Summary of Employment
May 2005 – July 2015
Capital International Staffing Ltd
Capital International Staffing Ltd are a leading recruitment agency, specialising in providing
permanent and contract roles to the Aerospace, Automotive, Defence, Electronics and Telecoms
industries across the UK, Europe and China for over 30 years.
My role at Capital International involved providing administrative support to the sales team
including:
 Contract management which involves setting up new client contracts and reviewing
client Terms and Conditions of Business to ensure compliance with company policy.
Raising contractor and permanent staff contract paperwork, and following up with
Account Managers and candidates to ensure that all contract paperwork has been
completed. I was also responsible for keeping our computer systems updated with
relevant candidate and client contract paperwork. The paperwork is checked and
monitored by the Financial/Managing Director and 100% accuracy is expected.
 Uploading new job adverts onto our internal system and a range of online job boards via
Broadbean (including Jobserve, Jobsite, Space Careers, Monster etc) as well as creating
new accounts on the job boards for any new starters. I was also responsible for
producing the monthly ‘Advertising Budget’ report for the Management team.

2.  Responsible for the timely and accurate registration and formatting of CVs onto the
Microdec database, followed by issuing a Welcome Letter detailing data protection and
requesting a signed statement of eligibility to work in the UK from the candidate along
with a copy of their passport.
 Candidate management which included following up on Welcome Letters with company
and marketing information for new candidates; sending out Interview Letters to confirm
interview details with both candidates and clients.
 Running credit checks on all new clients in both the UK and the rest of the world and
performing periodic credit checks on existing clients as scheduled.
 Admitting monthly commissions for Account Managers to the Financial Director.
 Creating Guidance Notes on procedures to go onto the internal Intranet system.
 Dealing with customer queries over the telephone and via email.
Achievements:
 When I first started looking after the contracts in 2007, the client folders had been
neglected and so I took on a “Centralisation” project to make contract management
much more efficient and thus easier for everyone to use. Over 250 files needed to be
sorted through, many of which were archived. The remaining current clients were
separated into 2 categories: archived and current folders. Terms and Conditions were
renewed and reviewed where necessary, and all important information for each client
was put into an Excel spreadsheet and attached to the client file on the Adapt system.
Attributes required:
This role required extraordinary flexibility, adaptability and prioritising of skills. Performing tasks
within strict time limits and 100% accuracy were my primary targets. Excellent organisational
and time management skills were also vital in this role.
