It’s well renowned that recruitment consultants
work long hours but Chris is adamant that if you’re
career driven, ambitious and keen to reap the
financial rewards, then this field is certainly worth
it. “You can work for another recruitment firm that
perhaps has a laissez-faire attitude and demands
less hours but you certainly won’t receive the same
career opportunities or financial rewards that we
gain at Oliver James.”
Chris’s senior position means he is heavily
involved in leading the business development of
our New York office, establishing relationships
with new clients and driving the business forward.
Alongside being a rewarding part of the role, it’s
also understandably challenging. “To put this into
perspective, when I joined the company, I was
benefitting from the established relationships
built by Oliver James in the London market. At
the time, I had little appreciation for how much
work had gone into the business development
side and I certainly took this for granted. When I
went to work overseas in the Asia Pacific market,
it was definitely an eye opener. I had to build my
business relationships from scratch and utilise skills
that I hadn’t necessarily touched upon previously.
Seeing my team now benefit from relationships I’ve
established across various markets is incredibly
rewarding.”

Sarah joined Oliver James Associates Manchester
in 2012. She was previously on the Marks &
Spencer Graduate Scheme, managing a team of
35 in-store. Why recruitment? “I actually ran into
an old friend who introduced me to James Rogers,
Director of Oliver James Associates. It was then
that I felt inspired to switch career paths and apply
for a recruitment position. I’ve never looked back;
the opportunities here have been truly incredible.
When you hit the targets and see the financial
rewards coming in, it’s amazing.”
Sarah’s biggest motivator is to be seen as “a
credible member of staff” and “the best recruitment
consultant at Oliver James”. In terms of where she
sees herself in the future; “There’s definite growth
in my market and scope to grow a team under
me. One day, I’d like to be a Director and on the
company Board.” The most important thing for
Sarah’s career? “Seeing how far I can get!”
Our ‘work hard play hard’ culture is instilled from
the top. “Our Directors, Oliver and James, work the
same hours as us, socialise with us and always take
time to offer advice and guidance. I genuinely feel
that they care about my career and helping me to
achieve my goals.”
