We hope 2022 is off to a strong start for you guys. And if not, here’s the little boost you may need! The new year hype is still fresh, not just for you jobseekers out there, but also for employers! January and February are the hottest months of the year for recruitment, when hiring managers have just unlocked their budgets for the year.
With that, here are 5 brands that are well-managed workplaces, are keen to recruit, have lots of roles available across the UK (including Scotland, Wales and Ireland) and could hire you by Valentine’s Day!

3. Paddy Power
If you’re looking for the weird, the wacky, the fun and the downright hilarious… you couldn’t find better than Paddy Power!
Interests you might have prior to working here are sports or betting, but trust us, it’s not a necessity to know much about either. What’s more important is that you enjoy talking to people and you’re willing to learn what a ‘corner’ in football is along the way.
Some days it might be quiet, with only the regulars. Other days, the store is bright and buzzing!
And you can definitely expect some, err, interesting activities taking place around events such as the Grand Nationals (strange costumes and props may or may not be involved.)
Paddy Power are committed to their people, including being understanding of mental health, offering secondment opportunities and their in-this-together team culture.

O2 pride themselves on doing retail differently. That’s why you’ll always feel helped out after leaving an O2 store. And on the other side of that is someone who combines their skills to give useful information whilst bringing life to the experience.
Sound like your style?
You can expect fantastic induction and training when you start at O2, as well as career progression, great people policies and their BeBrilliant recognition scheme! It celebrates teamwork, top performance and gives you the pick of the prize – from holidays to gifts and gadgets.
