I managed and built my portfolio of clients and source quality candidates to fill vacancies, ranging from general Office Administrators to Executive PA's, Customer Service positions through to Team Leader and Management roles. An essential part of my role was to consistently provide a successful, high standard of service to my clients, to find the best suited candidate for their business.In this position, I quickly adapted to a different pace and focus and found I gained drive and ambition when working in a fast paced, targeted environment. I thrived in consistently exceeding my personal targets and KPI's and providing a service to my clients and candidates which I could be proud of. This allowed me to work regularly with them and to build a robust and successful, mutually beneficial relationship where I understood the business and ultimately the right profile of candidate.
