How did you become interested in recruitment?
After coming home from the States, I was guiding other young athletes through the process of getting a scholarship and talking to different universities and it had similarities to recruitment. I realised that I could do something similar and make more money.
What was it about Sellick Partnership that convinced you to take a role here?
After speaking with the team during the interview process it seemed like a no brainer. I got a real understanding of how much they were all invested in the business and the amount of opportunity that is available here is massive. Everyone wants you to do well and progress as much as possible.
Do you remember placing your first candidate and how did that feel?
I remember my first permanent placement. It is a great feeling when they say yes because of the amount of time you spend going through the process with each candidate. The first thing I did after was double check the fee, knowing I would be taking home a portion of the fee as commission was a real morale boost.
What’s your biggest achievement to date in your role as a Recruitment Consultant?
Receiving the award for Newcomer of the year at our End of Financial Year Awards. This is an annual opportunity for Sellick Partnership to celebrate all the successes from the previous year.
