This programme has become a springboard for growth and it is planned that the group will continue to invest in this area to support this significant addition in headcount. Morgan McKinley has adopted a customer centric approach to the recruitment process demonstrating real innovation, most recently as part of this programme the company launched a new candidate microsite, the Career Ally Hub to improve the experience of professionals on their career journey with its resource centre.
