Although we are a job agency in Leicester, we believe that our responsibility as a recruitment agency extends beyond just placing people into roles. We think that we should help candidates to make the most out of their search, with or without our help.

READ OUR CV KEY POINTS

Ground rules for effective CVs!

  1. It’s about quality, not quantity! Aim for two pages and certainly no more than three.
  2. Keep the language clear – jargon and complicated terminology are not required.
  3. Write your CV in a recognised format. Word is the most popular.
  4. Stick to a standard font. Arial is safe, a handwriting style font is not.
  5. You don’t need to include your date of birth or a photo.
  6. Sell yourself and your achievements/contributions with relevant examples of the skills you’ve applied in the real world

Show Your Best Side – Tips For Successful Interviews

Interviews are two-way processes: as an interviewee, you will want to show your knowledge, convey your skills and make a lasting impression on the interviewer or panel.

Here are a few tips to bear in mind:

  1. Maintain a good posture – relaxed, yet confident. Body language is very important!
  2. Don’t hide your personality.  Be the best possible version of yourself. This means not acting in the way that you think the interviewer wants you to act – it might come over as unnatural and contrived. And most of all, you won’t be able to sustain it!
  3. Give yourself every chance of success – do some research, find out more about the company, their mission, their aspiration, their successes. Have they been in the press recently?
  4. Trust in yourself and your ability to do the job. You’re there because you have everything on paper to fulfil the role and make a positive contribution.
  5. Have a mock interview – perhaps role-play with friends, family or colleagues. Or prepare for competency-based interview questions.
  6. Build rapport and tell a story.

I am a student and was looking for some summer work, I called regional and was put through to Erika, she was fabulous. I called her Friday and had a job to start Monday. She found a job that had met everything I had asked for and made it super easy to start. She checked up when I started regularly and sorted any enquiries I had. I would recommend regional and especially Erika to anyone!

I have known Carla Ballinger for over 2 years. My first application for a job I really wanted was unsuccessful, but Carla reached out to me 2 years later when the vacancy became available again and suggested I try for the job once more, as I had gained 2 years of experience since my first attempt. This time I was successful. I was really impressed with her positive attitude toward my abilities, skills, and experience within the industry. She motivated, encouraged, and supported me throughout the whole process, up to the moment I had the interview on a Zoom call, which I had never done before, and Carla was at the end of the phone, talking me through downloading the link I needed to attend. When I got the job, she advised me immediately, and I had the email with the job offer and details on an email within the same hour. The communication, both verbal and written, was much appreciated, as I know Carla knew how much getting the job meant to me. I would confidently recommend Regional Recruitment Services, they have been outstanding, professional, and organised, and everything was done with a really personal touch. Even if I had not been successful at getting the job, I still would have written all the above, as credit where credit is definitely due. Thank you all so much for all your help and valuable input, and for reaching out to me again after all this time – just been superb.

As a student looking for summer work, Erika was nothing but helpful, finding me a job with an immediate start, with regular check-ups and helpful with any questions I had. Even when work was no longer available with one client, she was quickly able to find me another suitable job without me even asking so I was not waiting to work. I highly recommend Regional Recruitment and Erika as I had 0 problems and was overall a very positive experience.

Carla was a pleasure to work with. One of the few agencies that I have worked with that is proactive. I appreciated the honesty and the fact that I was regularly updated.
