A Short History Of Essex Recruitment

Living in Essex for the most part of my life, has made me realise that the prospect of finding work after graduating terribly difficult. Going out to your chosen establishment and handing over your CV is simply not enough to secure a position with them. The Essex recruitment rate has never changed, with some parts of Essex offering even fewer jobs than others. This is especially true for people within the legal sector, looking to work in a specific legal field (namely within the legal field).

When looking back in what Essex had to offer, studies will show that Essex was much more diverse in offering recruitment. This was mainly within the agricultural sector and raw materials manufacturing. The first jobs were in producing wool and manufacturing wool.
Essex recruitment derived from the wool industry, which was introduced by the Flemish in the early fourteenth century. Original settlers of Essex came from Bruges into Harwich, then later settling in Braintree, Halsted and Dedham. Without the Flemish introduction of the wool industry there was very little in terms of work within Essex.

They had also brought across with them the art of weaving in which they were encouraged to teach across the country. During the reign of Elizabeth I, there was a massive influx of Flemish settlers, further increasing the prospects of industry related recruitment. This was a strong industry bringing in income for many and introducing new skills for others. The clothing industry thrived within places such as Colchester, Braintree and Halsted. Many people including some 60,000 families were employed as weavers, spinners and combers.

The eighteenth century saw a slight decline as it is believed that the nationalisation of gunpowder and colonial influence took over. Gunpowder became the main source of recruitment in Essex as this was introduced during the early 1500s and was then later taken over in 1787. The production of gunpowder increased dramatically, offering over 1200 recruitment opportunities and producing large amounts of the required gunpowder.

However it was during 1900s that the railway took over the UK and changed the country as a whole. This was the birth of technological advancement in the world of transportation, making it possible to transport materials and necessary food. This helped the agricultural businesses were able to transport their produce across to the main cities, making more money than they would locally.

Essex had also become renowned for the production of crepe and silk, which attracted many of the rich and wealthy (including royalty) to purchase some of the finest robes and dresses in certain parts of the county. These towns included Braintree, Bocking, Earls Colne and Halstead. This increased the Essex recruitment rate, offering many more people work in tailoring, retail and trading.
