Orange Recruitment LTD

I thought for all my friends and family back home you may be interested in what i'm doing on the weekdays! Every Monday through Thursday I work from 9-5 (for free) at Orange Recruitment.

Orange Recruitment is similar to a temp agency in the states. Basically we partner up with companies and businesses that need positions filled but that don’t necessarily have the time to conduct interviews and search for possible candidates. Most of the positions we offer are temporary or contract. We post available jobs on a website where people can apply and focus mostly on administrative work and catering/restaurants. Their CVs and applications get sent to us where we print, review, and contact each applicant to either inform them that they don’t have the experience our clients are looking for or we call to set up an appointment to register with us. The jobs that get posted can get up to 100 applicants so we always have something to do. Once a candidate is registered with us we have to collect specific documents and conduct reference checks. In order to keep track of what we have or what we need from our candidates we have a checklist of all the employees who are registered and currently working for us which gets updated on a daily basis. We also have to make sure that our candidates get paid correctly and we are in charge of ensuring that they receive their pay checks.

My first duty is to manage the telephones which ring constantly throughout the day. Before I transfer the call I need to get first name, surname, what company they work for or are calling from and what their call is regarding. While the phones are not ringing it is my job to complete reference checks on newly registered candidates. We also have about 4 scheduled appointments a day where I welcome and greet each candidate, get them started on filling out paperwork, make copies of appropriate identification and answer any questions they may have. I communicate with the consultants to let them know they have someone in the interview room and fill them in on any information I may think may be important to them. My day also consists of printing and organizing the CVs we get in each day, updating the checklist to make sure each candidate has turned in appropriate documents, contacting candidates who have not turned in all of their documents, contacting people for appointments and interviews, and contacting applicants who did not have enough experience for current job positions they applied for.
