Leading South Yorkshire based recruitment consultancy, Multitask Personnel, has set up a working partnership with Arena Training Centre, one of the regions go-to training providers in the electrical services sector, to offer a joined up approach to recruitment and upskilling Electricians for EV and Solar PV/Battery EESS installations.
This has enabled Multitask Personnel to offer employers a complete solution to not only recruit, but also upskill key staff as they embrace new roles in the Energy & Renewables, and Mechanical & Electrical sectors.
With rapid growth within these sectors and only a small percentage of electricians being fully trained in Solar/Battery or EV, this is creating a lot of challenges for the industry. This collaboration creates a solution to facilitate the demand from employers, enabling Multitask Personnel to offer a package to recruit qualified electricians who are looking to move into the renewables sector, and upskilling them through the relevant training so they are ready made for the employer to take them on.
Backed up by a new five-step approach, including candidate sourcing, interviewing, identifying skills gaps, delivering training and issuing the relevant certification, this collaboration is designed to ensure that employers can take on employees who are part qualified and upskill them quickly and efficiently to the required level to take on the role.
Claire Lee, Managing Director of Multitask Personnel comments: "We are thrilled to collaborate with Arena Training Centre to offer a comprehensive solution for recruiting and upskilling electricians for EV and Solar PV/Battery EESS installations. This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting businesses in the renewable energy sector by providing them with highly skilled and certified professionals.
“Working with employers in these fast moving sectors, we’ve identified there are skills gaps that are restricting recruitment so we’re working hand in hand with both the employer and the candidate to overcome these obstacles and make sure that if the candidate is the right fit, they can quickly be upskilled to the required standards.”
Peter Montfort, Director of Arena Training adds: “We are excited to join forces with Multitask Personnel. By combining our expertise in training with their recruitment capabilities, we can ensure that businesses receive well-trained, certified electricians ready to meet the demands of the rapidly growing renewable energy market.”

Over the past month they have appointed Katie Johnson as Personal Assistant (PA) to the Managing Director, and Ell Watts as a Resourcer.
Katie, who has worked with Multitask Personnel previously, has re-joined the team and brings a wealth of experience in her new role as PA, whereas Ell was initially recruited for a client, working on a temporary project based in the Multitask office, who made a great impression and was offered a permanent role working for Multitask Personnel after her temp job ended.
Katie comments: “I have worked for Multitask in the past as a Recruitment Consultant and it is fantastic to be back with this amazing team. In my former role I supported a whole host of candidates and clients, and prior to this I worked in an Estate Agency where my time was dedicated to customer service.”
Ell comments: “After leaving education I started working for a construction company where I gained my Business Admin Level 2, and after a few years working with the company I decided to look for something new and explore a different career path. This is where I found Multitask and I have used their services as a candidate to find a new job.
“I was placed in a temp role working in the Multitask office for another company, and I left a really good impression as I was asked to stay on, but this time as a Resourcer for Multitask”
Claire Lee, Managing Director at Multitask Personnel comments: “We are happy to have Katie back working with us at Multitask. She has years of experience working within a recruitment consultancy setting, plus administrative experience, which are all excellent transferable skills that have allowed her to slot into her new role as my PA perfectly.

“On behalf of all of the team at Multitask, I can safely say that we are really excited to have Katie and Ell working with us and we wish them both the best of luck working in their new roles.”

Tuesday 8th March 2022 is International Women’s Day, with this year’s theme of #BreakTheBias campaigning for a gender equal world, free of bias stereotypes and discrimination.
At Multitask Personnel, we’re proud to not only be an equal opportunities employer, but also an inspiring place to learn, work and prosper in a largely female led environment.
Our Managing Director, Claire Lee, takes a look at how developing a successful business from the ground up can empower others to do the same.
Claire tells us more about her journey: “I had worked in recruitment for around 10 years prior to setting up Multitask Personnel, mainly in account management for the environmental, business services, hospitality and industrial sectors. This gave me the grounding and knowledge needed to build up my own business after deciding the more corporate business model was not the direction I wanted to go.
“When I set up Multitask Personnel, it was just me working out of my dining room with a laptop and a phone, but I had a clear direction of where I wanted to take my business. In a largely male dominated industry at the time, it was important for me to break down the stereotype of women in recruitment and lead from the front.
“Business quickly took off, and our first recruits came on board as we started to break into new industries, such as construction, building services, trades and M&E. Again, largely male dominated industries, our team of female recruiters grew the business with confidence, determination, and a lot of hard work.
“Multitask Personnel is now 12 years old with a team of over 15 wonderful people (of which 11 are female), all striving to better themselves and reach their potential. Recruitment can be a cut-throat industry, so it’s vital to have a team of self-motivated and driven people who can take a negative and turn it into a positive. It’s that determination that helps you succeed, and our team have that in abundance.
“None of what we have achieved would have been possible with the support of my fantastic team at Multitask, with three members of the team having worked with us since the beginning, and a further three recently surpassing 5 years’ service of their own. Our success is theirs to celebrate as well.”
Dawn Wilson-Crumbie, PA at Multitask Personnel adds: “As a woman in business, working for Multitask Personnel is empowering. Developing strong female leaders within the business helps us stand out in what has typically been a male dominated sector, but it also creates an environment where young women can learn and develop a new career, and reach the top.
“There’s no glass ceiling here, and with the right guidance and strategic development plans from the senior management team anyone can achieve anything, regardless of age, race, background or gender.”
