Dear Sir/Madam,
As you will see from my résumé, I am an experienced CIPD and REC-qualified HR/recruitment specialist. Through this experience I have been responsible for delivering successful public and private sector hiring programmes to meet organisational needs. Experienced in direct sourcing, candidate sourcing and using a PSL.
In my role with RBG Ltd (2007-2008) I was involved in setting up a new technical recruitment desk in the offshore market (to generate a new line of revenue). Having worked offshore in oil and gas as a diver I have a very good understanding of large construction projects. This involved developing new business, sourcing candidates (direct sourcing strategies) and making submissions. I was also involved in in-house recruitment and this meant working with a PSL and advising line managers so that their recruitment needs were understood and met. Working with line managers I advised on sourcing strategies and best practice (selection of recruitment media and use job and person specifications).This involved researching and understanding market conditions. This role was made redundant at the beginning of the recession (Dec 2008). The job move I then made took me to Aberdeen University where I was able to upgrade my CIPD membership; giving me a more in-depth understanding of the recruitment cycle. This role also involved me in the posting of requisitions, working with payroll and training colleagues on systems. My skills in HR have given me a very sound understanding of the legislation in the recruitment process and how these need to be addressed to drive a business forward. Since moving to London I have taken on two temporary roles in HR/recruitment/training.
I have very good knowledge of both HR and recruitment and understand how important it is in the recruitment process to ensure good communication with all parties.
Having taken voluntary severance and relocated to London (for personal reasons), I am now seeking an opportunity to further my career and take my skills back into the recruitment sector. I have taken on temporary roles in order to get myself into the London job market. I firmly believe that my skills and experience form an ideal platform for undertaking this role and would therefore welcome the opportunity to discuss ways in which I can make a positive contribution to your business. I am immediately available and would welcome the opportunity to meet.
Yours sincerely
David Morrison
