Recruitment Director Jobs
As the need for top quality candidates becomes a key strategic consideration in these uncertain times, the role of the recruitment director is becoming ever more relevant. Gone are the days when large companies could advertise jobs and hand a pile of CVs to departmental managers; the modern company needs to be treating its staff as its most important asset, and representation at board level of recruitment expertise is the natural progression.
The recruitment director will have close working relationships with human resources, location managers and any appropriate departmental decision-makers, as well as the rest of the board and external recruiters. You will be expected to oversee recruitment drives and communicate needs of the board to the operational team so that a line of communication can be maintained throughout to ensure that strategic recruitment needs are understood and met.
The skills required
Because all businesses have their own unique set of recruitment needs, a director with experience of recruiting within the industry will be an obvious asset to candidates. However, the uniqueness of each business also means that most companies give strong consideration to good recruitment directors from outside the industry.
A proven ability to take ownership of the role in a manner befitting directorial status often reveals the successful candidate. This may include becoming a consultant to subdivisions, or even partners within a company. To be a successful recruitment director, an ability to show that you have experience with large recruitment budgets, and evidence that you have control of cost-benefit analysis, will be invaluable.
Recruitment Director Jobs in East Sussex
Bordered by Kent, Surrey and West Sussex, East Sussex is a ceremonial county in the south-east that is situated on the English Channel. It comprises communities like Eastbourne, Brighton and Hove, Hastings and Newhaven, and offers a variety of opportunities for those seeking Recruitment Director jobs.
In the 5th century, the South Saxons settled in the region that would later become known as Sussex, although archaeological evidence suggests that humans and their ancient predecessors may have been living in the region for more than 400,000 years.
During the 16th and early 17th centuries, glass making was an important part of the East Sussex economy, although this mainly died out in the 1600s as competition with the East Midlands took over.
These days, East Sussex is a popular tourist destination and much of its economy is based in the service sector and retail.
Brighton is home to a number of financial services companies, including the European headquarters of American Express. Other companies include the Body Shop, and various media and tech companies have moved to the area since the 1990s.
What's more, East Sussex also comprises two important port towns. Newhaven is used mainly by ferry companies that travel between France and England, such as LD Lines and Transmanche Ferries. Meanwhile, Rye is predominantly used for fishing and yachting.
