Recruiter

<p data-key="156">I've been in recruitment for over 20 years. Like so many of us do, I fell into it! I was first attracted to the industry as my sister was very successful in recruitment. To be honest, it looked like really good fun, especially in London where I spent some of my early career.</p><p data-key="158">I was lucky enough to train with very experienced and successful head hunters. It didn't take me long to realise that I had an interest in hunting niche skillsets. Over time, I've adapted to working in pretty much any discipline. The bulk of my experience ranges from public sector, financial services and banking, professional services , FMCG and retail.</p><p data-key="160" data-slate-fragment="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">30 seconds scrolling my Twitter posts will reveal my biggest passions - cooking (especially trying new recipes), wine, travel, football (*sings blue moon*) and my two kids - not necessarily in that order!</p>

Introducing the We Are Adam Hiring Trends Report for 2024.

New for 2024!

<article class="clearfix"><h1>Introducing the <span style="color: #de1583;">We Are Adam</span> <span style="color: #01a6bc;">Hiring Trends Report</span> for 2024.</h1><p>A year has passed since our last report, and this time we're going all out. In addition to our usual salary insights, we've surveyed our network of senior leaders to give you both sides of the coin. Alongside our usual employee satisfaction data now sits information shared by our hiring managers. Featuring brand new sections on topics such as remuneration and culture, this report is an essential read for all those making strategic people decisions in 2024.</p><p>Here's a snapshot of the current landscape:</p><ul><li><strong><span style="color: #de1583;">51%</span> express dissatisfaction with their basic salary.</strong></li><li><strong><span style="color: #01a6bc;">52%</span> are actively seeking new roles, with an additional 26% considering fresh opportunities.</strong></li><li><strong><span style="color: #de1583;">26%</span> are actively pursuing a new challenge, marking it as the primary motivator for job changes in 2024.</strong></li><li><strong><span style="color: #01a6bc;">59%</span> expect to hire in 2024.</strong></li></ul><p>Inside this report, you'll discover:</p><ul><li><strong>Key trends and data, unveiling the reasons behind job transitions, the desired pay increases, and the average notice periods.</strong></li><li><strong>Hiring trends as forecast by our network of senior leaders, with a peek in to which departments are ear-marked for investment or, perhaps more crucially, are anticipating cuts.</strong></li><li><strong>Insights into C-suite and Executive levels, offering a glimpse into market movements and the salaries required to attract top-tier leaders.</strong></li><li><strong>An expanded breakdown of salaries within our core specialisms: HR, Commercial, Digital, Marketing, and Agency.</strong></li></ul><p>Whether you're formulating your hiring strategy for 2024 or aiming to negotiate a salary increase, we trust that the insights in this report will prove valuable. It's essential to note that these figures represent national averages, and salary discussions are nuanced, influenced by factors like location, industry, experience, and business size, among others.</p><p>While this report serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the broader market, we recognise the need for tailored insights. If you require a more detailed review of your specific circumstances, reach out to our team at 0161 359 3789 or drop us a note at hello@weareadam.com. We're here to assist with everything from assessing your current career trajectory to providing a comprehensive, data-backed analysis of your people and hiring function.</p></article>

Hiring Trends Report 2024

The cost of turnover can leave you dead in the water.

Save Money. Save Time. Hire Effectively.

<h4 style="font-weight: 600;"><span style="color: #01a6bc;">The cost of turnover can leave you dead in the water.</span></h4><p>​</p><p>Save real money on recruitment</p><p>Reduce your attrition rate to less than the 15% UK average</p><p>Get detailed stats in a matter of minutes</p><p>Significantly reduce employee turnover</p><p>Make informed business decisions around hiring and retention</p><p>Strategically target long term opportunities</p><p>Build a culture of employee loyalty</p><p>Identify savings to invest in your business&rsquo; future</p><p>Less churn = less stress</p><p>​</p><p>When Excel doesn&rsquo;t cut the mustard, and you don&rsquo;t have the time (or budget) for fancy software, we&rsquo;re here to help. Just 3 simple questions can demystify employee analytics. The best bit? It&rsquo;s data you&rsquo;re already collecting.</p><p>​The harsh reality is that employee turnover is a constant challenge for senior leaders. It&rsquo;s harder than ever to bag the best talent but getting them through the door is only half the battle. Retaining your team takes as much work as hiring them in the first place.</p><p>You not only need to get under the skin of *why* your people are seeking greener pastures. You need to understand&nbsp;<strong>how much that turnover is impacting your bottom line</strong>.</p><p>It&rsquo;s why we built this simple assessment, enabling you to easily calculate the cost of attrition in your company.Contact&nbsp;<a href="mailto:richard@weareadam.com" title="richard@weareadam.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">richard@weareadam.com</a>&nbsp;for more information.</p>

How wrong were we?!</p><p align="left"><br />The reality is that the UK is facing the potential of another national lockdown.

