My Journey at Navartis Doncaster - Senior Recruitment Consultant Navartis Employee Review

I have worked at Navartis for 2 years now, having started in October 2023. I was offered a position in the Civils Contract Team, which involves dealing with freelance roles/candidates in the Civil Engineering sector. The first 2 weeks of my employment were spent in the training bay, in which I was taught the basics of recruitment by the Learning & Development Team. After that, I was moved to my permanent desk in the team. As well as desk-level coaching from my team, I had 12 sessions of Module Training to teach my the Navartis way of recruitment. I was taught the main roles that my team recruit for, the major clients within the sector and the general type of projects I would be sourcing candidates for. Over time, I developed enough knowledge to explore the sector myself. This gave me the confidence to win new business, arrange face-to-face meetings with clients and work roles which hadn't been explored by my colleagues in the past. The bonus structure is set out so that the more you are willing to commit to the role, the higher your earning potential becomes. In the freelance team, you are paid an initial bonus for your placement based on how much it is worth to the company, and then a recurring bonus for as long as that candidate stays in the role. I was surprised at how quickly I could grow my stack of active contractors once I had been through the initial training stages. What has really helped me grow at Navartis has been the culture. Before starting here, I wasn't a particularly confident or sociable person. The overall vibe of the office, as well as the outgoing social culture, has helped me develop my people skills to the point I was promoted to Senior Consultant within 2 years.
