I set up a new desk working 3 days a week. Building a network of qualified and employed professionals within the insurance sector, mid to c level, they were salaried £50,000 to £120,000. As most of the hiring managers were heads of department, CTO’s or CFO’s I would really need to stretch my understanding of the company and specific roles in order to develop a good rapport and I suppose stand out from other consultants and not just registering a new job. I would discuss business models, the ever changing insurance market, new mergers & acquisitions does of course open up new opportunities for business so it was always important to maintain the relationships.

Unfortunately I only made a few placements during my time at Conduct & Prudential. Of course covid-19 had a huge impact on the business and unfortunately the business owner decided to liquidate the business.

Prior to Covid I would average 3 new clients a month with signed P.S.L’s. I was targeted on 12 client meetings a month in London.

• Established trusted partnerships with key industry influencers, expanding the company''s network of resources and contacts.
• Managed multiple deadlines across several businesses to meet dynamic needs of multiple clients.
• Maintained overall safe work environment with employee training programs and enforcement of safety procedures.
• Renegotiated outsourcing contracts to save considerable costs.

I ran the Primary Education desk focusing on the London areas and the surrounding Home Counties, recruiting for all levels of qualified teachers, from trainees through to Headship. The most important thing is to be able to adapt to different people and just to be able to converse with them and relay my personality and of course keep a conversation going and get everything I need in terms of developing relationships. I would average 5 new clients a quarter.
