A Merry Covid Christmas
‘Twas the year of Corona and all across the world
Not a creature was stirring as a pandemic unfurled
Face masks were placed on our faces with care
We kept a safe distance and became more aware
The nation was anxious as the virus did spread
Whilst brave healthcare workers were filled with such dread
At Cordant we responded guidance clearly outlined
All of us worried with lots on our mind
We moved to remote working without any trouble
And met temp requests which rose over double
Furlough hit people still needing employ
So we offered great jobs which filled them with joy
Across the UK hygiene made people fuss
But we kept people moving by train and by bus
Covid deep cleans, were in high demand
But our cleaning experts, were always at hand
We recruited teams to support track and trace
Which for the NHS was a saving grace
We supported candidates, of all different kinds
Helping them find careers in uncertain times
Our security teams monitored new social norms
Safeguarding the people from old to new borns
Controlling the crowds, the public protected
We kept business running for any clients affected
With clients needing talent all skillful and slick.
We knew at that moment we had to act quick
More rapid than ever we sourced without shirking
IT experts a plenty for new virtual working
In Northern Ireland hiring busier than ever
Job seekers out searching for their next endeavour
With unemployment a worry support we bestowed
When we placed people in jobs the gratitude showed
In our European business the network did grow
With more jobs in the pipeline the pressure didn’t show
Taking the sector by storm was an amazing new team
In energy and construction we were living the dream
So as we get closer to the end of the year
We hope that this rhyme has filled you with cheer
It talks of successes and what we’ve achieved
How we made it through because we believed
To colleagues, and clients and candidates alike
You showed such resilience when Covid did strike
Enjoy a much deserved break positive change is in sight
Happy Christmas to all and to all a good-night!
Merry Christmas everybody
