How would you describe Eventus Recruitment in 3 words?

Friendly, professional, welcoming.

What do you enjoy most about your role at Eventus?

Recruitment can be a rollercoaster. Regardless of the stage people are at in their career, it feels truly rewarding knowing that you have had an impact on their journey. I enjoy speaking with legal professionals (if you know me, you know I love to talk!), building long-term relationships and being able to give honest and real advice.

How do you unwind after work?

I find that listening to music or a podcast on the commute home can really help my mind to slow down after a busy day.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I love spending time with my husband and 2 year old son. Although those with experience of toddlers know that you don’t get much time to ‘unwind’ – so any chance to sit down on the sofa with a glass of a wine and bit of reality TV is most welcome. But we try to enjoy family holidays, walks and trips to the farm.

Top tip that you would give to a professional who is looking for a new career opportunity?

Speak with an experienced specialist recruiter who actually knows the market and who will be your champion! You will have more exposure to opportunities that may not be advertised yet and be guided through the whole process from start to finish.

Top tip that you would give to a business to ensure a robust recruitment strategy?

Be clear on what you are looking for and understand that time costs real talent! If you are not moving quickly enough, your competitors will be!
