Seeking Advice as an Entry-Level Construction Recruiter
Hello everyone,
I’m excited to share that I recently started working at a small recruitment agency specializing in manufacturing, engineering, automotive, and construction, where I’ve been for about three weeks now. Given my limited experience, I chose to focus on construction recruitment. The initial weeks were thrilling—I met my targets and have been dedicated to proving my abilities.
To continue improving, I’m eager to learn every day. Since my agency is family-run and thriving but lacks formal training programs, I’ve decided to take the initiative to enhance my skills. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for online courses, resources, or general advice that could aid my development in construction recruitment.
I’m also interested in connecting with seasoned construction recruiters who might share valuable insights and best practices. Additionally, I’m keen to learn more about business development and client acquisition to keep my role engaging and to contribute meaningfully to the agency’s growth.
If you have any tips or would be open to connecting, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m looking forward to learning from all of you!
