    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • In charge of the HR email inbox so answering Associate queries. Processing new starters, job changes and leavers (this involves creating the documentation, sending emails to the Associates and their line managers and updating HR systems). Processing payroll each month correctly. Worked on the undergraduate recruitment process (advertising the roles, training line managers, reviewing CV and cover letters, interviewing candidates, planning and leading the virtual assessment day). Also ran various reports for people in the company.
