Administrator roles are often those lynchpin roles in any organisation. They are the individuals who usually keep the office running smoothly, field calls coming in to teams, manage office events, coordinating teams and more.
When hiring an administrator you need to list out the tasks that you require doing and see if they fit into one role or within the organisation to whether these tasks are one or two roles or indeed whether some of these tasks fall into the office manager remit or team assistants or other roles in the organisation. We often see roles that don’t necessarily fall under other headings being given an Administrator title, but most commonly these roles are given to Team support or are more specific to the remit of the role such as Office Administrator, HR Administrator, Facilities Administrator, etc.
Once the role is clearly defined, hiring an administrator is always an engaging hire. The soft skills are often crucial to a successful candidate securing the role. Get in touch with us clients@bainandgray.com if you need help hiring your next administrator.
We always take a full and thorough brief, ideally in a face to face meeting so we really get to understand the right person specification alongside the experience required for the role.
At this level we are often asked to work with our clients on defining the role, especially if they are working closely with other C suite support individuals such as those working in Business Assistant or Chief of Staff roles. Bain and Gray has an outstanding network of active and passive job seekers.
All candidates are met by members of our team and are thoroughly competency-interviewed, drawing out examples of their soft skills as well as questioning their experience.
Bain and Gray is an admin assistant recruiter that is unique in its space. We are an Employee Owned Trust, which means the business is effectively owned by the employees. This gives an added purpose as the stakeholders (the employees) all work to our common business purpose of ‘Driving Client success through sourcing exceptional business support candidates’.
