Chamber Training lands a Good Egg after recruitment process!
A key figure in the future plans for Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber Training has praised the process that first attracted her to the role.
Rebecca Bond joined the organisation as the Operations Director in May after chalking up more than 15 years in education and training, most recently with Halesowen College.
Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber Training and sister organisation Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce wanted to fill the role as part of its plans for growth.
Matt Hammersley, HR manager at the Chamber, decided to enlist the support of Chamber member Good Egg Recruitment to help find a suitable candidate.
The company was established by Nicola Cairns in 2016 after several years working in the corporate sector to offer an independent service to both candidates and employers.
They conducted an initial search before making an approach to Rebecca.
Rebecca said: “Good Egg Recruitment contacted me directly on LinkedIn following a specific search for suitable candidates.
“From the outset, they were friendly and approachable, and they made it clear what Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber Training were looking for in their new Operations Director and how my skills and experience would support my application.
“They made the whole application process so easy. All they needed was my CV, which they used to base future discussions and support on. Ongoing communication from the point of application was outstanding. They worked with me every step of the way, providing detailed information during each stage of the process. I always knew what to expect and what to prepare.
“Over the years I have worked with several recruitment agencies both to recruit staff but also to secure employment for myself. I can honestly say, they are the best that I have ever dealt with. The personal touch that Nicola and Annette apply to all that they do, caring about their candidates and wanting to do their best for the employer and candidate, is second to none!
“I am happy in my new role here at Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training and really appreciate the support I received from Good Egg Recruitment to secure it.”
Nicola said: “We first met Matt Hammersley from Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce in February 2023 who kindly introduced us to Sally Lucas, Executive Director for CWCT to assist with the recruitment of an Operations Director.
“After meeting Sally and discussing the team, culture, vision of the company and of course the incredible opportunity, we carried out the full recruitment process and found an amazing “Good Egg” Rebecca who was offered the Operations Director role and accepted!
“As a local business we were delighted to support Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce and CWCT with recruitment.
“We pride ourselves on offering a very personal, bespoke service and it’s great to see that reflected in the feedback we have received from both Rebecca and the Chamber.”
