About Karen Kennard

Whilst working as a marketing consultant to small businesses I realised that one of the difficulties that many small businesses often face is recruiting the right people with the right skills, as they need them, without necessarily having to pay a full time salary or large fees to recruitment agencies. As a mother of two young children I began to think that there must be some area of mutual interest between those companies who could often use some professional expertise but can't afford to take on full time staff, and the vast pool of talent among mothers who are looking for part time jobs or want to work on a more flexible basis. Flexible Skills Bank offers a unique way to recruit staff, specifically tailored to the more flexible needs of small businesses.The concept is simple. It is designed especially to enable small businesses to recruit flexible, part time or freelance staff with no costs up front, no commission and complete flexibility.
