About Adsum
"I founded Adsum Resource Ltd with the belief (based upon my 15 years experience within the recruitment sector), that our industry has seen a significant increase in the client expectations it needs to meet in order to optimise revenues.
Forming a strong personal relationship is key in our industry however you may not have the opportunity to do this if the presentations and documentation which provide first impression of your organisation let you down. Without this being 100% correct each and every time it is submitted your staff may never get an opportunity to utilise their core sales skills. I also understand the tight deadlines, staffing issues and margins which can stretch available resource to breaking point and it is for this reason that Adsum aims to deliver flexible, outsourced support focussed solely on the recruitment sector and provided by professionals with real understanding of your needs"Neil Hayward Founder & Managing Director
