Zeynep Turudi, founder of Truede wanted to bring this delicacy to the UK: ‘With Turkish roots, my parents always brought back real Turkish Delight to the UK to give to all our friends and neighbours.
I decided to research the UK market to see if there was a gap in the market for a quality Turkish Delight brand, which of course there was.’ We use authentic recipes, some of which date back over 500 years. These recipes also have the benefit of being made from natural ingredients.
The perfect candidate is more than just their degree or work experience, it’s the skills they have developed over time, their ability to work within a team and how their personality fits in their chosen working environment. That’s why with Employin5, we bring all these elements together in order to match candidates with employers in just 5 minutes.
