INishative & Co

🗣️ “Do you have any questions?” Most interviews will end with this question. ❓ It’s a crucial moment. Instead of just saying “no”, think of this as your chance to shine! ✨🌟💫✨ Asking questions isn’t just a formality; it shows you’re genuinely interested in the role and it allows you to assess if the company is the right fit for you. Here’s why you should grab this opportunity: 👀 Engagement: Thoughtful questions highlight your enthusiasm and curiosity about the role and the organisation. ✅ Clarify expectations: Gain insight into daily responsibilities, team dynamics, and company culture to ensure alignment with your goals. 💭 Critical thinking: Asking insightful questions showcases your analytical skills and thought process. 📝 Gather information: This is your chance to obtain information not covered during the interview, helping you make an informed decision. 🤝 Build rapport: Engaging with the interviewer creates a connection, leaving a positive impression. If you are a little stuck on what questions to ask, here are a few: - What does a typical day look like in this role? - How do you measure success for this position? - Who would I be reporting to? - What are some challenges the team is currently facing? - How does the company support professional development and career growth? - How do you foster diversity and inclusion within the team and across the organisation? - What are the next steps in the hiring process, and when can I expect to hear back? Remember, asking questions at the end of an interview isn’t just about gathering information; it’s your moment to make a lasting impression and ensure that both you and the employer are a good fit. So, when they ask, “Do you have any questions?” be ready to engage and show them what you’ve got! 💪 INishative & Co #jobinterview #careeradvice #professionaldevelopment #jobsearch #askquestions #interviewtips

This time last year, NISHA PUREWAL and I were preparing for the launch of our company, INishative & Co 🎉 One of the first things we focused on when creating the company was... the company name. Choosing a name was one of the most important tasks. Why? 🤷🏽♀️ A company name represents your brand's identity. So yes, it’s crucial. My advice is: don’t rush it. If you’re anything like me, you might fall in love with a name for about 20 minutes before finding another one you like even more🫣😅 We knew we needed to be sure. That’s when we came up with INishative & Co. The most common reactions we get to the name are: 🗣️ “Wow, that’s very clever!” 
🗣️ “Oh, I see what you did there - I like it!” 
Or I often hear… 🗣️ “Okay, so are you ‘the co’?” - meaning me! For anyone who doesn’t know, our founder is called NISHA. The name INishative blends “initiative” with “Nisha,” highlighting Nisha’s vision while conveying a sense of action and purpose. It embodies our commitment to innovation and proactive solutions in recruitment. 💡 This unique spelling makes the name memorable, helps it stand out as different, and most importantly, represents our company and what we set out to do. So, if you’re in the process of starting a business or thinking about it, remember that a name is not just a label - it’s your brand’s first impression! Here are a few tips for creating a company name: 1️⃣ Be unique: Avoid generic names; you want to stand out in the market. 2️⃣ Reflect your mission: Your name should convey what your business is about. 3️⃣ Keep it simple: A name that’s easy to pronounce will be more memorable. 4️⃣ Test it out: Share potential names with others to gauge their reactions and understanding. Putting thought into your name can really shape your brand and set the stage for your journey✨ #entrepreneurship #branding #inishativeco #startups #businessname #brandidentity #innovation #creativity #smallbusiness #businessgrowth #founder #marketing #success #inspiration

👀 Reasons why you should NOT move to Dubai… 🇦🇪 🌞 The weather. Who would enjoy year-round sunshine and warm winters? Sounds dreadful, right? 💰 Tax-free income. Keeping all your hard-earned money? That's just too much responsibility, honestly. 🍽️ Access to world-class restaurants. Why have endless options, from Michelin-starred dining to authentic street food, when you can stick to your usual takeout? 🤝 Connecting with amazing, driven people. Networking with top talent and innovative minds from around the world? Sounds exhausting. 🛥️ Weekend activities. The world’s biggest mall, desert safaris, yacht trips... who needs excitement on their days off? 🌍 Proximity to other countries. A major airport hub with quick access to Europe, Asia, and Africa? Who’d want the temptation of frequent travel? 🚶🏽♀️ Safety. One of the safest cities in the world? Who needs peace of mind like that? Hmmm, why would anyone want ALL of this?! 🤔😏 Wait, you do?

