What do you do at Bidrecruitment?

Here at bidrecruitment I specialize in recruiting work winning individuals within the property and real estate sectors.

What are you most proud about what you have achieved in your career to date?

My proudest moment at Bidrecruitment saw me make two placements in the second month, I was really pleased about that.

How did you get into Bid Recruitment and why?

I previously worked at Allsop LLP in the National Investment team which unfortunately came to an end due to Brexit. Bidrecruitment then saw the opportunity to contact me and I never looked back.

What energizes you about working in this sector and with Bid professionals?

The chance I have here at Bidrecruitment is massive. The thing I have on my side is that the property construction sector is thriving and is going to keep growing. The opportunity to grow my contacts and client base is exciting, and as this grows the more business will generate.

What’s the biggest thing that’s changed in your sector since you started, and what’s been the biggest challenge?

One of the main challenges would be that with the pandemic, a vast amount of the roles have gone remote. Now that restrictions are being lifted, more firms are expecting people to be back in the office. The transition of moving back into the office is proving a hard sell for some candidates.

What do you think the biggest misconception people have about you is?

Everybody thinks I am a posh City Slicker, but they couldn’t be more wrong, If I could live in anything, it would be my wellies, jeans and t-shirt.

What’s one thing that most people don’t know about you?

That I am a country boy at heart

What’s the best advice anyone has ever given you?

Give yourself aims in life. Have targets of where you want to be in 5 years, 10 years ect. Its great to have targets for the month and year. But it is the long-term targets that are going to make you happier in the long run.

What three words would your colleagues use to describe you?

Enthusiastic

Genuine

Witty

And finally who would play you in the movie about your life?

Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street.
