Monica Clare Recruitment has welcomed new Recruitment Consultant, Nicola McKenzie to the team.
Having worked in tourism for the past six years, and after a career-changing 2020, she is bringing her experience in Customer Service, Office Support and Sales to recruitment.
Newcastle is Nicola’s home-base, but she strongly values exploring the world. She has currently visited over 48 countries. Well-travelled, Nicola ranks diversity and inclusivity highly in her employer pre-requisites.
“I met with Clare after my role at Flight Centre dissolved in 2020. Clare is bright and bubbly and inclusive,” Nicola said.
“I knew she was someone I could really learn from; someone where there could be one million things going on and that still wouldn’t take away from the attention and care about answering your question.
“As soon as I walked through the door at Monica Clare Recruitment, I felt at home and cared for, which is such a rare thing in business these days.”
It was during this initial meeting Clare suggested Nicola become a recruiter.
“I’m such a people person. My strength is building relationships and she recognised this. It’s something I’ve always been really good at, and why I continued to meet strict KPIs in my travel role,” she said.
“In my first year as Assistant Manager at Flight Centre, our store was the second Most Improved worldwide. It was no easy feat.”
Nicola was excited at the prospect of working for a business founded and run by women.
“I’m absolutely loving working for a small business that’s run by women. I had also heard Krystle Parker is an incredible Manager who would teach you the ins and outs of recruitment.”
“I wanted a Manager who I could learn from and be inspired by, so the opportunity to be managed by Krystle is really exciting.”
On her hopes for her recruitment career over the coming twelve months, Nicola says she will be focusing on finding her niche.
“Office Support is such a varied desk that I think it will offer me every opportunity to learn.”
As Recruitment Consultant at Monica Clare Recruitment, she will continue to support and build client relationships in the Customer Service, Office Support and Sales space.
