I'm currently a sophomore in college, and I recently started working for Sewell Recruiting, Coaching, and Consulting about 2 months ago. My friend, who is a classmate, recommended me to his parents who are the founders and CEO and vice president of the company. After working closely with him on school assignments and some personal long-term projects, he thought I would be a good fit. I interviewed with the vice president and CEO about 3 months ago and landed the job the week later. In my role, I commit between 5 and 10 hours a week while balancing my schoolwork. I go onto our sourcing platforms, review people's resumes, see if they're a good match for our clients, and then reach out to them. Once I make positive contact, I set up video call interviews that last about 45 minutes. If they're a good fit, I do a thorough write-up that highlights their story and work background, get references, and send them to one of my bosses for a secondary interview. If that goes well, I send the candidate to the client with a cover letter, their resume, and my feedback. Even though I'm new, I've had an impressive streak - my first candidate is about to get placed, which doesn't generally happen within the first month, and I'm also potentially bringing in a client, which also doesn't happen as an employee of only 2 months. Before this, I worked as a legal assistant to my dad at a law firm and as a daycare assistant where I was basically in charge of all the paperwork.
