We will normally receive identical-day assignment bookings between 7.30-10am, so it’s important to be availa ble to receive these calls and motion them asap. We have a system of breakfast temps here, so it’s normally not too tough to have a temp with a shopper within the hour. On the best way into the office I’ll check emails and any ad response that’s been sent by way of in a single day. What does a typical morning seem like? It varies massively! If we now have numerous jobs open, I’ll be busy shortlisting jobs which will involve pulling searches from our database, calling candidates to ask them to interview, and brainstorming potential candidates with the staff. Monday mornings are often frantic and earlier than I know it it’s lunchtime! Later within the week it usually dies down a bit so I’ll have my group catch ups then and get up so far on my admin. Do you discover time to eat?! Yes, but it’s usually at my desk as we’re so busy! It’s a particularly quick-paced surroundings which fits my character and work style nicely. And whereas we work exhausting, we enjoy so many benefits here too! It’s not uncommon for us to take purchasers / candidates / the group to try London’s great lunch spots. As we now have such a powerful staff we’re lucky enough to reward them with lunches / dinners at the ‘in’ restaurants and bars too! David (Tiger MD) is nice like that and recognises that talent within the business should be rewarded. Sounds good! Where have you been? We lately had a consumer lunch at Sushi Samba, and also held EA networking dinners last year at Dukes Hotel and Benares. A variety of us additionally went to Duck and Waffle final month however that was only for one of the everlasting consultants’ â€" Jo â€" birthdays. We do quite a bit with one another socially. It’s great that you simply get on! Yes, it’s a extremely shut staff. We’re fairly lucky in that respect. But we additionally spend a lot time collectively. I can’t imagine not getting on with my colleagues that I spend 50 hours+ with every week! It’s undoubtedly a wor k hard, play onerous mantra at Tiger. Having stated that, we additionally all really value wellness and staying wholesome. We say this to our candidates too: if you’re as busy as we are, it’s really essential to wind down or you risk burning out pretty rapidly. A variety of us go to the health club or run collectively after work too. So it’s not all wining and dining outdoors of labor! So back to your day… When do you usually see shoppers? When the purchasers need to! I’ll attempt to at all times meet new clients to get a sense of their culture and character but we’re not so KPI-pushed like lots of agencies. We don’t have a quota per quarter that we've to meet for instance. Ok, so how do you wind up your day? When I’ve shortlisted / placed my jobs for that day, I go home. I normally attempt to finish up by 7pm and if it’s a later one, I’ll order dinner in to the office! Rebecca is presently hiring! Tweet @rebeccasic or email [email protected] for more info.
