"I won't work in that part of Hemel as I don't like driving around the magic roundabout" You might have heard about one of Hemel Hempstead's famous landmarks - the Magic Roundabout? It looks far more daunting than what it actually is - basically a series of small roundabouts! There's nothing magic about it. But we have previously worked with a candidate who ruled out working for all of the great employers on one side of the town because of it. And over the years have worked with many candidates who just won't work outside of their home town! Yes, there will always be candidates who have commitments that mean working somewhere further afield just won't work. But by restricting yourself to just one location rules out so many opportunities. Imagine if your perfect employer worked one town across! And with most companies offering some form of hybrid working there wouldn't even be a need to commute there 5 days a week. Being so restrictive in your job search criteria could really damage your career prospects. Likewise having set, immovable criteria for what you expect from your next role will likely mean missing out on opportunities that otherwise would come your way and you may not have considered. Yes, have a set of job search requirements, some of which will be essential and non-negotiable. But keep an open mind. Consider what could be available to enhance your career that otherwise wouldn't be open to you. Don't let a magic roundabout or an extra 10-15 minutes on your commute stop you from finding your dream job and employer! #recruitment #jobs #careers

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝘆, 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲? Like chasing stars and catching dreams, adventures teach you both the breathtaking heights and views as well as the profound abyss and mysteries of life's rollercoaster ride. During a recent hike in my home country Switzerland, it became as crystal clear as an Alpine stream: the hiking adventure reminded me of the self-employment journey of the 6 last years working as a RECRUITER and Agency - Co-owner of WIPS, a boutique recruitment agency for the luxury hospitality industry & UHNWI’s. I am ready to share some rocky truths about this experience: ⛰ In the first year, I felt frustrated. ⛰I failed to secure a big account; a VP said I was too young and inexperienced. ⛰I have now taken my first real vacation after 6 years of being self-employed. ⛰Often I work 7 days a week. ⛰I didn't achieve the target I had set for myself in the first 3 years. Why would anyone share this? Because many only see the end results of dedicated hard work. Being a self-employed recruiter in a still male-dominated industry is no cakewalk. Among many things, you have to champion: ⛰Unexpected challenges ⛰Evolving recruitment trends ⛰Consistent relationship building ⛰Round-the-clock availability for partners and candidates ⛰Negotiating contracts, sometimes with biased Executives ⛰Self-motivation (No one pats your shoulders) ... One momentum of victory is just a snapshot in the grand adventure. ⛰Setbacks are part of the journey. ⛰Pressure is a constant companion. ⛰Working with diverse people is an ongoing learning curve. ⛰Navigating unexpected situations comes with the territory ⛰Keeping the agency on track is an ongoing effort. Next time you think someone's journey was a walk in the park, remember: their path is far from over. Success is an ongoing trek, and what you see is just a glimpse of their journey. Pause, reflect, and ask: How well do we truly know each other's stories? #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality #hotelier #switzerland

Cheers to 10 years! 🎉 A lot has changed around here in 10 years, but one thing is for sure, we still pride ourselves on excellent service and of course, Local Jobs, for Local People! A big thank you to our Managing Director, Mike, for being the driving force behind the business and for the opportunities he gives us every day. There is a reason we are such a strong team and we probably don't praise him enough for being a supportive, encouraging and inspiring boss! Take a look at a quote from Mike: "A question I get asked a lot locally is what made me set up my agency in mid Wales? If you have been to our office, you’ll know we are pretty rural. After moving to the area, I repeatedly heard that local people didn’t feel there was much employment support within the area. They would have to travel far afield to register with an agency, which many were reluctant to do as they were unsure if the work they would be offered would be back in the town/area where they lived. This was the same outcome for clients, they were using agencies from a further afield area, and more common than not, the staff that were coming to work were those that lived nearby to the agency, and not the local people, eventually leading to poor retention figures when they found positions closer to home. The gap was the perfect opportunity for me, to start supporting local people fill the local jobs, and helping local companies find staff that wanted to be in the roles long term. I tried to find an office space that was a central point to the 3 biggest towns, and here we are! I think it’s this ideology that also helps us service some fantastic clients that are also situated in really rural locations. We understand the area, the way the roads are, the common recruitment barriers they face and we are able to offer a better support and understanding than further afield agencies from big towns/cities. Although we are never going to be best situated for everyone, we are fortunate with the pace in which recruitment technology has come forwards and that we are now able to adapt our recruitment process to meet each clients individual needs.”

