This week we thought we’d give you a little sneak peek into a day in the life of a 2i Recruit Consultant!
To start off with it’s worth mentioning that recruitment is an incredibly competitive job; we don’t get paid for a job until we deliver. So it’s very important that we deliver the right, quality candidates within tight timescales.
8.15am
Arrive at the 2i Recruit office, download and look at all the CVs that candidates have submitted on the ‘Register your CV’ page on our website overnight. We also reply to all our emails leave messages for candidates and get them logged into our system.
9:00am
Wish our candidates who have job interviews later in the day good luck. It also gives our candidates the chance to ask any last minute questions and if they are nervous we can reassure them.
Every morning we have a team meeting in which our Branch Manager, Nikki, tells us what we need to do for the day. We are a really close-knit team and work very closely together.
9:30am
A couple of hours working on a job role; searching job boards and our database for suitable candidates. Clients are often looking for a very specific set of skills in a candidate so it can take some time to find clients for our shortlist. Once we have the shortlist we will then contact each one and leave a message.
11:30
Spend around an hour on business management and our client accounts. Here at 2i Recruit we like to speak to each of our clients at least once a month. We really like to nurture our client relationships to give the very best customer service we can.
12:15
A quick sandwich and a walk around Godalming to stretch our legs!
1:00pm
During the afternoon we take turns visiting new clients that have been recommended to us. We normally visit the client’s premises to get a feel for the company’s culture. It’s so important that we get to really know the company and what they are about so that we find candidates that are going to fit in and enjoy working there.
3:00pm
Arrive back at the office to gather feedback from candidates on how their interviews went during the day. We’ll also organise interviews for the next few days.
5:30pm
Now is the time when we’ll receive lots of calls from candidates as they finish work. We make sure we’re free at this time to concentrate on them and providing a great level of customer service for them.
6:00pm
Leave the office for the day, ready for tomorrow!
