I am currently a Recruiter at Muovo where my job is to match the appropriate candidates to job roles which our clients may have. In order to match the candidates with job roles not only the skills and experience must be taken into consideration but also the environment of the company.Apart from matching candidates to job opportunities I also have a number of other duties such as Business Development, lead generation, attending meetings, networking with possible clients, organisation of any events required for the company, and with my team we also coordinate how we intend on moving forward with the company e.g. when it comes to launching new products.

As an HR Administration Assistant I had various duties which ranged from the input of CVs on our database, to gradually getting more varied roles such as contacting new clients (business development), searching for candidates, writing proposals and uploading vacancies on our website and Facebook.
