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.
Future Recruiter Testimonials
Hiring my first rookie was a daunting experience, especially given the amount of time I would need to invest in their training and development. After 6 weeks of working with me and learning 'on the job', I put my new starter through the Mayday's Future Recruiter training academy. I'm so pleased I did. Not only was the academy well structured and insightful, but my new recruit came back with newfound confidence and so many ideas to turn into actions. I highly recommend this training academy to anyone wanting to help their rookies learn through a well structured learning programme. Sometimes it's easy to forget that a structured recruitment grounding is the best way to set someone up to succeed, and that is exactly what this is.
