As a recruiter my air to deliver the best possible service to both my clients and candidates and help clients fill their live roles as well as placing my candidates into their dream jobs! The way this was done was by me actively going out and seeking new business and making sure I have the relevant candidate for their role which ended up helping me create a database of clients and candidates.During this part of my time at Opus, I was responsible for the following and overachieved in every part which lead me to be promoted in a record-breaking time! - Identifying new business, was done by lead sourcing and targeting the right companies at the right time. - Building relationships with both candidates and clients, this part was hard in the begging as I thought one was more important than the other. Saying that I quickly learned that both were equally important to one another and my learning this early on gave me one of the biggest advantages. - Diary management and time management, I learned what I put in is what I got out this was critical to me being successful as I didn’t want to waste my time, so I made sure I was always focusing on the right bits!
