A Brief History
The Champion group was founded in 1981 by Tracy Hoodless, with the main
aim of combining the professionalism of the larger recruitment companies with
the flexibility and personal service of the smaller firms. Today, Champion has
become one of the larger companies but our aim remains the same. Indeed, it is
probably this philosophy which has made Champion one of the market leaders
in recruitment in the Oxfordshire region.
The Champion group now has a turnover of £27 million, a staff of 61 and 7
specialist divisions operating across 4 strategically located branches, with up to
1,500 temporary staff, from a diverse range of disciplines, working every week
on behalf of client companies.
Since our doors opened in 1981 our focus has been on the delivery of a service
to client and candidate alike, which is professional, flexible and tailor made to
suit individual requirements.
To us, service has always been about understanding our clients’ recruitment
needs and working together with them to ensure that expectations are
continuously met. It is this approach that has enabled us to form long term
partnerships with over 2000 organisations throughout the region.
Constantly evolving, we use the most up-to-date recruitment techniques
including Behavioural Interviewing to add an extra level of rigour to the
selection process. This enables us to produce a shortlist of candidates that have
been objectively evaluated against key competencies.
Still owner managed, we are dedicated to continually adapting to the changing
recruitment requirements of modern business by providing effective, flexible
solutions at a competitive price, without compromising on quality of service.

recruitment service, Champion HR provides temporary, permanent and contract

recruitment in the Oxfordshire area. Whether you need a qualified accountant or

engineering, scientific and IT sectors, Champion Technical can provide a broad

5
Champion IT
The Information Technology arm of our Technical Division has seen an ever
increasing demand for its services. Specialist knowledge of the sector allows us
to introduce individuals and teams to complement existing in-house staff and to
provide temporary or contract personnel with skills in particular areas of short
term or project orientated demand.
Experience
There’s no substitute for it. Between us, we have over 100 years’ experience in
the recruitment of a broad range of personnel.
This experience covers virtually every sector of commerce, industry and the
institutions.

The quality of our service is constantly monitored to ensure that the highest
standards are maintained. Our quality department staff will keep in touch with
you regularly to ensure that you are entirely satisfied with our service.

Champion Recruitment
Industrial Personnel
Always there when you need us. We are at your service 24 hours a day, 365
days a year.
In recent years there has been a dramatic
change in the demand for temporary
industrial personnel. It is not unusual for
organisations to cope with busy periods
by using short term personnel to support
a small core of permanent staff.
From one to 100 we are at your service
to provide you with high quality
industrial personnel to assist in the
smooth, cost effective running of your
operation. Since 1981 we have been
providing Oxfordshire firms with teams
of assemblers, production operatives,
pickers/packers and forklift drivers.
Planned or unplanned – we plan for
both. With 4 branches throughout the
county we have access to 100’s of staff
at any given time. Requests for 30 staff
within half an hour is an everyday
occurrence. Our huge database of
personnel and our ability to get people to you quickly makes our service one of
the most efficient in the region.
Contract Management – more and more clients are asking us to provide
supervisors to take charge of our temporary teams. All the time consuming
administration matters usually associated with the hiring of temporary staff are
taken care of by our supervisors, thereby affording your key personnel the time
to concentrate fully on your operation.
7
Secretarial and Administration
Temporary and Permanent Staff - when you need the right person for the
job, you can’t afford to waste time and money looking.
We know this only too well because, since 1981, we’ve helped thousands of
organisations in the Oxfordshire area fulfil their recruitment requirements.
Experience – there is no substitute for it. The consultants throughout our
branches have over 100 years combined experience in the field of secretarial
and administrative recruitment. We know that our clients expect a professional
service that saves them time and money, and we make sure that they receive it.
Strategically located – with 4 branches strategically located throughout the
County we have access to a larger catchment of local candidates than any other
recruitment consultancy. All our branches are sited in prime high street
locations to ensure the maximum exposure of clients’ vacancies. This, together
with an advertisement budget of in excess of £150,000 per annum, means that
we can respond rapidly to clients’ requirements. We can usually provide
temporary staff within an hour and produce a shortlist of candidates for
permanent appointments within 4 hours.
Selection and Assessment – our consultants are trained in the art of
interviewing and selection. Before recommending candidates to clients,
attention is paid to every detail of the requirement, including skills, personality
type and long term objectives. Skills are assessed by us on the latest software
and we currently test for competence in the most commonly used computer
packages. Temporary candidates have references taken on them from previous
employers, before being assigned to clients.
The complete solution to all your secretarial and administrative staff
requirements, be they temporary or permanent, is just a phone call away. You
can rely on us to provide you with a shortlist of candidates for your vacancy or
an ideal temporary to fulfil your short term, or long term requirement.

