A day in the life of a
junior recruiter at Highline

 

9:30am : Now let’s get going on my morning routine. I prefer to deal with all my emails first thing as you never know what the day will bring later on. Then getting all new job applications processed onto our global CRM is a big priority as we need to make sure everyone gets a reply and we must react quickly for our client’s requirements. 
 
10:30am : All applications are processed, the top profiles are now identified. I move on to telephone interviews, a step that I particularly appreciate! This is a great opportunity to see how the jobseekers present themselves, discuss their motivations and above all, understand their expectations in order to be able to present them to our recruiters for face-to-face or video interviews.
 
12:00pm : Meeting with the recruiters, it’s time to present them the profiles that I have contacted and that seem really interesting to me. We review the CV’s and portfolio’s together as well as my interview notes. 

1:00pm : Time for lunch! When the sun is shining, we often bring our own food to have a little picnic on the steps of the Opera, which are located just in front of our offices. If it rains (as it often does in Paris), we have lunch at a restaurant all together. We are well placed and spoiled for choice but we usually head to the Korean BBQ. 🥢
