Confessions of a Recruiter

Firstly, I am a complete arachnophobic. Some years back I was happily working at my desk in the medium sized recruitment agency I ran when suddenly I felt something on my leg. Immediately I knew it was a spider climbing up towards my knee. My shrieks (no manly yells here unfortunately) drew the attention of my Lead Consultant who came to my aid. She grabbed my trouser fabric and trapped the spider with her hand whist I removed my trousers around her clenched hand - in the middle of the office. Much to the amusement of everyone else who worked with me!

If you want to get something off your chest or want to share an inspiring story from your recruiting life, please email Louise with all the details.
