Designed, Implemented and Managed an on-site 12 Month Recruitment Solution for a Blue Chip I.T Service Provider based in Brussels – Predominantly tasked with recruiting a large number of multi-lingual Infrastructure Support professionals to fulfil the requirement of the European Commission framework agreement.
I was also tasked with building a future pipeline of talent which involved creating partnerships with Universities and Private I.T Colleges to ensure my client was well placed to attract the very best graduates.
As an addition to the original Managed agreement I was also tasked with improving the existing bid process - I would provide the very best candidate CV’s tailored specifically to accompany the Bid, whilst also providing up to date salary information to ensure each section of the bid could be priced with extreme accuracy.
Along with this “core” work, my "professional hobby" is to continue recruiting within the Digital Marketing arena and I work closely with a number of leading London based, Design / On-line Marketing Agencies, placing Technical, Analytical and client facing personnel.
Throughout my career I have developed excellent candidate sourcing skills, utilising all the online technologies available, whilst not forgetting the more traditional methods such as referrals and recommendations, having full life cycle responsibility has enabled me to also develop excellent relationship building skills.
