Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I have been working within IBM consulting for the UKI and Nordics HR Business Development team, responsible for handling talent aspects including employment legislation such as TUPE as well as IBM specific policies/processes. I assist engagement and transition managers with acquisitions, divestures, outsources and integrations, as well as owning onboarding/offboarding activities. Depending on what stage the deal is at, my daily tasks consist of; taking minutes in consultations, issuing transfer letters, assisting employees with onboarding documentation, collecting employee data using Workday and DMS, sending communications via the department Task ID and conducting Proof of Eligibility checks. These all involve working with colleagues globally as well as directly with external clients. I also interact with other HR divisions such as immigration and compensation, helping develop my broader knowledge of HR.

I have been given a huge amount of responsibility in the role. I feel that I have been an integral part of the team. I have had a great amount of exposure in the role and have been able to learn and gain a lot from the experience.

What advice would you give to others applying to IBM
Do your research. It is important to show you have taken some time to do some thorough research on the company and adapt your applications/answers accordingly. This shows you have an interest in the company and have made effort to wanting to work at IBM.
Doing a placement gives you a real insight into what a ‘real’ job is like and you can gain an understanding of what it is like working in such a large corporate company and in the sector you are interested in.
