Case Studies

Below are a few insights from some of our best and brightest who have come through the academy process…

Brooke

Nursing Recruitment Consultant

“Stability in my role allowed me to move into my own home after 6 months of being employed at Total Assist…

The excitement and buzz of the job outweighs the hard work…

My biggest achievement has been completing the Leadership Training; Every session was different, really engaging and it has helped me develop in my team, as well as my career…”

Aldin

Medicine Recruitment Consultant

“Total Assist has helped my career progress. I’ve been able to reach goals that I never thought I would be able to… Total Assist has allowed me to afford a Mercedes C250…

With hard work and determination you will able to see benefits in both your personal and work life… 

Once you get on the Trading Floor everyone wants to help you. That’s an atmosphere I like to work in…

The Academy Training still helps me 4 years on… The In-House Management Course allowed me to progress within my career, as I know I’m able to coach and lead new starters…”

Sam

Client Account Manager

“I have been employed at Total Assist for 18 months now I have been able to pass my driving tests, buy my first car and have three holidays; in the last 6 months, I’ve been to Austria, Portugal and Greece.

The best part of the Academy is the role-play. You walk in thinking you can’t do it, but after practice it prepares you for being on the desk and speaking to candidates.

The people I work with help make the job more interesting…”

Tolu & Randy

Surgery Recruitment Consultants

“Working in Recruitment leads to friendly competition which results in great friendships…

When I started at Total Assist I had little to no experience in recruitment and the medical sector but I embraced the new challenge… 

When starting in recruitment the first challenge is; find a Medical Professional; Second, get them compliant, and Third, book them into work. Don’t over think the process for yourself…

On the Academy, one thing that helped me develop was the tips and tricks that the Senior Recruiters taught me…

My greatest achievement was being awarded Best Newcomer in October 2016; I felt rewarded for all my hard work…

I’ve been able to go on more high quality holidays as well as having the freedom to spend money as I knew I could afford it… I can live to my full potential and never have to worry about supporting myself financially…

However, I still work Saturdays and late nights now; it’s something that helps me stay successful…”
