Our life at Mercury
The days are fast-paced and varied; you’ll focus on a different assignment each day, no two days are really the same.
The day’s activity, whether it’s representing a company you’re headhunting on behalf of for an exciting opportunity, or it’s working proactively on behalf of one of your star candidates, will be your main focus.
Around this, you’ll prepare candidates for interview for the following day and take feedback from that day’s interviews. You’ll qualify and register candidates, work with our admin, resourcing and marketing teams (who’ll do an exceptional job taking care of creating cv’s, advertisements and any documentation). You’ll negotiate offers, manage contracts, advise on resignations and stay in touch through notice periods. You’ll also take vacancies, devise the right approach to recruit for the role, research the market and make approaches to potential candidates.
You’ll be delivering good news and offers, managing them through to the start date; which of course is everyone’s favourite part of the job. The flip side is delivering the bad news to candidates who don’t get the job but when you do, you’ll work with them to consult on what went wrong and how they can improve for future interviews. Your candidates will value your input even when it’s a no.
You’ll build relationships so you really understand your candidates’ aspirations and help introduce them to the right organisations for their career development. You’ll be making connections, developing your profile and reputation in the market as part of a leading brand. These are highly technical, confidential and significant appointments so you’ll be playing a big part in influencing change.
