Harper Adams University has officially launched its recruitment agency - Unitemps Harper Adams. 

The University joined the Unitemps network earlier this year, and the new agency will deliver flexible and efficient workforce solutions for students, graduates and local jobseekers.

Alastair Dawes, Director of Business Engagement and Knowledge Exchange at Harper Adams, said: “Our partnership with the national Unitemps network further strengthens our commitment to equipping students with practical, real-world experience and the skills essential for long-term career success.

“By enhancing employability, we’ll be making a meaningful contribution to the future prospects of both our students and jobseekers across the local community.

“We’re committed to our region, and this investment, establishing a dedicated recruitment agency, further reinforces our work supporting employers across Telford & Wrekin and the wider county of Shropshire.

“Through our Unitemps branch, we aim to help employers address current skills shortages by providing fast, reliable access to a skilled and motivated workforce.”

Staff from the Unitemps Team will be based both in the Bamford building, on the University’s Edgmond Campus, and at The Quad, located in the Station Quarter area of Telford.

The team will be led by Branch Manager Jenice Forde, an outstanding recruitment professional who has held several senior positions, most recently as Regional Manager at Reed Recruitment in Manchester, recruiting talent in Engineering, Accountancy, Finance, Legal, Business Support & Sales.  Jenice is a Harper Adams University Business Graduate.

Jenice added: “I am excited to lead Harper Adams’ Unitemps Branch. I’m looking forward to working with colleagues across the University and Shropshire’s employers to place our exceptional students and the local community in roles to meet their staffing needs.”
