Tui Travel PLCRecruitment Advisor
Dec. 2011 - Mar. 2013Portsmouth, United KingdomAs a Senior Recruitment Advisor for TUI Travel PLC, I specialised in recruitment for three distinct Specialist and Activity Brands: SkiBound, JCA, and TravelBound. My primary responsibility was to coordinate all recruitment efforts for these brands, sourcing the right talent for seasonal positions through engaging Assessment Days, while also striving to maintain high retention rates across each brand. In this role, I led a team of four Recruitment Advisors, setting ambitious targets, overseeing recruitment campaigns, and providing training across all aspects of the selection process. My daily activities included a mix of administrative tasks, conducting presentations, managing team dynamics, booking travel arrangements, and fostering strong B2B relationships with key stakeholders. I was involved in every facet of recruitment, from sourcing and screening candidates to hiring and welcoming them on their first day. Operating within the seasonal recruitment industry meant that I faced tight turnaround times for replacing staff members. Therefore, being prepared and having a robust selection of candidates on standby was essential to meeting our operational needs.
