Stormx Recruitment

06/12/2023

Hi everyone,

Slightly random one today!

We’re currently recruiting for an experienced Bar Manager for a local and thriving sports club in East Herts. Renowned as a bustling and successful sports venue both on and off the field, while a humble place by nature, this is an environment that has produced professional sportspeople who are now at the highest level.

A great opportunity to take ownership and leadership or the venue in both practical and strategic senses, they’re looking for someone to come in for 25 hours a week, which will involve weekends and evenings, paying really competitively up to £30k plus benefits!

Past hospitality experience is a must as this is a busy bar, especially on match days! The right type of person here is someone who’s willing to work hard, build relationships and an interest in sports is definitely beneficial whilst not a necessity.

If this sounds like something that may be of interest, we’d love to hear from you, either via social media or via an email to [email protected]

What’s “Red Flag Interview Prep”?

In short, it be of the most useful things you can do in advance of meeting someone for an interview.

We’ve coined the phrase in our delivery of advice to job seekers over the years, because most interview prep sees someone thinking about what their interviewer WILL like about them.

Flip that on its head for a moment, because it should be a given,

And think about what they MIGHT NOT like about you?

What might that have as a preconceived idea because of your CV?

And therefore, what could you say that might dispel that preconception, whether they question it or not?

For example, the fact you’ve had 5 jobs in 5 years (whether they’re FTCs or not), might put some people off,

So head it off yourself, talk about why that’s been beneficial for you, why it happened before even being asked about it.

No one is perfect for a job, ever.

So yes, think about what makes you right for a role In your prep,

But don’t ignore the bits that might make you wrong (in reality or perceptive terms) - how can you provide examples or evidence to overcome those things?

That combination of prep makes you more powerful without a doubt!

A simple message that every employee in this country today should read:

Life is hard. Families are hard. Relationships are hard.

(Because most of the best things in life are hard in some way)

But on World Mental Health Day this year today, when the above are all things that we cherish and value (rightly) above all else,

Don’t let a toxic role, or work environment make everything harder.

It’s so destructive, and makes life, families and relationships EVEN harder,

I’ve been there. It’s really rough.

You do not have to settle. You do not have to suffer in such environments, because of all of the key elements of our lives,

employment and work environments are something we all have ultimate control over.

Make a change, take control and of all of the things we find hard, don’t let it be something you could leave behind you quite easily.

There jobs out there right now. Good jobs.

With good people, good bosses and good cultures.

And never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Strange idea, or actually a brilliant one??

Should businesses operate a “nap policy” during the working day?

For anyone like myself who happens to have two young children who seem incapable of getting through the night fully, functioning normally for a whole working day can be tough!!

So at that point, how valuable could some form of policy that allowed an hrs nap during the day be for employees??

Too random, or absolute genius as a benefit/engagement tool?

What do you think?

Could you nap on the job?

The benefits of a lunchtime stroll.

I used to swear by it but recently have got into bad habits, mainly because working solidly through tends to help me get hom at a reasonable hour to see the family!

But it’s so powerful to reset and not just sit at a desk all day staring at your screen.

And with an office location like this, in Ware, Hertfordshire, you can’t help but benefit.

And before the glut of “where’s ware” jokes, just look it up, it’s Hertfords slightly more mature, sleepy, independent neighbour.

Yes, we’re based here and always have been, but increasingly now our footprint stretches way beyond this small town.

And while we’re at our strongest in Herts, London, Beds, Bucks and Essex, there are preciously few parts of the UK we now haven’t successfully recruited within.

The world is remotely connected now.

Our network builds after nearly a combined century of years of experience are huge and our reach is therefore massive. So don’t buy the “we must go to a local recruiter” story.

Buy the, “we must go to the very best in class recruiter” story.

And pick up the phone to us, so I can tell you how stunning the river Lea is on a sunny day, or solve your recruiting challenges.

Wherever you are

HR, Finance & Accountancy, general office. It’s what we do.
