Jarred Consulting Ltd

Four lessons from a recruitment pro. Whichever side of the virtual desk you’re on, recruitment expert Sam Glendinning (with a list of previous clients including Unilever, HSBC and HMRC) has four pieces of advice just for you: 👉 Believe in yourself because it’s infectious. By relying on your past experience and being willing to try new things, you’ll get the job done and encourage others too. 👉Technology will fail. Acknowledge that this will happen, keep asking questions until you find the solution and do your best to draw everyone together. 👉Get to work quickly. Assimilate what’s immediately needed so that you can adapt rapidly and relate it to the wisdom you already have. 👉Leave everyone in a better place than when you found them. ‘Sometimes I’m meant to check in once a month but I’ll talk to the client every day if they need it’, Sam says. Become part of the team and you’ll be remembered.

How do you keep the recruitment assessment process human-focused? We spoke to new Jarred Associate and expert Samantha Glendinning about how to get the balance right. ‘For the big players, it’s about numbers and process’ she says. ‘but you might also interview twelve people for a particular high-profile position and you won’t know immediately who got the job. The responsibility is huge but rewarding. The bottom line is that the client needs exactly the right person. That’s what I’m there for.’ Unsurprisingly, her experience in recruitment outsourcing has led her on a coaching journey. Working with people like Bootcamp graduates fresh from university, established but interview-rusty professionals and even school children, it’s about building confidence, enhancing techniques and tightening CV skills. ‘Everyone is so different with differing levels of confidence,’ she states, ‘but when they get the job and they email me, it’s everything. At heart, I’m a people person so building relationships and seeing people succeed is what matters.’ We love her approach. #recruitment #coaching #recruitmentconsultant #rewarding #personaltouch #humanfocused #human #people #recruitmentassessmentmethods #interviews #rewarding #rewardingcareers

What’s one of the most important skills in a recruitment consultant’s toolkit? Rapid adaptation. This is according to recruitment expert and new Jarred Associate Samantha Glendinning. We spoke to her to find out more. With Unilever, HSBC and HMRC on her list of high-profile clients, Sam has learned to think on her feet. ‘Sometimes we’re implementing a system that’s only just been approved.’ she says. A part of the team from day one, she’s the voice of encouragement and confidence needed at such times. ‘I show that I believe in them,’ she continues, ‘and we get through it together.’ This is reflected in what she leaves behind. ‘Even though I’m brought in as a contractor, I try to also develop the people I work with.’ she says. As a result, she often finds herself asked to come back to work time and time again on other projects. Sam states that the key to success is moving quickly into the client’s arena. Whether working on mass recruitment or leading workshops, she inspires others to test new things and move out of their comfort zone. Her part in the process may involve everything from complete oversight, investigative reports and assessing, to role plays and interviewing. This involves a huge range of skills and an ability to go with the flow. ‘It’s important to be flexible and open to what’s next.’ she says. What are your recruitment concerns at the moment and do you need someone like Sam on your side? We’re big on conversations here at Jarred and we have a wide team of specialists ready to help – including Sam. Simply message us and we’ll organise a chat.

In this weeks Breakfast Bite we talk to our recruitment expert and new Jarred associate Samantha Glendinning to our team.

One of the great things about spending time with people outside of the places where you normally see them is that it opens new opportunities for conversation, exchange of ideas and getting to know someone as a whole person. You get to know the capabilities and vulnerabilities of everyone around you (as well as your own) and how these mesh together to form a bigger picture. Nearing the starting line of the Thames Path Challenge tomorrow means we’re nearly at the end of our training journey. I love the opportunity this has given me to spend some time with all the people who have joined me for training walks, from friends and relations, to nurses and other staff at Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and Wellbeing Care. We’ve fought through the aches and pains, exhaustion and injuries while walking coastlines and countryside. Not even rain has stopped us. We’ve been shooting the breeze while the breeze was literally shooting past our ears. And I have loved this😍 If you’ve not had a chance to sponsor our 24-hour, 100k challenge, there’s still a chance. Please follow the link in the comments and give whatever you can.

Hi, it’s Kerry again. I’ve seen lots of promotions for autumn walks for charity recently and why not? With cooler temperatures and vivid colours to see, there’s no better time to go the extra mile for a cause close to your heart. This is a gentle nudge to head over to my JustGiving page to support my 24 trek for Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and Wellbeing Care. I’m joining a band of nurses and other team members on a 100k walk along the Thames path. Simply because the £9m we need to provide for people in the most testing times of their lives would not be there without fundraising and voluntary income. So if you can, please show your support by clicking the link below. Thanks, Kerry. #charity #autumnwalk #fundraising #goodcauses #doinggood #community #communities #communitycare #hospice #woking #surrey #lightwater #egham #horsell

Hi I’m Kerry Jarred, founder of Jarred Consulting and this post is a little different as it’s a personal note from me. I want to tell you about how I’m joining a fabulous group of clinical nurses and other employees at Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and Wellbeing Care to walk 100km continuously, through the night to raise vital funds for our hospice. We expect to be on our feet for about 24 hours, starting at 7am on Saturday 14th September. As a Trustee for the Hospice, I know first-hand how important our work is for the communities we support. Time and time again, many individuals and their families are enveloped by our hospice hearts, and are impeccably cared for during their most testing days. Our care is holistic because the illness and death of someone you love can have a profound and lasting impact. We are here to provide family, friends and carers with support, comfort and advice at every stage of your loved one’s illness and after their death. We rely on the compassion and generosity of caring people like you to enable us to provide specialist palliative support at no cost to our patients or their families. Only a small percentage of our funding comes from the government, and therefore we rely heavily on voluntary income to raise the £9 million needed every year to provide our services. It is a sad certainty that one day you or someone you know may need to call upon hospice care. We are living through tough economic times, and as a charity need your support now more than ever to help us, to continue to help others. #challenge #walkingchallenge #charity #charitywalk #fundraising #hospicecare #hospice #walking #walk #friendship #community #giving #justgiving #donate #care Tammy Stracey Katie Doyle Kerry Jarred

This weeks Breakfast Bite is a little different, a a personal one from Kerry Jarred

Is diversity old hat in the legal profession? Has it gone too far? ‘Now is more important than ever to be focused on diversity, inclusion and equity and we can’t lose momentum on this.’ The words of expert Chris White of leading diversity platform Aspiring Solicitors. Whether you work in the legal profession or not, this is an important sentiment with wide-reaching importance across all sectors. It’s about the less obvious, more systematic mechanisms at play that we need to be aware of and overturn where we can. Like Chris, we can be part of direct and indirect action to ensure the next generation of professionals and leaders represent the diversity of our world.
