Wendy Jacob’s Experience
-
QS Resource Consultant
G F Partnership Limited
(Privately Held; Construction industry)
June 2005 — Present (4 years 7 months)
GF Partnership are a specialist Quantity Surveying and Dispute Resolution business providing support services to clients, contractors and subcontractors in the construction industry. I joined the company as Placement Co-ordinator in more of an HR/sourcing role, however this has developed over the years and I now work in a full recruitment position.
I am responsible for all recruitment (contract mostly, but also permanent) and business development across eight counties in an area that includes Central/North London and the northern Home Counties.
Duties include interviewing surveyors, preparing proposals, providing welfare to the team, identifying and developing relationships with potential new clients, development of existing client relationships, administration of web-based advertising, statistical reporting, preparing contract documentation, processing preferred supplier applications.
I have also been involved in many individual projects including overseas recruitment, business/social networking, client surveys and website redesign. -
HR Administrator
Culligan International
(Privately Held; Consumer Goods industry)
2004 — 2005 (1 year )
Culligan are a water treatment business who have been in operation for over 70 years. With manufacturing and retail plants across the country they employed approximately 300 staff when I joined the company in 2004.
Based at Head Office, I carried out full HR administration for the UK business, reporting in to the HR Officer. Duties included issuing contracts/new starter paperwork, reporting (on headcount, sickness, annual leave monitoring, etc.), updating of company procedures, providing legal advice to managers and staff, assisting with disciplinary, grievance and redundancy procedures.
My biggest achievement in this role was when I took over full HR duties, company-wide, for a three-month period while the HR Officer was on secondment. -
Tour Consultant
Connections Woldwide
(Leisure, Travel & Tourism industry)
2003 — 2004 (1 year )
Connections Worldwide are a tour operator specialising in tailor-made holidays to Canada, America, Asia and Australasia. I was employed in the Reservations Department but, due to my administration and IT skills, also helped out regularly in the Administration Department.
I worked in a call centre environment answering queries about holidays selling and up-selling tailor-made tours. The role involved compiling quotes and liaising with airlines, hotels and so on to ascertain costs and make bookings. I also assisted in the administration of the business through issuing tickets/travel documents and invoicing/taking monies. -
HR Assistant
Terry White Management (Australia)
(Pharmaceuticals industry)
2002 — 2003 (1 year )
Terry White Chemists are a leading Australian retail pharmacy brand. There are over 100 chemist stores franchised across the country and these are supported by Terry White Management (the head office) in Brisbane.
In my position as HR Assistant I reported in to two HR Managers. Duties included issuing contracts/new starter paperwork, answering state Award (like the National Minimum Wage) queries, co-ordinating recruitment advertising, organising training events, maintaining personnel files, and assisting with payroll administration. -
Sales Co-ordinator
CNA Specialty Services
(Facilities Services industry)
1999 — 2001 (2 years )
CNA Specialty Services are an equipment maintenance and asset management company who operate across the UK, Netherlands, France and Germany. I joined the company as an Office Assistant but was quickly promoted to Technical Support Co-ordinator in the Operations Department and, ultimately, to the position of Sales Co-ordinator.
I was repsonsible for the diaries and administration of three UK Business Development Managers, for all account policy adjustments, for the issuance of piece quotes (provided by our Underwriting Department), and for the setting up of new accounts.
