Love Your Recruiter Day

In a recent survey it was highlighted that 61% of hiring managers believe that recruiters don’t really understand the jobs they’re recruiting for.

We don’t believe that’s all there is to the recruiter/hiring manager story so over the past 3 weeks, we reached out to numerous hiring managers across the UK and asked what they thought of the recruiters they worked with. We wanted to figure out how hiring managers felt about the real people they partnered with vs. the abstract “recruiters” they talk about in the surveys.

As you may guess, the results didn’t disappoint. We were inundated with effusive messages of recognition, which showed sincere appreciation and pride in working together.

To celebrate recruiters we held Love Your Recruiter Day on July 16th in the UK and here are the top 10 stories received about recruiters! Read on to be inspired! #recruiterlove

James Price, rentalcars.com “If James wants you in…he WILL find you and he WILL recruit you. If things are not as straightforward as he would like, James enters what can only be called an undercover operation. He will stamp out the competition, razzle dazzle you with his master skills of persuasion and make sure you really have no doubt that you are making the right choice – a rare skill in a situation of change, uncertainty and career defining decisions.” #recruiterlove

Hannah Brown, British Transport Police “Recruitment in IT is difficult and boring but Hannah has been my recruiter for the past year and has been amazing! Hannah has definitely made recruitment fun whilst working hard to find the best possible candidates. I am confident that when I give Hannah a role fill, I don’t even have to give her any more details, she does all of the hard work so I don’t have to. Hannah is an absolute joy to be around and everyone in IT loves her. Hannah, you are the best!” #recruiterlove

Nicolas Lutter, Expedia

“Nicolas is a great recruiter and he is really easy to work with — excellent communication skills, very sociable and funny! He can work on 40 to 50 positions at the time and he still has time for meetings! You rock Nico!”

James Scottwood, Hiscox Insurance “James recruited nearly 150 customer-obsessed superstars with minimal agency support by developing an “Awesome” campaign where cards were handed out to anyone in the local area who delivered outstanding service.

Brilliant campaign, brilliant results, brilliant recruits.”

Hazel Shaw, Oasis Fashion “We love Hazel. She’s always so helpful and keen to support the teams fill their vacancies. She’s eager to try new and exciting methods to source candidates and has built some really great relationships with various educational establishments over the last 12 months. The caliber of the candidates she sources are great and perfect for our brand.”

Casey Amend, Fisher Investments ‘She was exceptional when she hired me. I was looking for a company in which I could use my skills and have a long term vision, and Casey really made me want to work for the company I now work for. She is passionate and driven. She highly deserves to be rewarded for such a fabulous personality.’

Charlotte Bridgeman, Betfair ‘She has systematically transformed the way we work in recruitment. Removing the obstacles and making the process much more focused on what we need as a business. She is very engaging and has improved our time to hire dramatically.

She has been able to bridge the gap between technology and talent acquisition in a matter of weeks. Charlotte is a real character and quite mad, but then again we all are at Betfair!’

Patricia Hiley, Premier Farnell She if amazing from every point of view: from how personable and friendly she is all the way to her knowledge, expertise and skills. While I was going through the assessment, Trisha made me feel comfortable, valued and I feel we made a very strong connection which makes that session stand out from all the previous ones and think of that day very fondly. Here I am three years later working for the same organisation with no intention or even a thought to leave it and remain very grateful for that day, for this job and for all the wonderful people I met since then. All because of the chance given by Trisha!’

Kristy Nickels, Christie’s Care ‘What makes her remarkable and a valued member of our team is her warmth, empathy, and ability to find great carers and support them as they undertake their induction training and find their feet within the company.

Kristy's helpful manner and dedication to her job, and our company, means that she often goes above and beyond the normal confines of recruitment to support the carers and ensure a smooth transition into our business.’

The team even highlighted her on their website: https://lnkd.in/ejWGDUX
