Vanessa Cole
Training Manager
As MAYDAY's first permanent hire in 2017, Vanessa has seen the company grow from the ground up and she couldn’t be prouder of the care-focused, trend-setting company it has become.
Vanessa's previous life as an actor fostered a curiosity in her about people and what drives them, which led her to a natural career in recruitment. In 2020 she transitioned into a Training & Project Coordinator role, and in 2021 to Training Manager, bringing her recruitment knowledge and passion for optimisation into a whole new focus. Her role is broad and driven by purpose; to help the company operate smoother, faster and more effectively while upkeeping high levels of care and quality.
A major focus of Vanessa's position is training the team to continually sharpen their skills and abilities, and leading the Future Recruiter program; training entry-level recruiters on best-practice and how-to's so they can find success and clarity in their role right from the beginning.
Recruiter Insider Reviews
I met Vanessa yesterday at Mayday and she was the warmest and friendly face. She then spoke to me about two roles and we discussed which one would be most suitable for me. Bianca explained to Vanessa what I was looking for beforehand and Vanessa came in, introduced herself and spoke about the things that are important to me and why this job and company would meet my needs. I was put forward for the role on the same day which was so good for me because the job I was actually at the agency to speak to another consultant about was taken already. I was no longer walking away disappointed! So the best thing about Vanessa is that she spontaneously thought on her feet and recognised my suitability for this role in the shortest time and really impressed me and gave me some hope.CANDIDATE - RECRUITER INSIDER
