Unique Client Solutions Unconvinced by Unemployment Fall

Whilst Unique Client Solutions is encouraged by a slight fall in unemployment in Sheffield, the customer acquisitions company feels it hides deeper problems.

Unique Client Solutions has reported many times on the difficulties facing people in the job market today so when they read recently released figures that unemployment had fallen by 76 to 3,010 in Sheffield South East constituency, there has still been a 10 per cent overall increase over the last year.

Unique Client Solutions, a customer acquisitions company based in Sheffield, feels that though unemployment is starting to stabilise there is a very real concern where youth unemployment is concerned. Managing director Simon Tomlinson believes that there is still a lot more work to do to rectify the problem, “Youth unemployment is 200 per cent higher than it was at this time last year, that is a staggering figure. The government is pushing on with their drive to get young people into work but we feel much more needs to be done, by way of entry level positions, to ensure that this figure falls fast.”

It was announced yesterday that Britain had entered recession again after the economy shrunk for the second consecutive month. Mr Tomlinson believes that this will be an additional worry to job seekers. “In general things had appeared to be moving in the right direction and when businesses are confident that things are getting better they are more likely to hire. Now that it has been announced that the economy isn’t moving in the direction we would have liked, businesses are likely to show caution. When companies are cautious about who they take on, they are far more likely to take on someone with experience, than risk starting a graduate straight out of university with little experience.”

What advice would Unique Client Solutions give to job seekers? “For those individuals who are really intent on finding work, you need to apply for as many positions and opportunities as you can. It can be time consuming but your efforts will pay off. It is essential that you get some kind of experience if you want to progress. In this kind of jobs market you’re going to have to be aggressive.”

Unique Client Solutions Enjoyed Derby Between Steel City Football Clubs

Sheffield based Unique Client Solutions watched the 127^th Steel City Derby this weekend and described the atmosphere as ‘carnival-like’.

The Steel City Derby (or Sheffield Derby) is a local derby that takes place between Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday; the two professional football league teams based in the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. It is widely considered to be one of the most passionate and hotly contested derby matches in the country. Unique Client Solutions are split pretty much down the middle when it comes to team supporters and Monday morning was going to be glorious in the office for the winning team!

After weeks of anticipation and nerves, the competition came to a head this weekend when Sheffield Wednesday shocked Unique Client Solutions as they beat Sheffield United 1-0 in a fierce match which started at 1pm. The tickets for the big game sold out quicker than some fans anticipated, although former Owls manager Jack Charlton managed to get a ticket and was among the faces in the crowd that watched the blues’ victory.

Unfortunately trouble was inevitable but handful of arrests did little to affect the atmosphere on Sunday. 350 police officers took to the streets of Hillsborough and Sheffield City Centre to keep the crowds in order in the biggest operation for South Yorkshire police this year. Only 9 arrests were made yesterday before 5.30pm for minor assault and public order. “Unique Client Solutions enjoy the thriving atmosphere football matches bring to the Steel City, but it is a shame that there has to be trouble on the day. As much as there is rivalry between fans of the two teams, the game brings both sets of supporters together to enjoy the sport,” said an associate at Unique Client Solutions.

Sheffield United have led the series of league encounters since 1951 which meant Blade fans were disappointed on Sunday, they said their team played well in the first half, but failed to impress in the second. Fortunately for both teams the opportunity to compete comes round every year! Congratulations to Sheffield Wednesday from everyone at Unique Client Solutions…well nearly everyone!
