What a great day spent at The 6th Form College Farnborough today meeting with students looking for their 1st career move, I spoke with lots of engaging and driven individuals just wanting to know how and why recruitment is a good career option
I explained.....
What we do on a day to day basis
💚 Building both client and candidate relationships - finding the best solution for both parties
💚 Business development - working with hiring managers on their recruitment strategy and needs
💚 Managing the process from resourcing through to placement including screening calls & interview preparation
💚 Aftercare for both client and candidate - developing the company reputation
The skills you need to make it in #recruitment
💚 Communication skills including being an active listener, understanding the needs of both client and candidate
💚 Organisational skills, its a fast paced environment so being able to prioritise and organise tasks is essential
💚 Negotiation/Sales skills, having the ability to showcase why you are special and why people should choose to work with you in a competitive market
What to do next
💚 Create a good #linkedinprofile - I was amazed at how few of the students I spoke to had created a LinkedIn profile. I gave them the advice to get this set up, start connecting with potential employers/managers, follow companies that interest you, apply for jobs and most importantly start documenting their skills/work experience
