Two students who grew up in a charity-funded community in East Africa have embarked on life-changing university degree courses thanks to SThree.

Sabine Häßler is a Senior IT Recruitment Consultant with SThree in Berlin. After some time in Hamburg she returned to her home town and fell in love with it all over again. She shares her thoughts about working in one of the most dynamic cities in the world and how it’s played a part in her success with SThree.

If you ask around for the qualities that single out the very best recruiters two core skills usually emerge.First they have a real understanding of what makes people tick, a quality that allows them to quickly establish rapport and build trust. Ally this with a strong commercial instinct and you get well-placed candidates, satisfied clients and build regular business.

Smiles all round as Olida Khanom, Claire Preece and Marie Broad pick up the Environmental Excellence Award.

At SThree we like to think we offer something a little bit different and out of the ordinary but even we were impressed (and a little confused to be honest) after a trip with clients to a show at the Kunsfestivadesarts in Brussels.

A lot of people might look at recruitment and think that it is not for them, but for the people who have chosen recruitment as their career it can offer one of the most varied, valuable and fulfilling positions.

International recruitment company SThree is celebrating after winning several awards, including the Overall Project of the Year, at the prestigious 2015 Real IT Awards. 

Every country has its unique social rules; its own way of working that may be subtle but which can have a huge effect on how things go when you do business.

A couple of months ago, SThree Managing Partner Sanjiy Sood, Associate Partner, Rakesh Patel, and Mital Jethwa from SThree specialist brand Real Staffing, travelled to India to see the work of SOS Children’s Villages firsthand and review projects that we would like to support as a business.

SThree has been named in The Times Top 50 Employers for Women 2015 for the second year running!

Being productive at work requires you to be organised and to implement structure to your day. It is about “being focused and getting through the most important items” in order to meet the deadlines and achieve the objectives of your role.

As a recruiter you will have to deal with handling objections on a regular basis. Most salespeople might think of objections as something negative, but it is actually a good sign.

For SThree Corporate Social Responsibility has always been about more than just reducing our waste and hitting recycling targets, important as they are!

As part of our series of articles highlighting the roles and success of women at SThree we asked Christina Schmid, Senior Sales Team Leader with Progressive Pharma in Munich, about her career and for tips on being successful for women who might be considering a career in recruitment.

We find that many recruitment professionals, SThree’s included, often come in to the industry almost by accident.
