Apprentice star brings talent search to Watford
Former Apprentice Winner Lee McQueen and his company Raw Talent Academy have teamed up with a nationwide recruitment organisation, the McGinley Group, to search for some of the brightest new talent for their Head Office in Watford and other branches in the South East & London.
The deal with the McGinley Group will see ten new trainee recruitment consultants hired and is expected to generate a large number of applicants during a time of record unemployment across the UK. Each candidate will go through an extensive audition process by participating in a series of business tasks and team building challenges in front of a panel of senior management staff from the McGinley Group. Raw Talent Academy will look to bring around 30 of the top candidates to the audition day to be held at Vicarage Road Stadium on the 9th March.
Raw Talent Academy Director and former winner of The Apprentice Lee McQueen announced the initiative and said, “We are delighted to have been chosen as the recruitment partner for the McGinley Group in helping them source new talent for their business growth throughout 2012.
“This project is hugely important to me. In many ways Watford is my old stomping ground, I was born not far away and spent a lot of time in Watford growing up. It is a great opportunity for me to give something back. With unemployment and the economy the way it is this is a great opportunity for top quality individuals with the raw attributes and drive and passion to succeed to start a career with a great Watford based organisation. The candidates do not need a degree or A’s and A stars all over their CV, just the right attitude and will to succeed.
“The Raw Talent Academy process allows the McGinley Group to take a look at prospective employees through business tasks and real life situations as opposed to judging candidates purely on their CV’s. With the academy tasks designed specifically to suit the McGinley Group and their criteria for future employees it allows them to see first-hand what the candidates can do, both individually and when part of a team.”
One of the McGinley Group's Managing Director's Colm McGinley says “We are constantly expanding into new areas and are always looking to bring in young, hungry employees that are willing to build long term careers with us. This is a great opportunity for us to provide ambitious local people with intensive training, ultimately giving them access to a dynamic, competitive environment in which they can develop and grow with our fast growing company.”
Prospective academy candidates can use the online application form www.rawtalentacademy.com/join-academy
or email their CV to: candidates@rawtalentacademy.com with The McGinley Group Watford as the email subject. Applications must be submitted before

LUXURY MUD WEEKEND
It is widely acknowledged that the properties of mud are beneficial and Luton Hoo hotel is taking this at its worth by introducing a new package combining the great outdoors with indulgent pampering. The Luxury Mud Weekend encourages participants to get their hands dirty and enjoy all that mud has to offer.
Over 1,000 acres of private parkland, nature trails, lakes and woodland provide the perfect opportunity to don wellington boots and get muddy. There is also the opportunity to try clay pigeon shooting or put a Land Rover to the test on Luton Hoo’s extensive estate.
Mud has been used as a relaxation and beauty tool since ancient times and its soothing, natural properties are known to be beneficial to all skin types. A luxurious mud body polish treatment and wrap at Luton Hoo’s Spa is therefore an ideal way to wind down after outdoor excursions.
The indulgence doesn’t end there – spa treatments are followed by a traditional afternoon tea in one of the hotel’s (mud-free!) period lounges, consisting of cakes and scones cemented together with clotted cream and jam.
The Luxury Mud Weekend includes one nights’ accommodation, breakfast, dinner in the Wernher Restaurant, a spa treatment, clay pigeon shooting, afternoon tea, cocktail and complimentary chocolates. Prices start at £367.00 per person sharing a twin/double room. The Land Rover Experience costs £200 extra.
