Background

About Rob Barry

With over 8 years of experience in business development and recruitment, I am passionate about helping people find their ideal career and connecting them with the best opportunities in the market. I have developed strong skills in customer relationship management, qualifying opportunities, and new business development, as well as a deep understanding of the competitive landscape and the challenges and trends in various industries. I am currently a Permanent Recruitment Consultant at Reed, the world's largest family-owned recruitment agency and the UK's #1 specialist recruiter. I share Reed's mission to improve people's lives through work, and I strive to deliver exceptional service and value to both candidates and clients. I also enjoy working in a diverse and collaborative team that supports each other and celebrates success. In my current role, I am responsible for sourcing, screening, and placing candidates for permanent positions across a range of sectors and disciplines. I use various tools and platforms, such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Reed's own database, to identify and attract potential candidates, and I conduct thorough interviews and assessments to match them with suitable roles and employers. I also manage the end-to-end recruitment process, from negotiating terms and contracts to providing feedback and follow-up. Additionally, I build and maintain long-term relationships with clients, understanding their needs and expectations, and providing them with market insights and advice. I also proactively seek and generate new business opportunities, leveraging my network, referrals, and cold outreach.