You’ve graduated from university and are looking for your first job in your chosen field. It’s an exciting time, but one that can leave you feeling deflated if it doesn’t go to plan.

<article class="clearfix"><img style="float: left; margin-right: 30px;" src="/static/imglib/insights/advice_grad.png" height="128" width="128" alt="" /><p><span style="color: #000000;">You&rsquo;ve graduated from university and are looking for your first job in your chosen field. It&rsquo;s an exciting time, but one that can leave you feeling deflated if it doesn&rsquo;t go to plan. </span>Only a small percentage of graduates manage to secure an industry job in their first year. That&rsquo;s why obtaining your first position takes the three P&rsquo;s; Preparedness, Perseverance and Positivity.</p><p>By now you probably have an idea of where you want your career to go, and maybe even know what the first steps are. If not, don&rsquo;t worry! A quick Google usually helps to map out a career path. The important thing to understand at this stage is that where you start is never where you end up. By looking at roles that are similar to your dream job, you&rsquo;ll open yourself up to great opportunities and a wider range of experience.</p><h2 class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #de1583;"><strong>Getting Started</strong></span></h2><p class="MsoNormal">First up, grab a notepad. You&rsquo;re going to start by making a list of companies you would LOVE to work for. When you&rsquo;ve got a good-sized list, think about why you are attracted to each of these companies. What are the common traits? This will help you define what really matters to you when deciding whether or not to join a business, and will stand you in good stead throughout the process.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a>Next, you should make a list of companies you really DON&rsquo;T want to work for. Is there a common thread here, such as reputation or industry? Just like the companies you&rsquo;re dreaming of, it&rsquo;s important to understand what you don&rsquo;t want from an employer. It&rsquo;s temping at this early stage to take any job you can get, but you&rsquo;ll soon find yourself back on the job market if it&rsquo;s in an environment that you hate.</a></p><p class="MsoNormal">The last bit of prep before you start looking for graduate opportunities is to refine what you are looking for to kick start your career. Is it experience in a specific role? Are you looking for something generalist where you can learn a lot of new skills? Does a supportive environment appeal to you? Perhaps somewhere that offers ongoing training and development. Or you may fancy getting stuck in to a fast paced, dog-eat-dog culture because you thrive on the competition. It&rsquo;s vital that you recognise your emotional and developmental needs before you start your search to keep your focus in the right direction.</p><h2 class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #01a6bc;"><strong>Crafting your CV </strong></span></h2><p class="MsoNormal">We have LOADS of advice when it comes to writing your CV. And we&rsquo;re willing to bet that you&rsquo;ve had multiple chats with careers folks and teachers about it too. But what the academics tell you, and what people like us are looking for don&rsquo;t always line up.</p><p class="MsoNormal">If you&rsquo;re starting from scratch, you can grab our CV template below. It has plenty of prompts to help you get started. We&rsquo;ve also written a pretty great blog (if we do say so ourselves) about the &lsquo;perfect&rsquo; CV. Spoiler alert, the &lsquo;perfect&rsquo; CV doesn&rsquo;t exist, so don&rsquo;t put pressure on yourself.<br /><br /><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="/static/download_files/CV_Template.docx" class="download-btn cv_template">I WANT HELP WITH MY CV</a><br /><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">The focus of your CV should be on selling yourself, not your degree. Why would they choose you over the 100 other grad CVs they&rsquo;ve received? Be confident, but not arrogant. No one likes a smart ass. If your CV looks light on experience, focus on skills and achievements instead. You can make the most of hobbies on your CV too, as they demonstrate transferrable skills. Tiktok famous? That shows you are social media savvy. Play sports? Obviously, you are a good team player. Love to paint? You must have a creative side.</p><p class="MsoNormal">If it&rsquo;s relevant, why not create a portfolio? This can be as a PDF, printed or even a website. Portfolios provide a great way to show your skills and creativity, and if it is hosted online, you can link to it from your CV.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The biggest tip we can give you with CV writing is to always tweak it for each role you apply for. Look for key words in the job advert and make sure you cover those somewhere in your CV. The hiring manager will skim through hundreds of CVs every week, so you need to make sure yours stands out.</p><p class="MsoNormal">And finally, the controversial cover letter. You don&rsquo;t always need them. Unless you are expressly asked to send a cover letter, we suggest that you focus on your CV and, if you are submitting it by email, to include an overview about why you want to work for their business within the email body. This needs to be bespoke to each role and company so go back to your lists. What qualities, opportunities or cultural values are they offering that appeal to you?