Meet Erin Mcknight who joined us on Monday 22nd February on our Graduate Scheme as one of our newly appointment Recruitment Consultants. We interviewed Erin to find a little more out about her and what she’s most looking forward to in her role.
Name – Erin McKnight
Home-town – Lancaster (However, all of my family are Scottish!)
Current location – Lancaster
How long have you worked in recruitment or what did you do before this role? – This is my first job since graduating from university
What specifically attracted you to work within Legal Recruitment? – I was apprehensive about any form of recruitment role because I’ve had some bad experiences with recruiters in the past. When I talked to Siobhan, though, I was so excited by how different Eventus seemed to be, about how much of a difference good recruitment work can make. Although it’s only my first week, Legal Recruitment feels like a sector that never has dull day – there’s always a new sector to explore and understand!
What are you most looking forward to in your role? – I’m looking forward to being able to help people get the most out of their careers. I’m a firm believer that people should have a good, fair, and enjoyable working life. If I can help someone secure that, or even better that, I know I’ve done a good job.
What areas will you be covering? – I’m going back to my university roots, so I’ll be specialising in placing people in London, Kent, and Surrey.
One crazy fact about yourself that you dare share? – I once beat The Hobbit in a drinking competition. You’ll have to pop an email over to me to find out more about that experience, though!
