It’s been a busy few months here at Oyster and we have been working on an interesting cross-section of HR vacancies in the Legal, Professional and Financial Services sectors. Stand-out roles for me have been those newly created (eg. Senior HRBP/HR Projects, Recruitment Manager) and those aimed at the HR Advisor/Junior HRM level for able, ambitious HR professionals looking to take that hard-to-find, step-up. In short, there’s a real sense of dynamism in the market right now and a real opportunity for HR professionals to progress their careers in what is essentially a candidate-driven market.

That’s not to say that securing a new role is easy or straightforward nor without setbacks, so part of our role has been (and will always be) to support, advise, encourage and to instil in to candidates the self-belief, confidence and determination to succeed at interview. It’s truly one of the most rewarding aspects of the work we do.

Keep your eye out for new roles as Head of Recruitment, Interim Senior HRM and Senior D&I Manager and meantime, please do share the following HR vacancies with your professional network.

Senior HRBP

Senior L&D Manager

D&I Manager

Recruitment Manager

Interim HRM

Even if these roles are not for you, we would love to hear from you whether it’s to help you find a new role, simply to help knock your cv in to shape or perhaps provide you with information and advice.

Whatever your next step please do contact us on 01728 621012 and ask for Michael Pickup.
