When recruiting our own staff, we at Klay HR Consultants often notice that misunderstandings still exist regarding the work of an agency recruiter. In this blog, we would like to dispel these misconceptions and show you what makes the job so enjoyable. Who better to tell you about this than our own recruitment consultants in Dubai? That is why we asked them for their perspective on working on the agency side and why they enjoy doing so at Klay HR Consultants.

What are the benefits of working on the desk side?
First, we asked this question to Esmee, Team Lead Recruitment & Selection at Klay HR Consultants.

We are versatile, as we can work in various roles within our job. For instance, in addition to recruitment, we also handle account management and marketing. Another advantage of our work as an agency recruiter is that we work independently. This enables us to act as advisors to organizations and job seekers. For instance, we provide tips on how they can structure a position or team differently. It can also sometimes be useful to rename a job title to find suitable ...
... candidates. We therefore think proactively and unburden organizations in their search for new employees.

Next, our other Recruitment Consultants had their say. This is what they have to say about it:

The work as an agency recruiter is very varied. This is due to the diversity of vacancies we receive from our clients. Working with different clients has even more advantages:

You will face all kinds of challenges. At times, it is difficult to find a candidate who matches the profile. At other times, we deal with organizations whose products fail to capture the imagination. Additionally, we gain insight into many different companies. This ensures that, as an agency recruiter, you come into contact with many different industries, organizational structures, and departments. The challenge here is to familiarize yourself with this in a short time so that you can quickly convey the right message to your candidates. You also work on an ad hoc basis. This means that you constantly have to switch (quickly) between clients and candidate job profiles.

Finally, Manon, who works as a Top Recruitment Agencies in Dubai, indicates that she enjoys being able to be a sparring partner for clients.

At Klay HR Consultants, we specialize in marketing roles, allowing us to act as substantive experts in this field for our clients. As a result, we help determine which candidate would best fit the team or which position best suits the tasks to be performed. We also advise candidates, for example, on which organizations would be the best fit for them. All of this ensures that I can add value for both candidates and clients. I also notice that clients appreciate having someone who thinks along with them. The fact that they appreciate this is evident from the fact that clients often return with open positions, which they post with us so that we can recruit suitable candidates for. This gives me the confidence that we are building sustainable working relationships.

What makes working at Klay HR Consultants so much fun?
Of course, the work of an agency recruiter also varies from agency to agency. For example, one recruitment agency works with strict targets and call blocks, while another agency gives its consultants freedom in how they structure their recruitment and selection process, as long as the placement targets are met.

According to our HR Recruitment Agencies at Klay HR Consultants, what makes working there so enjoyable is the informal atmosphere and the camaraderie. They all unanimously agree on this. It contributes to their job satisfaction. There is trust in the employees, which means you are given a great deal of ownership within Klay HR Consultants. Collegiality is also high, as all colleagues are willing to help you advance, allowing you to grow as a person as well.

Team Lead Interim Recruitment, adds the following
The advantage of working at Klay HR Consultants is that the company culture is open and informal. Everyone works incredibly hard together towards shared goals. The fact that we are also located in a fantastic building that exudes creativity certainly helps. It really is a wonderful workplace. Additionally, the flat organizational structure ensures that you can communicate quickly and directly with everyone, including founders Naveen Sachar. Personally, I find that very pleasant. It gives me the feeling that I can truly have a say and contribute ideas, something that appeals to me greatly in my role as Team Lead for Interim Professionals.
