Vauxhall has been certified as one of Britain’s Top Employers 2011 by the Corporate Research Foundation Institute. It comes as no surprise to the people at Vauxhall who already know it’s a great place to work.
The key to being a top employer is offering career opportunities. Take Managing Director Duncan Aldred: “I joined Vauxhall straight from Liverpool Poly and 18 years later I’m the MD.”
As Vauxhall HR Director Phil Millward explains, “We want to be the best, and for that we need to attract and retain the best people. We’re not going to do that unless we reward, engage, enthuse and empower them, and make them feel that they own this business as much as Duncan and I do.”
Recruitment scam warning
Some people have reported receiving job offers that falsely claim to come from Vauxhall Motors. These fraudulent offers usually come in unsolicited emails that ask for personal information or even money in exchange for processing a job application.
We are currently working to prevent this illegal activity. Meanwhile, please ensure all personal information – such as your address, CV, passport number and bank details – is kept strictly confidential.
We will never make employment offers through unsolicited emails or ask for money as part of the application process. If you receive a suspicious email, don’t reply – instead contact careers@vauxhall.co.uk and we’ll confirm if the email is genuine.
