Welcome to the team: Nathan Shipsides

We recently welcomed our newest Recruitment Consultant, Nathan into our Chesterfield office!

Nathan joins us after completing a placement year during university with Randstad Inhouse Services, where he worked as an Account Specialist within the recruitment industry. The role involved a lot of candidate screening, interviewing and facilitating assessment centres for perm positions, as well as being a 360 recruiter dealing with all aspects of the recruitment process blue collar campaigns – giving him a great starting point for working with us!

As well as a background in recruitment, Nathan also has a degree in Business and Management which has given him a base knowledge of sales and the business side to recruitment.

Nathan’s current position as a Recruitment Consultant focuses on temp, blue collar workers. We’re keeping him busy, spending his days visiting clients, communicating with candidates or researching and following sales leads. “I will predominantly be spending most of my time following sales leads and trying to gain new business in the Sheffield area.” he says.

We asked Nathan how he’s getting on so far, and how he’s finding working for essential:
“After a couple of weeks with Essential I am loving the variety in the role – it surprised me – most companies say every day will be different when it’s often not, but the varied tasks with Essential has made the job enjoyable. The job is fast paced enough so that I am not clock watching but I never feel rushed or out of control in the role either”

When we asked him what made him apply for the role, he told us “The role caught my eye as the relaxed nature of communicating with this type of candidate is something I enjoy. From the interview process I could see how Essential values the people in the business which stood out to me.”

Outside of work, Nathan enjoys watching rugby and going for drinks with friends and his partner at the weekend. He has also just moved house, so a lot of his time is spent flat packing at the moment!
