Recruitment Consultant within the technology sector
Harvey Nash Recruitment Consultancy
01.2022 - 06.2022
- I was brought in on a 6 month contract to provide support for the existing Recruitment Consultants at Harvey Nash as they were going through a transitional period in regards to staff
- Hitting targets in terms of contact with potential recruits was an integral part of the role, this included a minimum hours of calls per day, contacting potential recruits via email and other recruiter platforms
- Meeting targets was done with regular contact with management and team meetings
- Being able to learn and adapt in this role was extremely important due to having not had any previous experience in this industry or sector, having to be able to understand the terminology of the Technology and IT industry in order to give potential recruits the inside and understanding of the role they were being approached for
- Candidate matching was part of the day to day process, being able to understand the role our client was looking to fill, being able to identify candidates from their profile information and previous experience
- We used a number of recruiter tools to help find potential candidates including LinkedIn recruiter
- It was important to have previous knowledge on how to speak to all different ranges of people in a respectful, professional manner and to make them feel comfortable whilst still providing all the relevant details
- Time management and organisation was vital in being able to provide a high standard of work on a daily basis, with multiple jobs on at the same time, without paperwork being kept to a high standard it would have been difficult to keep to all of your deadlines which can range from days to weeks
- Working in a team and providing support to fellow colleagues was important in this role
- That included potentially spending an afternoon helping a colleague try to find candidates or helping them complete paperwork
- I believe teamwork and being able to work as part of a team is integral in creating a positive environment
- I was able to place numerous candidates in roles with clients within Glasgow, this felt like an achievement with having no previous experience in recruiting.
Client Advisor Within the Oil & Gas Sector
Marsh Commercial
09.2018 - 09.2021
- Dealing with client interaction on a regular basis, in this job role it was essential that you maintained an excellent repour with your clients, this ranged from a vast amount of different people from all over the world
- Communication with your clients ranged from email, telephone and face to face meetings
- It was imperative that you managed to gain new business through your communication skills with potential clients
- Organisational Skills, due to having your own book of business that you were solely responsible for, it was vital that you had everything perfectly organised so you could work through each client efficiently
- For example, we had to organise the insurers bordereau for the end of the month
- Working in a team, just like every office environment you had to be able to work well in a team, this ranged from helping other colleagues if they had an extensive workload to just being there to answer any general queries they had, without teamwork it is not possible to complete tasks to the highest standards
- Presentation skills, in this job role we worked closely with many different insurers, they would require regular updates on the performance of their scheme, I would provide this via a presentation which would be delivered to them every few months
- I also attended business conventions and represented the Marsh brand in order to try gain new business
- IT Skills, I worked with all types of Microsoft software and feel extremely comfortable in using them
- Working in a high paced environment, due to the ever-changing demands of clients within this sector it was vital that you could think quickly to solve any problems that came your way, whilst still getting the best possible deal for that individual
- Being able to adjust to situations, working from home provided many challenges within the industry, through technical challenges but ultimately everyone was able to adjust and make it work successfully with no loss of business.