</p><h2 class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #de1583;"><strong>Applying for Jobs</strong></span></h2><p class="MsoNormal">Rule number one: don&rsquo;t &lsquo;spray and pray&rsquo; by sending out a ton of vaguely relevant applications. Keep your job search focused and organised. Run all opportunities you spot through your list of requirements. Do they fit the bill? Then go for it.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Keep track of what you&rsquo;ve sent where, and who you&rsquo;ve heard back from. It&rsquo;s VERY easy to lose track! You don&rsquo;t want to send your CV to the same business three different times, because, quite simply, it looks bad.</p><p class="MsoNormal">To get started, we always recommend going to your list of dream companies. Most companies don&rsquo;t advertise their graduate opportunities because of the sheer volume of enquiries. So it&rsquo;s time for a bit of social sleuthing. Are any of them hiring? Sometimes you can find grad roles on their &lsquo;Work For Us&rsquo; page. If not, can you find any hiring manger information to contact them personally? Look for Heads of departments you&rsquo;d like to work in, or an Internal Recruiter or Talent Acquisition person. If you can grab their email address, drop your CV into their inbox. What do you have to lose?</p><p class="MsoNormal">As well as looking for grad roles on the usual job websites, get a good relationship with a grad-specialist recruiter. Most businesses don&rsquo;t pay recruiters so you&rsquo;ll need to do your own work too, but having a recruiter on your side can also open up more opportunities that aren&rsquo;t being advertised. Stick to one recruiter so you don&rsquo;t get your applications mixed up.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Don&rsquo;t pass up volunteer work or internships. Even if it&rsquo;s only for a few weeks until you secure your first job, these can be a great addition to your CV and provide tangible examples of real-life experience.</p><h2 class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #01a6bc;"><strong>Going the extra mile</strong></span></h2><p class="MsoNormal">Applying for jobs isn&rsquo;t the only way to kick start your career. There&rsquo;s so much more you can be doing to secure your first opportunity.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Join Facebook and LinkedIn groups, jump into Twitter Spaces and get stuck into Reddit communities. Go wherever the people in your desired industry are and get involved in conversations. There tends to be a lot of info sharing, and some businesses will post Grad opportunities to these places directly. Plus, social media accounts are ideal for demonstrating your expertise and passion, and show off your great work so far by building your personal brand.</p><p class="MsoNormal">But not all networking happens online. There are plenty of events across the UK that are industry-specific and free to attend. People who go to networking events love helping each other out, so start building your community early to get access to the best opportunities throughout your career. You could also look at joining an industry body, giving you access to personal development and online learning modules, networking events and even accreditations to boost your CV. Networking is a great way to find out about mentorships too. A good mentor can significantly boost your career progression; whether through advice and guidance, or sharing vacancies and introducing you to their peers who might be hiring.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Finally, don&rsquo;t neglect the relationships you have already built. Maintain a good ongoing relationship with one or two of your uni lecturers, as they can be invaluable not only for references, but industry insights, and they usually have a lot of connections too. You might even find that other people on your course are able to put you in touch with the right people to kick start your career.</p><h2 class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #de1583;"><strong>The best advice we can give?</strong></span></h2><h5 class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #01a6bc;">Keep all your options open, never burn bridges and stick at it.</span></h5><p>​</p><h4 class="MsoNormal"><strong>MORE USEFUL RESOURCES</strong></h4><ul><li><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;">8 Top Tips to Nail Your Next Interview</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: #000000;">How to fail a video interview</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: #000000;">What Recruiters wish you knew </span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: #000000;">What they DON'T tell you about interviews</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: #000000;">How to improve your chances of getting an interview</span></p></li></ul><p>​</p></article>

The overall purpose of a Human Resources department is to ensure that an organisation is meeting objectives through the people it has hired.

