Jarred Consulting Ltd

In the last few years, a change has been taking place in the way we inject new talent into the legal sector. The legal apprenticeship is on the rise. Success relies on attracting, engaging and retaining talent and we’re excited about how it offers fresh new opportunities for ambitious growth. 👉 There is greater scope for recruiting internally instead of externally – reducing costs and plugging skills gaps to facilitate optimal career frameworks. 👉 Encouraging lateral movement allows the employer to key into the employee’s existing and natural knowledge of the company, sector and clients. 👉 Having a wider social impact, the apprenticeship pathway lends itself to greater DEI accessing talent that they may not have otherwise been able to engage. 👉 It’s becoming the course of choice for many employers because they can recruit talent earlier, straight out of school with greater scope for developing their workforce in-house.

Apprenticeships in the legal sector – are they a good idea?   ❓ Are they a poor cousin to the traditional university route? ❓ How have they impacted the industry? ❓ What are the advantages and disadvantages?   Jarred Consulting Ltd founder Kerry Jarred spoke to Clare Grant, Commercial Director at legal training provider BPP to get the lowdown.   Read the roundup in the Jarred Think Tank this month. We’ve put a link in the comments.   #legalsector #legalsectornews #law #SQE #solicitorsqualifying #legalapprenticeship #careers #careersinlaw

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.