Catering
Catering for Caterers is our Business.
We are proud of our reputation for providing the highest standard of catering
personnel. Our catering division is run by a manager with 25 years’ experience
in the catering industry, so it is hardly surprising that we are the main supplier
of catering staff to many well-known, national contract catering concerns, as
well as numerous local establishments.
Experience, Flexibility, Patience, Stamina, are, in our view, the main
attributes required of any member of a catering brigade. Our catering personnel
are assessed for these attributes before being introduced to our catering clients.
In addition, they have to complete a medical questionnaire (where appropriate)
and provide us with satisfactory references. Food Hygiene certificates are
examined and copies are kept on file.
From an Executive Chef to a General Assistant – we are experienced in
providing most categories of catering personnel at very short notice. We can
supply teams of staff for functions or just one person to help out in an
emergency. Our 24 hour service is there whenever you have a requirement, so
you need not worry if one of your staff does not turn up at the weekend or first
thing in the morning.
9
Driving Personnel
LGV and Van
An idle vehicle is an expensive liability – and it is vital, therefore, to have
someone you can call upon to provide you with a driver at short notice. The
Champion driving division has been providing drivers to firms throughout
Oxfordshire since 1981. We are used to handling requirements from only a day
to those lasting a year or even longer.
24 Hour Service – You can call on us at any time of day or night and we will
do our utmost to provide you with a driver just on time, every time.
Professional – We recognise that the modern driver is smart, clean and often
the representative by which our clients are judged. We take care to select drivers
who fit our customers’ image and are competent in completing their tasks
efficiently.
Interviewing, Selection and Assessment – All our drivers are interviewed by
consultants who understand the transport industry. Licences are checked and
copies are kept on file. Tests are given to ensure that drivers are fully
conversant with the law in relation to tachographs and driving hours
regulations. References are taken, where possible, to provide information on
previous driving and accident history.
FTA Member – Our membership of the FTA means that we are constantly up
to date with the changing world of transport.

who fulfil the individual requirements of both the role and the client. We are
able to tailor our selection and assessment processes to meet individual
requirements, with techniques including Behaviour-based Interviewing.

