Corporate Recruitment Manager Review

I am a Corporate Recruitment Manager for M&B, recruiting and managing vacancies for all departments at our head office. My tasks include:- Writing adverts Promoting vacancies and Promoting M&B as an employer of choice Screening CV's Interviewing candidates Making job offers Provide a service to our hiring managers Help improve capability, Involved in attraction campaigns Talent planning projects Liaise with key stakeholders, third party agencies, specialist agencies, candidates and line managers

I'm currently studying my L5 HR Consultancy Apprenticeship through M&B which is great as it is broadening my knowledge and understanding in HR on the whole. I have attended internal training courses whilst working at M&B - Presenting Successfully, Business Influencing Skills, Insights workshop, Resilience Workshop and handling difficult conversations. Learning everyday new elements of my role.

I am enjoying my apprenticeship programme, I find the workshop content and the assignments very interesting and I enjoy learning about all the other areas in HR besides Resourcing. Under the current circumstances the programme has had to be delivered differently to the normal, all via webinars. Great that Crosby has been able to adapt and the programme still go ahead but I imagine it would of been a different experience.

The programme is very well organised and structured, you attend a workshop online and then have 6 weeks to complete the assignment. Also the programme includes progress reviews with my Lead Tutor and my Manager which is really beneficial to have that time whilst being on furlough and not getting that face to face time. The programme can be flexible as well to suit individuals needs, mine has been extended because I'm on furlough.

This one is really difficult to answer as myself and my whole team is on furlough and has been for the entire duration of my apprenticeship programme. My manager has attended all of my progress reviews and given me support when needed but under the circumstances I haven't reached out to other members of the HR team or my manager that much as I have just been getting on with it.

I receive support from my lead tutor during our progress reviews and I know if I need any help with assignments or have a question, my lead tutor is always there to support. I find my progress reviews really helpful with touching base and making sure I am on track with my apprenticeship.

Difficult question to answer as I am on furlough and have been throughout the duration of my apprenticeship. I can see what benefits it will have when I do return to my role and apply these. Looking forward to putting my learning into practice on my return to working at M&B.

Lots of extra curricular activities usually to get involved in when there isn't a pandemic. I climbed Scafell Pike as part of a charity event through work. We have a social committee in place that arranges social events, pay day drinks, days out and other fun activities around the office.

I love M&B and being part of a leading company within the hospitality industry. I believe in the organisation's values and what we are trying to achieve. I love promoting M&B as an employer of choice and recruiting top talent into our organisation. It's such a friendly, fun place to work with a sense of community. Great benefits too!

The world is your oyster! M&B is a large company therefore you can develop and build a career, lots of opportunities for internal progression, additional training, events to get involved in and opportunities to gain further qualification like the apprenticeship. M&B is a great place to work as it is fun friendly and the people are amazing!
