive news for BD & marketing professionals in law firms and the wider professional services.

Totum's consultants Laura McNair & Roisin Ashmore talk to us about what they have seen in the world of People & HR recruitment during the pandemic and in 2021. The trends in demand in new roles within D&I and wellbeing and how law and professional services firms are managing virtual interviews and onboarding. There is plenty of positive news and plenty of positive changes - which we might all need at the moment!

Totum's Deborah Gray asks Tracey Groves, ESG consultant, why the focus on sustainable business is so important. Is it another passing phase? or is it here to stay? How will this impact attracting and retaining talent? and what practical advice she has for firm leaders.

It is a fascinating topic and Tracey passionate and wealth of knowledge is worth listening too.
