Testimonial from a recent Trainee Recruitment Consultant

"Recruitment looked like the ideal opportunity for me. It enables me to use my listening skills, empathy, and my sales flair at the same time. I had the chance to use theoretical knowledge from my studies directly on a daily basis. To have an employer who is flexible and open to offer a part-time opportunity is fantastic and to successfully achieve this balancing act between working, studying and family"
