Human Resources / Recruitment

To extend my experience within the Oil & Gas industry primarily within HR or Recruitment.

Harvey Nash Plc
Account Manager for British Petroleum (BP)
November 2005 – February 2009

Harvey Nash is a highly reputable global professional services firm operating in 36 offices globally. I worked at the UK headquarters within its core business unit – IT Recruitment. I was the Account Manager for the UK’s largest client, British Petroleum (BP). I was responsible for managing the IT contract vacancies received from this Oil & Gas client as well as managing the full recruitment cycle. As well as having a sound knowledge of the IT function I also built up an understanding of the Oil & Gas industry.

I was also the Account Manager for IBM and Genesis Housing as well as working on other leading accounts in investment banking and media.

Starting as a Resourcer in 2005 I worked my way up to managing the largest account within Harvey Nash. I was promoted twice in one year and in my first year I was awarded the ‘Hardest Worker’ within the UK business at the annual awards. Most recently I had 40 contractors working for me which equates to approximately £47,500 in average weekly gross profit (based on last 3 months). As a result of successfully meeting monthly targets on a consistent basis I attended incentive trips skiing to the Italian Alps twice and also Ibiza.

My responsibilities included:

• Developing and maintaining positive client and candidate relationships and providing a high quality of service at all times
• People and relationship management
