Huddersfield’s Major Recruitment invests in business telephony

A Huddersfield-headquartered recruitment business has invested in the newest business telephony.

Major Recruitment recently opened offices in Beverley, East Yorkshire, and also has locations in Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool.

The business has five sister companies, also specialising in recruitment services, and together they have 10 offices in the north.

Wakefield-based NGC Networks has supported Major Recruitment’s expansion over several years and has now implemented Voice Over IP (VoIP) technology at all its sites.

VoIP delivers voice communications over the internet rather than via traditional telephone lines, providing cost savings and improved resilience and business continuity.

Phil Bottomley, managing director of Major Recruitment, said: “The new solution works well and is very flexible with free calls to mobile telephones, which is the bulk of our outbound calls. NGC Networks has supported us in our business telephony requirements as we have grown and become a key player in the recruitment sector.”

Dean Harrop, Director at NGC Networks, added: “The move away from traditional telephony to VoIP is becoming increasingly popular with businesses.

“Not only does this technology deliver cost savings but it also enables companies to improve their resilience in terms of disaster recovery. We are pleased to continue to support Major Recruitment in the latest development of its business operations.”

The other companies in the Major Recruitment group are Mpeople Recruitment, Carleton Recruitment, Venian, Steve Ball Recruitment and Major Technical Recruitment.
