What does an average day look like on a busy North West recruitment desk?
That’s what we asked our Associate Director, Joanne Sizer, who revealed what a day in her life at Recruitment Solutions looks like…
- 8AM
I arrive in work get settled into my desk and emails with a brew - 8.30AM
I’ll begin to work through the overnight applications we received across all jobs, contacting the Candidates who look a good match for the roles we have - 9.15AM
Our team meeting. We run through the interview schedule for the day, check our live jobs and plan the day ahead - 10AM
Work on job management across all roles, as well as make any Client calls and help our Candidates with any questions or issues - 10.30AM – 12PM
We work on searches across our jobs using our in-house system, as well as external sites such as Reed, Total and CV Library - 12PM – 2PM
Usually reserved for call backs. People are generally on lunch over this time so it is a busy period for getting hold of Candidates - 2PM – 3PM
Our Power Hour; we switch up to something different, which could be business development, revenue protection calling, pre-start checks or contacting ‘HOT’ Candidates - 3PM – 4.30PM
We use this as block-time for job admin. This could be updating jobs, checking in on Candidates or managing my campaigns as a whole - 4.30PM – 5.30PM
Re-visit the Candidates from today – again this is a busy time for getting hold of people once they finish work - 5.30PM
I’ll leave the office and go and pick my little girl up from nursery!
