What it is and how it works

In a nutshell, our recommend a friend scheme is a bonus scheme encouraging ARM staff to help us find high quality employees who will fit in well with our culture and be a benefit to our organization.

£1,000 is available to employees of ARM whose recommendation leads to the successful appointment of a new member of staff. (There are a few terms and conditions, but they are neither very restricting, nor intended to put people off, nor to deny people the chance to participate).

Good employees are our most valuable resource, and as we trust our staff and know that they believe in the ARM brand, we feel they can be some of our best “in-house” talent scouts when it comes to identifying new staff from amongst their friends, former colleagues or other acquaintances. We reward them accordingly.

If you work for ARM (terms allowing) and make a recommendation that leads to somebody being successfully employed by us, we will pay you £500 after they complete their 6-month probation and another £500 after they complete their first year with us.

You do not need any length of service with ARM to qualify for this, because we acknowledge that new staff can and do open up new avenues of communication with new peer groups.

Who are we looking for? Who suits the business?

The qualities we look for in new recruits depend on the nature of the internal role for which we are recruiting - but we welcome people who will help to take our business forward, and who are determined to deliver a high standard of service.

A strong desire both to succeed in your role and deliver a very high level of professional service will always stand you in good stead at ARM.

Depending on the role, the below qualities are generally advantageous.

Drive and motivation

Self-motivated, driven and determined. Possessing a proactive work style, and willing to take the initiative. Enjoying a challenge, and able to thrive in an often hectic work environment.

Confidence and a positive attitude

We like people who enjoy a challenge and who always look for solutions. We actively encourage entrepreneurialism.

Tenacity

Our sales staff in particular need to be able to deal with setbacks, difficult situations and difficult people. Recruitment requires a great deal of persistence and tenacity, and a level of emotional control.

Team work and empathy

Our staff need to be good at relating to people. Teamwork, and the desire to help, is essential at ARM. Approachability, patience, and the ability both to listen and probe are important. You will need to be accommodating whilst strong enough to manage a challenging job role.

Adaptability

ARM staff need to multitask and switch quickly between the various demands of their role.

Organisation

In order to manage demanding workloads, we need to be structured and skilled at prioritising.

Conscientiousness

One of our key USPs is quality. We therefore need staff who are reliable, trustworthy, committed and honest, so that they help to maintain the ARM brand and also contribute fairly to our team effort.

Influence

Our recruitment staff in particular need to be persuasive. Lots of our support staff have both internal and external customers and many must also be able to exercise considerable influence, both within and outside the company.

ARM is committed to diversity and equal opportunities.