Has someone ever taken a chance on you? 👩🏽💼 A few years ago, I was hiring for a role within my team. One candidate didn’t tick every box on the job role, but something about their attitude and enthusiasm stood out 🤝 They were upfront about what they didn’t know but eager to learn. ✅ I decided to take a chance and hire them. Within months, they not only caught up on the skills and areas they needed more support on but also brought fresh ideas and a new perspective to the team 💡 Their willingness to grow made them one of the top performers. 📈 This experience taught me a valuable lesson: it’s not always about finding someone who’s perfectly qualified from day one. Sometimes, it's about hiring people who have the drive and potential to learn. 📄 Next time you hesitate to offer someone an opportunity just because they don’t meet every requirement… remember that skills can be taught, but passion and a desire to grow are much rarer. If they’re eager to learn, they might just exceed your expectations! ✨ INishative & Co #recruitment #recruit #teambuilding #training #skills #growth

📍Today we are heading to Sheffield 🌞 One of the things I absolutely love about working in recruitment and running my own business is the travel 🚗 🌍 ✈️ Whether it’s a short trip locally or an international journey, the excitement of meeting new clients and exploring different places never fades. Although I’ve visited Sheffield a few times during my university days, I haven’t been back since, so I’m looking forward to returning for today’s client meeting. It’s always great to rediscover a city from a new perspective! NISHA PUREWAL | INishative & Co #recruitment #clientmeeting #visit #business #familybusiness #travel #sheffield #uk

I always love hearing about people's journeys. How did you get into the industry or role you're in today?
Did you always want to do what you're doing now? As for me... well, my path wasn't straightforward. Did I always dream of being in Recruitment or owning a business? 
Not even close!🤣 👶🏽 In fact, if you’d asked me as a kid, I'd probably have said I wanted to be an… 🎭 Actress 🎤 Singer 👩🏽🍳 Chef But life has a funny way of guiding us to where we’re meant to be. Let me walk you through my employment journey: 🎂 Age 16: Just two days after my birthday, I took my first leap into the working world as a Sales Assistant at Next and it wasn’t just any regular day… it was the start of their massive summer sale! Talk about jumping in the deep end! 😅 But I loved the fast pace and stayed through my A-levels, undergrad, and even my master’s degree! 📈 Age 20: Fast forward to my third year of university, and I was promoted to a Manager at Next! Balancing university and management was intense, but it gave me the hunger to keep learning. With no clear career path in mind, I decided to pursue a Master’s in Marketing. 👩🏽💻 Age 22: Just after finishing my Master’s, Covid hit, and the job market changed overnight. Instead of a grad scheme, I jumped into the family business: Recruitment! I started as a Resourcer, learning the ropes and applying my marketing skills to help out. 🚀 Age 23: This was the real turning point! I fully transitioned into a Recruitment Consultant role, left retail behind, and discovered a passion for Recruitment. I started to see how my studies could actually drive our business growth. Lightbulb moment 💡 🏆 Age 24-25: Our company secured a major contract to manage internal Recruitment for a client. My role as Recruitment Consultant evolved, and eventually, I became a Recruitment and Vetting Manager. This was when I realised I wanted to take things further. ✨ Age 26: My mum and I made a bold move - we launched our very own Recruitment agency together, INishative & Co! Our mission? To make recruitment more personal and people-focused. 🌍 Age 27: And here we are today! We're nearly celebrating the one-year anniversary of INishative & Co UK, and guess what? We've also expanded into the UAE! Growing the team and the business on an international level - who would’ve thought? 🇬🇧🇦🇪 
Did I expect any of this? Nope😅 Some might say I "wasted" years studying, but I disagree. Every single step, whether it was managing a retail team or studying for my degree, shaped who I am today. It all taught me skills I use as a business owner every single day. Life has a way of surprising you, doesn’t it? 🪄 The unexpected twists are where the real magic happens. #story #employment #university #business #journey #growth #goals #industy #role #recruitment #businessowner

🗣️ “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” … so make it count! ✨ 👀 I was taught this from an early age and still live by it now. First impressions are everything. Whether it's in a job interview, meeting a new client, or networking, the way you present yourself in those initial moments often sets the tone for what's to come. In today’s fast-paced world, people form opinions very quickly. 🤝 A firm handshake, active listening, and a confident introduction can make all the difference. Remember, it’s not just about showing your qualifications; it’s about showing up with authenticity and enthusiasm! 🙌🏽 #monday #networking #business #introduction
