Take the brief
We work with you to identify the key role and person criteria needed for the role.
Hire a Receptionist
A receptionist is a key hire in any business, and Bain and Gray are here to help you get this role right. The front of house reception is often the first impression any visitor, employee, client or customer will have of your business. This interaction can create a lasting sense of what the company culture and professionalism, as well as the business ethos is about.
All our receptionists are interviewed face to face by our consultants, gain a thorough understanding of their work history, experience and capability, as well as their personality, warmth and dedication to the front of house space. We continually work to maintain a broad and diverse network which reaches the very best talent and ensures we conduct our search as trusted allies to both our clients and candidates.
