Meet Vicky, Our HR Administrator

We are excited to introduce you to Vicky, our Recruitment & HR Administrator. Vicky joined our team last week and has already made a great impression! Find out more about how her first week has gone:

My experience in HR

I have always worked in customer service roles since leaving school which I have really enjoyed. This is because I really enjoy dealing with people and HR is about people at the heart of everything. I have a strong belief that HR is something that really needs to be done well and correctly and I’m looking forward to working with the team at The HR Booth who do just that.

I’m from Aberdeen originally and then moved to the central belt in 2017 so I have been exposed to a lot of varied businesses over the years. I do enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, that might come from my love of cars and motorsport where going at 100mph is the only way to succeed. This has also made me very motivated to be the best at all I do and hopefully this will continue as I grow in my role at The HR Booth.

What I’ve worked on so far

A little bit of everything so far in my first week on the job. From arranging interviews for clients to writing a new policy for another client. I’ve been also posting job adverts and producing contracts of employment. I have lots to learn in the HR and Recruitment industry and going by my first week it will be wide and varied which is great. No two days are the same.

What I am looking forward to

I’m looking forward to meeting some clients face-to-face over the coming weeks to get an insight into what we at The HR Booth can do to support their business in these challenging times. I’m also look forward to getting to know my fellow colleagues more as they have all been so welcoming and hopefully I can support them in their roles too while I absorb all the knowledge I can from them.

We’re delighted that Vicky has joined the team and I’m sure you’ll be speaking to her soon. You can find out more about our HR experts and HR administrator on our website now.
