Bond Williams Staff Spotlight – Charlotte Harris, Senior Resource Co-ordinator

Otherwise known as Charlie, we find out more about our brilliant Senior Resource Co-ordinator, Charlotte.

Give a potted history of your career to date.

I started my career working for the MOD on an army base dealing with soldiers’ civilian training, which I really enjoyed. Due to relocation, I then found myself working in recruitment for a specialist recruiter in Wimborne and stayed with them for 8 years.

Why did you get into recruitment?

I started out as an administrator but eventually, I adapted to my environment and my role developed into an all-round support function for recruitment consultants.

What qualifications do you have? 

I have 2 diplomas in Animal Care!

What do you think makes a great recruitment consultant?

You absolutely have to be adaptable, empathetic and flexible. You also need to think quick on your feet and be able to multitask.

Your biggest achievement at Bond Williams?

Running the temporary recruitment desk to cover maternity leave, which was an extremely enjoyable challenge.

Your biggest achievement in life?

My biggest achievement would be marrying my husband, buying our flat and getting our lovely dog Oliver!

Always wanted to travel to…?

I’m not really much of a traveller but I would love to be where there is loads of snow!

Always wanted to learn how to…?

Train dogs professionally

If I weren’t a recruitment consultant, I would be…?

Anything to do with animals – although it would probably upset me too much now!

People would be surprised to know this about me?

I moved to Scotland at the age of 17 and have an extremely irrational fear of Spiders! I also have an obsession with Lego.

Motto in life or something you strongly believe in?

Live life the way you want to!
