After a long wait, I've finally managed to get someone from the Talent Acquisition / Internal Recruitment space onto the podcast. And what a guest in Trish Young I have for you!
Trish is originally from Northern Ireland but went to university in England and decided to stay once she'd graduated. Having done a Business Management degree she wasn't sure what would come next but learnt about a career in recruitment at a Jobs Fair. Trish admits it was a bit of a car crash and that she wasn't quite suited to life in a staffing/recruitment agency.
However, it wasn't recruitment itself that she didn't enjoy more the sales aspect. So a conversation with a former client led her to a Talent Acquisition role and then the ultimate move to in-house.
For anyone wondering what exactly life looks like for an Internal Recruiter then this is a must-listen episode. Trish shares just how many facets there are to the job, what it takes to become successful in this type of role, and how she's learnt the importance of using data as a tool.
Trish was great fun to talk to and we really lift the lid on the world of internal recruitment so I hope you enjoy listening.
