Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My role was to recruit experienced hires for vacancies across the business. Day to day responsibilities included posting jobs, screening CVs, job launch calls with hiring managers, sourcing candidates, scheduling interviews, delivering interview feedback, offering jobs, creating employment agreements.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given lots of responsibility and was expected to work independently with my own workload from roughly 3 months in.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I had a very supportive team with a group chat to ask any questions. I had 1 to 1 meetings with my manager every other week and another mentor figure to support me throughout the year. There was also a monthly call with the UK team for us all to help each other and offer advice/brainstorm. Overall I felt very comfortable asking anyone in my team for help.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The company culture at the [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] was a little strange as I felt people were very resistant to change and the longer your length of service was the more respect you deserved. As a result I felt sometimes my status as a placement student meant that people didn’t feel the need to respond to me or do what I asked them to do in order to complete processses.
