Hays Accountancy & Finance, the leading recruiting expert, has signed an exclusive partnership with the Institute of Credit Management (ICM) to provide members with an enhanced, dedicated recruitment service. Complementing its existing strategic partnership to provide recruitment services outside of ICM's core scope, as a Corporate Partner Hays will offer members additional priority services.

ICM members will continue to benefit from Hays' regional network of offices and access to the latest job opportunities. As Corporate Partner, Hays will also offer members a priority service, which will include essential information in an annual salary guide, careers advice from expert recruiters and Hays will host exclusive national and regional networking events, which will include speakers such as ICM's Chief Executive, Philip King. As part of the partnership Hays has also confirmed that it will be a sponsor of the ICM regional roadshows and the ICM Awards.

ICMos previously worked with Hays to develop an online skills test, which already forms part of every candidate's screening and registration process when they register with Hays. It provides employers with extra information about jobseekers and additional insight into how well suited a candidate is to a role, thereby giving employers added confidence that they are recruiting the best candidate.

Ceinwen Wilson (née Walker), Credit Control Business Director at Hays, comments: "This exclusive partnership demonstrates our commitment to the industry, allowing us to continue to meet the complex needs of credit control professionals. As a Corporate Partner, we look forward to working even more closely with ICM and offering members a priority service so they have access to essential information which will help them progress their careers."

Philip King, Chief Executive at ICM, adds: "Employers value the skills provided by professional bodies and it is appropriate therefore that we team with the market leaders who are best placed to service that need. Our partnership with Hays continues to evolve so that we can better meet the needs of our members, providing them with access to the latest opportunities and exclusive, priority services."
