Three local ladies have something to smile about

GSWRA Recruitment team and staff of the new Crystal Smile venture at Silverburn

Thanks to the recruitment support from Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency (GSWRA) a new teeth whitening business based in Silverburn Shopping Centre, hired the right staff to get their new venture off the ground. 

From the outset, owner of Crystal Smile, Frank Rameshni, knew that for his business to succeed in south west Glasgow he would need to employ good local people. Via existing contacts with the management centre at Silverburn, Frank was put in touch with the recruitment team at GSWRA.

 From the initial meeting Karen Smith, Recruitment Adviser was able to assess the staffing needs of the new business and set about developing a tailored recruitment solution. The positions were advertised, the initial selection was conducted and the successful candidates were put forward for a formal interview. This resulted in three local ladies getting full-time jobs – Janet Ross (Manager), Veda Gray and Lauren Donnelly (Sales Assistants).

Frank Rameshni, owner of Crystal Smile said, ‘the support and guidance I received from the team at Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency has been fantastic. Karen Smith and Jean Morrison my advisers could instantly identify with what my business needed. They did all the hard work and then sent me a list of suitable candidates.

Frank, added, ‘This service made the whole set-up process for me so much easier and allowed me time to focus on the other issues relating to setting up the new venture. I’d thoroughly recommend the agency to all businesses, the service is 100% free and these people really know what they are doing. It’s been like having our very own HR department on tap’
