Careers in Recruitment!

Hello!  So you’re sufficiently intrigued in the idea of working in recruitment to have clicked onto this page.

Well, welcome!  Let me give you a snapshot of what a career in recruitment might be like.

My name is Guy Buncombe.  Following my graduation in science and three unhappy and largely unsuccessful years working as a science teacher in the east end of London, I fell into recruitment.  I was looking for a job as a van driver to help bolster the family budget, when the agency I’d registered with offered me a job in the office.  I took the job because it was warmer and safer than driving round London.

As it turned out, I’d stumbled upon a form of work that suited me, and which I seemed to be quite good at!

Five years and two jobs later, I started Seltek Consultants Ltd with my long time friend and colleague Rod Lock.

Thirty three years and – at a guess – 10,000 interviews later, I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every day of my working life since 8th October 1979, except one.

What’s so good about it I hear you ask?  Well, in no particular order:

• The chance to earn a well-above average income
• Working with like-minded, enthusiastic and entertaining colleagues
• Providing a much-needed service to a grateful clientele
• Interviewing and talking to a wide variety of interesting candidates
• Constantly entwined in the warp and the weft of the rich tapestry of human existence!