✨Employee Spotlight: Pete Samson ✨ Meet Pete Samson, our Contracts and Commercial Coordinator at Wisely! We sat down with Pete to get a glimpse into his day-to-day at work and what makes his journey at Wisely so unique. Typical Workday: Pete's workdays are anything but routine. While he follows systematic processes, every tender and contract presents a unique challenge. Despite being mostly a "desk jockey," Pete relishes when he can visit job sites, gaining firsthand insight into the Scope and Terms & Conditions he reviews in contracts. Time at Wisely: Celebrating five years on July 1st! Departments: Although Pete hasn't moved across different departments, his role has evolved alongside the business's growth and development. Career Goals: Pete's career trajectory may not be mapped out in detail, but he envisions himself continuing to thrive in the commercial space, contributing his skills and expertise for years to come. Why Wisely: Pete was drawn to Wisely by its stellar reputation and the impressive individuals he met during the interview process. The collaborative spirit and endless opportunities within the company have made it a fulfilling journey for him. Favourite Aspect of Wisely: Pete appreciates Wisely's ability to adapt and grow, allowing him to progress in his career. Being a privately owned business gives Wisely the flexibility to engage with clients without the constraints that larger corporations might face. Hobbies/Interests: Pete's focus shifts to his family outside of the office, keeping him happily occupied. When he's not immersed in family activities, you'll likely find him at the Mackay Golf Club, enjoying some well-deserved time on the course. Pete's commitment to excellence and adaptability mirrors Wisely's ethos, making him an integral part of our dynamic team. We're lucky to have him on board, shaping the future of Wisely with his expertise and dedication. #Wearewisely #choosewisely #wisely30years #EmployeeSpotlight #WorkLifeBalance 

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐯𝐞 🐝 Get to know the driving force behind Honeycomb Jobs Ireland, meet Louise. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲? I worked for the Department for Employment and Learning for 15 years in a variety of roles, all of which were focused around helping Employers find talent and helping jobseekers find meaningful employment. I greatly enjoyed working with these client groups but felt my career was a bit stagnant in the Civil Service. That’s when I decided to look at recruitment as a career path within agency. I met with Mairead Scott, and the rest is history and I’m delighted to say it’s been the best decision I have ever made! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭? There is so much that I love about recruitment, but people are always at the core of everything I do. I've been fortunate to team up with some amazing businesses and candidates, and nothing beats the feeling of finding a business their next superstar or helping a candidate hit their career goals. It's these moments that make recruitment feel less like a job and more like a great journey with fantastic people. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲? A standout achievement has been our collaboration with a Global Financial Services firm who were establishing a new operation in Belfast. In this project, my team and I took on the role of the exclusive recruitment partner, entrusted with the task of building a team of over 100 professionals. The positions ranged from Financial Services Administrators to Financial Advisory customer support, Team Leaders, Senior Managers and Complaint Resolution Administrators. Working within a tight timeframe of just 3 months presented its challenges, but delighted to say the team rose to the occasion and the client was delighted with the service and calibre of candidates. Over a year later, we remain their exclusive partner, a testament to the success of our partnership. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝? Outside of work, I am passionate about travel. With a Mountain Leader as a partner, I have taken on some ambitious expeditions such as the 260k Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas, trekking across the Andes mountains from Chile to Argentina in Patagonia, climbing the highest mountain in North Africa and Spain as well as my personal best, the highest pass in the world at 5416 metres in Nepal. I've also just come back from a 7-month sabbatical travelling in South America, Balkans and Europe. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐣𝐨𝐛? When you love what you do it’s hard to think of anything else other than recruitment, but if I had a wand, I would become a travel blogger.
