Recruitment & HR best practise


In recruitment every day is certainly different however a typical day could look like this; 

  • Team Meeting to discuss the day and week ahead, where you will get support from your colleagues and manager to assist you with running your desk.
  • Business Development  : New business and lead generation is an extremely important part of your role to grow your client base, this involves contacting potential new clients or past clients to promote our service and hopefully win their business.
  • Client meetings
  • Although gaining new business is essential, it’s just as important to nurture existing client relationships, involving regular updates and face-to-face meetings about their current and future requirements.
  • Candidate sourcing
  • To ensure you have a consistent supply of strong candidates to place on the graduate market.
  • Daily review

In addition you will have regular reviews and appraisals with your team, and one 2 ones with your manager, to help you to monitor your performance and monitor your development and training needs to ensure you meet your targets and are progressing within the role.

A career in recruitment will give you all of this and so much more, so when you think working in recruitment is just about sales, think again, and come and talk to us to find out how much more it can give you, and more importantly how you can put your hard earned degree to very good use in a credible, professionally accredited career.
