Hannah, Manager, shares her advice on how to stay ahead of the game

Hannah Spears | Manager

Tell us about what area you cover and how long you have been with Marks Sattin?

I joined Marks Sattin in January 2015 and have just had my three year work anniversary! I started at Marks Sattin as a graduate, recruiting on the part-qualified perm desk for commerce and industry and I’ve worked my way up to a management position. I recruit for what we call the “softer markets”, with a strong focus on retail, media and FMCG. 

What is the most challenging aspect of your market?

There is always a high volume of roles at lower levels which is good as the market always feels fairly busy, but at the same time it’s challenging because it means candidates have so much choice and it’s a lot more competitive. We always ensure we keep regular contact with candidates to generate repeat business and to ensure they come back to us when looking for another new role.               

What has been the highlight of working at Marks Sattin?

There have been a lot of of highlights over the years! Promotions being one, client wins and repeat business being another and of course the people I work with! There’s always fun events to look forward to and the rewards are great when you do well.
