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.”

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!”

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

Are you inspired? Why not share the love and

tell us why your recruiter is so fabulous?
