In addition to consulting with companies and professional organisations which had trouble finding qualified staff in a very restricted job pool, I also dealt with larger organisations and restaurant/supermarket chains who were recruiting heavily in order to expand their operations. Staff required covered all areas of management, administration, human resources, accounting and senior staff.Key responsibilities included job analysis and redesign essential in a changing workplace and difficult job market. I used innovative techniques to locate staff and became adept at identifying and placing suitable people in positions where they could flourish.
