I joined Badenoch + Clark’s graduate scheme in August 2006. I initially applied to make my Dad happy as he told me I hadn’t applied for enough jobs! I originally had my heart set on another position, but from the moment I walked into the assessment centre, everything changed and I knew I wanted to work at Badenoch + Clark!
I joined as a consultant with no prior experience, but have since worked across all three divisions at Badenoch + Clark: Professional Services (recruiting for in-house lawyers); the Public Sector (working for the local government team, recruiting revenues and benefits officers) and Commerce & Industry (recruiting interim finance professionals). I now manage a team of 10+ temporary and permanent consultants in the Legal division.
The people. After speaking to friends, both in and out of the recruitment industry, I’ve come to realise that the culture at B+C is definitely unique. Also, I must say that our training and development opportunities are excellent.
Being named one of our Managers of the Year at our annual awards ceremony. It was great to be recognised by the senior leaders within the business, while the prize of a trip to Singapore was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Again, I’d have to say the people! They make B+C a fun place to work, even on those days when it feels like everything’s going wrong.
