Jaime Walker - Trainee to Branch Manager in just over 2 yearsJaime joined Smart as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant in September 2008. With training and hard work, within six months Jaime was performing well above his targets. By August 2009 Jaime was promoted to the position of Recruitment Consultant; and in January 2010 a further promotion earned Jaime the position of Branch Manager. Here's how Jaime achieved his success, in his own words.
"What attracted me to join Smart Recruitment?"
"I was looking for a professional and friendly company that would meet my expectations regarding exceptional financial reward. Also I wanted to invest in a career that offered the opportunity for a successful long-term future."
"I can say without hesitation that Smart Recruitment was the right choice."
"Yes, the standards are high. You need to be a strong communicator, a quick thinker and ready for the challenge of a target driven role. You need to feel comfortable promoting the company and its services to both clients and candidates, on the phone and in person. But the training and support Smart Recruitment gives its trainees are first class. They show you how to develop new business, and strengthen relationships with existing clients. I am now responsible for growing and managing my own team."
"For trainees, I know first hand that it's a steep learning curve. This is no nine to five job. But by rising to the challenge I've come a long way in a short period of time. I know if a trainee has the right attributes, and the skill and dedication to meet the challenge, the opportunites at Smart Recruitment are endless."
"If you are prepared to work hard, the financial rewards are considerable. I came to Smart Recruitment without any previous sales experience and in my first year earnings were in excess of £30,000. In addition I won several incentive schemes, including bottles of champagne and a weekend away at a five star hotel. I am looking to future success as the company continues to grow".
