Recruitment Jobs at JAM

Why Recruitment?

Before joining JAM, I achieved a BA Hons in Linguistics which gave me an insight to language and utilising the best way to communicate across various markets, countries and cultures. Although I didn't realise at the time, it gave me a fantastic base to drive my recruitment career as this industry is essentially all about people. I chose recruitment because you really get to understand the drivers and motivators of your clients, customers and staff and because you're dealing with people, it brings a fresh challenge everyday as no day is the same!

Why JAM?

JAM is unique because of the people. That along with the passion everyone brings is the reason I've been with JAM since 2004! The career development opportunities are fantastic and JAM is so innovative that we are constantly looking at new technology and markets to drive the next stages of the mission and vision. In addition to this, one of the main reasons I joined and stayed at JAM, is that no matter who you are or what you do, your voice will always be heard and any ideas or challenges are always taken on board by everyone including our CEO.

Something we don't know

I've played tennis at a high level and after playing at Wimbledon at 8 years old, I've travelled around the world playing in various Junior Tennis Championships.

Why Recruitment?

I moved into a recruitment for career development. I worked as a sales person for a finance company which I was successful at but I wanted to develop my career and take my experience down a different route. I was told by family and friends that recruitment was a good route to go down where I could also make a lot of money.

Why JAM?

I had interviewed at a couple of recruitment companies and JAM really stood out above them all. The people, the office and the atmosphere all felt really inviting and positive and it still is to this day. I have progressed in my role gradually from Trainee to Team Leader over the course of the six and half years. In my time here, I have received invaluable support from my mentors and peers and also made lots of great friends.

I used to be a spinning instructor!

Why Recruitment?

To be honest I stumbled into recruitment when I moved to Manchester but soon became addicted to the pace, challenge and ability to be involved with some of the world's leading technology companies.

After ten years in the industry, each day still poses a new challenge and gives me the same satisfaction as day one.

Why JAM?

JAM has always given me the opportunity to develop, learn new skills and have financial security to enjoy my home life. The values of the business and office dynamic is fantastic which you feel every time you walk through the front door!

Something we don't know

I was once a leading supporting artist in North Yorkshire, including notable titles such as Harry Potter and Heartbeat!

Why Recruitment?

Before joining JAM I completed a BA in Economics, specialising in Finance followed by an MSc in Social Research Methods and Statistics, both at the University of Manchester. Prior to this I attended Ampleforth College (an all-boys boarding school in the middle of North Yorkshire run by monks) and did A-Levels in Maths, Economics, Ancient Greek and Christian Theology. I loved all of my education years, but after my finishing my MSc I had no idea what I wanted to do so i'm one of the many who fell into recruitment... however, over a decade on I can confirm it's was a great fall as I still love it just as much as I did in 2003!

Why JAM?

Five things; namely no two days are ever the same, the great bunch of people here, the growth plans we have as a company, the career development opportunities and to see us hit the exciting goals we've set as a team and business!

Why Recruitment?

I have worked in recruitment for 12 years (over 5 years at JAM) and was attracted into the industry by the potential to earn good money in a fast paced and exciting environment.

Why JAM?

I was attracted to JAM by the impressive incentives and rewards on offer and the culture of celebrating success. The 3pm Friday finish was also a real bonus!

Something we don't know

When I was five I was shortlisted to the final three to be the girl in the Milkybar advert!

Why Recruitment?

After 7 years in the Engineering field I was keen to take my career in a new direction and recruitment offered me the ideal opportunity. It offered me a heavily client facing role and an opportunity to build up a brand within a business that I can call my own. Fortunately, I am now able to put my Engineering experience to good practice, in appreciating my client's needs and discussing technical requirements with candidates.

Why JAM?

I was fortunate to receive offers from numerous engineering agencies, but JAM really stood out to me. The company's vision for the future, the intensive training available and industry partnerships made it an easy decision for me. I can honestly say that in the four years I have been here, I have never looked back.

Something we don't know

Not many people are aware but I have developed a keen interest in the world of investments. Whilst generally being risk averse in my nature, I have started to educate myself in seeking long term opportunities and venturing out of my comfort zone.