Accountancy
Exceptional People
The continuing success of any
company or organisation is
determined, ultimately, by the
quality of its accountancy staff.
It is no coincidence, therefore, that many of the top 500 companies in the UK
have a qualified Accountant as their Chairman or Managing Director.
Accountancy Selection recognises that there is more to accountancy than adding
up figures and ticking invoices. We understand that an Accountant needs to be a
good communicator, a team player, a high academic achiever, an effective
manager, comfortable with figures, analytical and highly self motivated.
General Accounts staff need to be methodical, computer literate and capable of
working quickly to a high degree of accuracy.
Accountancy Selection has a 32 year successful track record in recruiting high
quality accountancy staff, of all levels, on behalf of hundreds of organisations in
the Oxford and Thames Valley area. We believe our success is due to our ability
to satisfy our clients’ exact demands efficiently at a competitive price.
A single solution to all your accountancy staff requirements. Our expertise
covers the whole spectrum of accountancy from ledger clerks through to
qualified accountants; from permanent appointments to temporary solutions to
project based assignments.
Whatever your requirement, you can rely on Accountancy Selection to provide
you with a prompt efficient service at a competitive price.
Assessment and Selection
Working from detailed specifications provided by clients, candidates are
recommended following an in-depth interview by one of our experienced
consultants. We know that the ideal candidate will need more than just
qualifications and experience; so particular attention is paid in screening
candidates, to ensure that not only do they have the right qualifications but the
right personality to fit in with our client’s corporate culture. Our sole objective
is to provide a shortlist of candidates from which the ideal person can be
selected.
12
Professionally, Promptly, Effectively
We will commence working on your vacancy immediately upon receipt of your
instructions. In the unlikely event of our not having the ideal candidate on file
we will advertise on your behalf, free of charge, in the most appropriate media.
Our consultants will liaise with you throughout the recruitment process until an
appointment is made.
Temporary
‘Right on Time’ is the Accountancy Selection approach to providing a broad
range of temporary accountancy staff. In recent times there has been a dramatic
increase in the demand for temporary accountancy staff, to support a small core
of permanent staff in coping with fluctuating demands on work resources. We
can help you to work with optimum staffing levels to meet these varying
workloads. The economic advantages of paying only for work done are obvious.
For example, you do not pay for unproductive time such as lunch hours, and
Bank Holidays. We can provide you with accounts staff from most disciplines
for a day, a week or as long as needed.
Short Term Projects
We are constantly being asked to provide highly qualified and experienced
accountancy staff for project based assignments. Whether your need is for a
qualified accountant to assist with your year end, a team of credit controllers to
collect outstanding debts, or a long term temporary to cover maternity leave, we
can help you.
Code of Ethics
We work to the highest standards of integrity, using a modern approach to
recruitment solutions while still retaining traditional values. Confidentiality is
assured to client and candidate alike.
13
KBA - Sales and Marketing
The recruitment and selection of sales, marketing and managerial staff takes
expertise of a very special kind.
KBA offers a comprehensive professional service for clients seeking to recruit
staff from these disciplines, which is flexible enough to accommodate
companies and projects of any kind.
KBA consultants are all professional sales people, so they recognise the
importance of selecting only candidates with the necessary attributes and
experience to be successful in sales, marketing and managerial roles.
Our focus is on finding you the ideal candidate to
meet your specification. Our initial task is to get
to know your company so that we can fully
understand your requirements. We can then
introduce only the people most suited to your
needs. Your time is valuable; we won’t waste it.
Register Search
We maintain an extensive database of
candidates, from which we may be able to
identify the ideal candidates for your shortlist.
The majority of these candidates will already have been assessed by us
following an in-depth interview with one of our consultants. Particular attention
is paid throughout the interviewing process to identify the candidates’ strengths,
their long term objectives and the role to which they would be most suited.
Assignment Based Selection
Our clients often ask us to advertise on their behalf in the most appropriate
media to attract candidates with the more specialist skills and experience.
All advertisements carry our logo and contact details so that all enquiries are
processed by us. Initial interviews are conducted by us, following which, a
shortlist of thoroughly screened candidates who match the job and person
specification is presented to clients. Detailed portfolios are produced and
suitable times are arranged for clients to meet shortlisted candidates.
14
Special Projects
Many clients ask us to provide them with short term solutions to fulfil a need
that is of a temporary nature. It may be that they need a team of telemarketers or
a demonstrator to assist with a product launch. We have a comprehensive
register of personnel who are experienced and readily available to handle these
assignments.
Interviewing Facilities
All clients are welcome to take advantage of the interviewing facilities based in
our prestigious offices in central Oxford. This service is available free of charge
to all clients using our service.
Ethical Standards
We operate to a strict code of ethics and offer absolute confidentiality to both
our clients and our candidates.

people is maximised. Our partners are thoroughly vetted and we restrict our
partnerships to only those with the highest professional and ethical standards.
