Demand in the used market is creating a need for more staff in car finance, as provider Zuto looks to hire 100 new staff.
Since January 2021, Manchester based car finance company Zuto has hired over 150 new employees. With interest in the second-hand car market soaring vs pre-pandemic levels, Zuto plan to hire a further 100 by the end of the year to meet growing demand.
The new hires are based in their Manchester and Macclesfield offices.
Zuto also launched their sales graduate programme this year and are proud to have recruited 35 graduates so far in 2021 with plans to hire more throughout the rest of this year.
Andrew Fisher, head of recruitment at Zuto said: “The recruitment market in the North West is the most competitive I’ve known it. Launching our sales graduate programme has helped us navigate those challenges and continue to grow our team with talented, ambitious individuals.
“With over 60% of our management team being promoted within, training and development has always been at the forefront of what we do. Investing even more in this area allows us to be confident in ramping up our graduate programme.”
James Wilkinson, CEO of Zuto said: “It has been an exciting year for Zuto and we are really happy to welcome all our new Zutonites to the business, particularly our graduates, many of whom are taking their first step into the professional world. We are excited to continue hiring great talent in the North West to really help us accelerate our growth, and look forward to celebrating many more milestones.”
