Specialist recruiter in the Human Resources sector | 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐑 📲

Since starting in recruitment, I have always been reminded that I'm a 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭. But what does that mean? I recently had a call with a new client who came to us 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐑 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐇𝐑 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫. After understanding the 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 and what the candidate will have to do in the role, I 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 them that they would be better with a HR Coordinator. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐝 4 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 4 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. The feedback from the client was that e𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞. This to me highlights the benefit of being a consultant and also being a specialist in the HR space. If we 𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 they are facing we may haven't have found the right candidate for this role. This year, with the changes in government and policies, has caused HR teams to face periods of stress and high workloads. If you are a 𝐇𝐑 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 or 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫, how have you navigated this year? And how do you seeing next year for yourselves? #HR #HumanResources #HRmanager #HRrecruitment
