Joining McBarron Wood Grad Scheme


Why did I choose McBarron Wood to further my Career as a Recruitment Consultant?  What makes it such a satisfying profession?

I have been interested and challenged.

Even though I have only been here a relatively short time, I know this is not going to be a quick six months, but a long term career.

What do we do?  We help people. We help Candidates. We help Clients.

We are not social workers! Don’t be confused. You must be a hard-nosed, practical effective business person and well educated salesman to maximise income in this industry. But you can

get what you want by helping other people get what they want.

• Finance Director – £40m t/o biotech ( Oxfordshire )

• Corporate Finance Manager – Boutique ( Berkshire, Nottinghamshire, Essex )

• Financial Accountant – £10m t/o manufacturer( Oxfordshire )

London Calling… Keeping in touch…

Friday, September 24th, 2010

As Managing Director of McBarron Wood, it is always so nice to receive a call from a client who you have been trying to break into for ages, who calls you to arrange a meeting because they are tired of their current supplier not coming up with the talent they are looking for.

It started months ago, it actually feels like years, but months ago speaking with clients I have known in London for ages. A FTSE 100 company who I have always wanted to recruit for, but they have a PSL (Preferred Supplier List) and an in-house Talent Acquisition Team. However, on Finance & Accountancy they have not been supplied the talent they need or deserve as an employer of choice.

Tuesday morning I was elated to speak with my client and be invited to meet with them on Wednesday morning to discuss how McBarron Wood as a London Recruitment Agency who specialises in Finance & Accountancy can really assist them. Wednesday morning came and the meeting went swimmingly – we secured their work for the London office and potentially more offices in the future.

It just shows that patience truly is a virtue and that the Recruitment Agency business is a Contact Business – you have to keep in touch…

We are now recruiting ACCA, CIMA, ACA qualified and part qualified candidates for them.  See our job board for more information.
