Interview With Our First Ever Candidate!
One year into Lighthouse Personnel, we thought we would find out how the year has been and if the Lighthouse unique approach works, here is an interview with one of our placements!
How did you first hear about Lighthouse personnel?
‘I discovered Lighthouse Personnel through a Facebook post and I also contacted Lighthouse Personnel through Facebook, I was looking for work at the time so it was ideal for me. The communication was key.’
Did we initially fully understand your requirements to find you the right role?
‘Yes, Gerard knew my background and knew exactly what I was looking for. He also took the time to understand what I wanted and what I didn’t want. It was a really thorough process to make sure the job was right for me.’
Were you provided with updates throughout your initial search?
‘Every day, which I needed to get going. It was a very motivating factor for me.’
Do you think we provided you with sufficient information to help you to prepare for the interview?
‘yes, through your website and taking on my own research which I got some helpful tips over the phone from Gerard. I didn’t go in blind. I also have found content helpful such as the VLOGs’
Did we offer you support during the offer and acceptance stage?
‘Yes, Gerard gave me everything I needed to know as well as seeing how I settled in after which is something I haven’t really experienced before.’
Most importantly, did we find you the right role and how is it going?
Yes, it’s going really well. I’m nearly a year in, it has flown by for me which is a great sign
Have you ever used any other Recruitment Agencies, if so, how was our approach/process different if it was in any way?
Yes, I have been through another Recruitment agency before, around the same time I went through Lighthouse personnel. They weren’t as efficient in the sense that the process was very jumbled to me and they weren’t understanding me and my needs. Communication was spot on with your approach, it’s always been clear and transparent. It wasn’t solely on one job because Gerard also gave me the opportunity to look through other jobs he was working on which may have been of interest to me.
Do you still engage with our social media platforms or our website?
‘Yes, especially Facebook and LinkedIn. I engage with a lot of the posts and find the content useful.’
Would you recommend us to a friend if they were looking for a job?
‘Yes, I would without doubt, in fact, I already have and I will continue to do so’
Do you think it’s benefited you going through a Recruitment Agency rather than getting a job through a service such as indeed etc?
‘Definitely, because I had an extra arm, which is what I needed at the time due to my personal circumstances. I found it extremely helpful.’