<p><img src="/static/imglib/sectors/hr.jpeg" class="imageRight" height="330" width="330" alt="" /></p><h2>Jobs in HR</h2><p>The overall purpose of a&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resources">Human Resources</a>&nbsp;department is to ensure that an organisation is meeting objectives through the&nbsp;<strong>people&nbsp;</strong>it has hired.</p><p>Human Resources, as a system, is there to enable organisations to both obtain and then retain skilled, committed and motivated employees. In a sense, these departments reach their purpose by providing assistance to an employee throughout their time with an organisation. This journey can be summarised:</p><ul><li><p>To begin with, HR Departments are responsible for developing and implementing a recruitment process that attracts new talent to the organisation. They source, interview and hire individuals that are judged to be a fit</p></li><li><p>Following on from the initial employment of an individual, a HR Department will assist the new employee to ensure they are well orientated with their new workplace. Taking cues from senior management, the department educates these employees on what is expected within a company in terms of guidelines and practices</p></li><li><p>The department then acts as a custodian throughout the term of employment. For the most part, employees will have little to no direct interaction with Human Resources; regardless, they will be protected by, and work within the policies and procedure set. Of course, HR practicioners are always on hand to deal with grievances. They also take a hand in appraisal and disciplinary systems</p></li><li><p>Finally, when employees part company with an organisation, senior management may wish to consult with a Human Resources department with regards to the termination of a contract</p></li></ul><h2>What are the aims of a HR department?</h2><p>In summary, a HR department aims to:</p><ul><li><p>Enable an organisation to obtain and retain employees</p></li><li><p>Enhance and develop the skill-sets of the employees, furthering their employability and potential for growth</p></li><li><p>Develop top-level management practices</p></li><li><p>Cultivate a harmonious atmosphere that breeds productivity</p></li><li><p>Help the organisation to reflect the needs and objectives of the stakeholders</p></li><li><p>Ensure that employees are valued, and that they are rewarded for accomplishments</p></li><li><p>Ensure that employees are managed, and that they are disciplined for under-performance</p></li><li><p>Consider the diversity of the workforce, and empathise with differing individual / group needs</p></li><li><p>Ensure that equal opportunities are presented to all members of the workforce</p></li><li><p>Work to improve employee well-being, particularly in the area of mental health</p></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>What HR roles are there?</h2><p>Entry level positions include HR Assistants and Administrative work, but as mentioned above, this is an industry with immense opportunity for rapid growth.

<p><img src="/static/imglib/sectors/web.jpeg" class="imageRight" height="350" width="350" alt="" /></p><h2>Web Development Jobs</h2><p>In general terms,&nbsp;<em>web development</em>&nbsp;is a term given to any work involving the development of a website for the internet. This can include web design, client-side/server-side scripting, initial design work, server and security configuration and content management system creation.</p><p>Professionally speaking, however,&nbsp;<em>web development</em><em>&nbsp;</em>more specifically describes the core non-design aspects of a website project: writing markup and coding for different web pages and the functions that they possess.</p><p>It is an industry that continues to grow and advance year-on-year with boundaries and capabilities expanding all the time. With this industry growth comes the introduction of new technology and new functionalities, some of which possess serious benefits for ecommerce businesses.</p><h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Responsibilities of a Web Developer</h2><p>The overall responsibilities of a Web Developer will often vary according to the focus of the role in in question. Across the board, all roles will see candidates write code in programming or scripting languages, fix bugs throughout the course of projects, co-ordinate site testing and initiating mobile responsiveness testing.</p><p>There is also the expectancy for Web Developers to express a commitment to personal development, learning and testing new technologies to ensure they are up to date with new trends and advancements in the industry.</p><h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">What is it like to be a Web Developer?</h2><p>Working in the Web Development industry can be tough and demanding as the nature of the work is incredibly deadline focused. That being said, there is currently a large skills shortage for design, development and programming roles across the country so there are plenty of opportunities for those with the correct qualifications.</p><p>Working in Web Development offers plenty of opportunity for expansion into different areas. Rather than just sticking to one thing, you can begin to specialise in, say, Javascript to focus your efforts on that programming language.</p><p>Typically, offices will permit a relaxed dress code for day-to-day work although when meeting a client for a project update, or kick-off meeting, you will often be asked to dress more formally.</p><p>The three most prevalent cities in the United Kingdom for Web Developer roles are London, Manchester and Leeds.</p><figure class="elementor-image"><img src="https://www.weareadam.com/content/uploads/2018/09/web-developer-jobs-in-manchester.png" alt="" /></figure><h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">What roles are there in Web Development?</h2><p>Entry level positions include HR Assistants and Administrative work, but as mentioned above, this is an industry with immense opportunity for rapid growth.
