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 Taunton
Taunton has a long history and features particularly heavily in Britain’s religious past, with a monastery being located there in the tenth century. The town is still home to some of the most impressive churches in the UK, particularly the Church of St James, which dates back to the 14th century and has a 34 metre high tower which overlooks the Somerset county cricket ground. Taunton is the county town and administrative centre, and this accounts for a good proportion of its employment.
The town of Taunton is located towards the south west of Somerset, and is joined to Exeter and Bristol by the M5 Motorway. Thirteen miles (21 km) to the north is the Bristol Channel, and 23 miles (37 km) to the south is the English Channel. The railway that passes through the town loosely mirrors the motorway route, and the Western Union Canal linked Taunton in 1839.
Taunton is a relatively affluent town, and it is currently undergoing a major regeneration programme. There is some manufacturing and other light industry in the town, although it is mainly a service-based economy. Thee facts, along with good communications by road and rail make the town a reasonably good place to seek Recruitment Director work.
