🎅✨ What a delightful morning at the office! We were so thrilled to welcome Hayley- not just a valued business friend, but today’s very own Santa 🎁. Your thoughtful gift brightened our day and reminded us how special these connections are. Thank you for spreading holiday cheer and kindness! 💛

Lots of people assume there’s no point applying for jobs in December, but that’s where opportunities are missed.

While it might feel like things slow down, plenty of employers are planning ahead and still hiring.

With fewer candidates applying, you’ve actually got a better chance of standing out. So yes, enjoy the Christmas chocolates, but don’t put your job search completely on pause. Staying active now could mean starting the new year already ahead.

🌿 Save the Date! 🌿

We’re excited to be hosting “Wellbeing Doesn’t Have to Be Boring: Rethinking Corporate Wellness” on Tuesday 17th February 2026 at the NE BIC.

We’ll be joined by a fantastic guest speaker, Kelly Brougham, from Active Families North East CIC, an award-winning organisation recognised for its real, honest approach to community wellbeing.

This refreshing, down-to-earth session will explore:
✨ Why workplace wellbeing doesn’t need to feel awkward or “tick-box”
✨ Small, realistic changes that boost staff morale and energy
✨ Real-world insights from working closely with communities facing wellbeing barriers
✨ Practical, human, inclusive ideas you can take back to your workplace straight away

Expect optional interactive elements (all seat-based!), relatable examples, and plenty of takeaways your teams can use immediately.

If you want to rethink how wellbeing really looks in your organisation, this is one not to miss.

📍 Northeast Business & Innovation Centre (NE BIC)
📅 Tuesday 17th February 2026 | 10am–12pm

If a role doesn’t feel right, you’re allowed to say no.

Recruiters prefer honest feedback to pretending everything’s fine. If the commute, salary, or job itself isn't suitable, tell us clearly.

Finding the right job is about long-term satisfaction, not quick fixes.

We get it, writing your CV isn’t the most thrilling task. But sending the same one to every job? It’s like showing up to an interview in your pyjamas. It might be comfy, but it won’t get you hired.

Tailoring your CV shows you’ve made the effort. It helps employers see why you’re the right fit.

If you're applying through Gillespie Recruitment, we’ll help you figure out what to highlight and where. No fluff, just honest advice that gets results.

Interviewers sometimes ask questions that can be interpreted in different ways.

If a question seems unclear, politely ask them to clarify what they're looking for.
