What do you think is a key skill or knowledge required to recruit for the Industrial Sector successfully?
It is vital to understand a client's needs, to be able to find the correct skillset and person fit for their role. For candidates, it works the other way, to find them the work they enjoy the most for the company that will offer the best opportunity for them.
Any other sector knowledge that you would like to share?
The Industrial sector is fast-paced, often running 24 hours a day, so having excellent attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure is the best approach. Understanding that being on hand as and when needed by the companies that operate 24 hours a day is vital to ensure they have the best cover possible. Before working in Industrial recruitment, I worked in compliance and recruitment in London for healthcare clients, helping me gain solid knowledge on the documentation required for various roles and nationalities.

What do you think is a key skill or knowledge required to recruit for the Industrial sector successfully?
It is vital to understand the full job spec, including skills and experience required, before searching for the right candidate. Likewise, understanding entirely what a candidate is looking for in their next job is equally important, so we can best match vacancies with candidates. A candidate's requirements or preferences can be anything from location, salary, parking, or even local amenities.

I also help on other divisions such as Commercial and Health and Social Care when I can, to gain a complete 360 understanding of what Top Job Recruitment has to offer.
