Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Screening and matching candidates to the roles which they are suitable for. This was done via job adverts I posted or cold calling candidates searching for roles on job boards. I would also prep my candidates for interviews in great depth and have daily communication with my employers about jobs they need assistance on whilst providing market update's to the client.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a large amount of responsibility as I was given the role of managing the temp desk with a major client. The responsibility was given to me by my manger as a result of hard work with that client which I can only be grateful for. This exposure was fantastic as I got to represent my company and feel in a position of real importance
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

My communication skills have increased enormously through speaking to people every single day in a friendly manner. Networking, punctuality, and eye for detail have also developed by speaking to people in positions of great authority via in person conversation and regular emails.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
A real hunger to succeed. The ethos I took away from Randstad was work hard, play hard. I made real friends whilst working there and we had a lot of fun but we always knew when to work hard and hit our targets.
