Having dealt with a lot of recruitment agenicies as a candidate over the years I was not expecting much, as they all seem to do the same, either contact you and then ghost you or get you an interview and then ghost you. Clare Love at Jivaro is not your usual consultant. Did things that I have never had the experience of a recruitment consultant do for me.
Having stayed in touch over the course of 8 months, finally let her know I was looking for work and she organised a first meeting to actually know what I was looking for, even before I applied for a job. That was the first wow moment, this person is actually doing their job. She gave me a couple of opportiunities that she had, then set me up for an interview, gave me loads of tips and help. Then followed up afterwards with a phone call. Everythnig went well, but I wanted more money so we moved on. Normally that's it, I've never had a return call from a recruitment company. Never. But as I said before, Clare is not your usual recruitment consultant, so wow moment number two she gave me a call a couple of weeks later as she had a position and she thought it was a good fit for me. So same thing again, had three interviews, Clare gave me heaps of info, not just about the company and job but also tips for the interview. I called her after the first and third interview to give her my feedback (which she requested), the second interview I was lazy and did not call her, however a couple of hours after she actually called me to ask how it went. There is your wow moment number three.
Clare was a great person to deal with, she knew what she was doing and actually made me feel valued and that she was really trying to help me, not like other recruitment companies that just want your details to boost their client numbers. And the fact I stayed on her radar even after the first position I went for, its amazing. Cannot recommend her highly enough! read more
