Why our training is key.

Matt’s story

Having joined Boston Hale in January 2019, Matt has rapidly progressed within the business, earning promotion to Consultant very quickly he’s now track for another very soon. Matt’s strong work ethic, easy-going personality, and contributions to the social side of the business have made him an important part of Boston Hale.

When hiring for Boston Hale teams we look primarily at values, attitude, and cultural fit. We find people who we know have what it takes to succeed, then we provide the tools to help them. The combination of learning and training offered at induction stage is intense as it is intended to get people up and running as soon as possible. Having made his first placement within his first full quarter working here, Matt is proof that it delivers. With more than one average placement each month afterwards, Matt went on to earn his first promotion and is working his way towards the next step.

Why he joined

With no less than six offers from recruitment & sales companies, ranging from big multi-national brands to boutique niche agencies, Matt made the decision to join Boston Hale.

“With Boston Hale I had immediate engagement from their senior leadership team. The interview process included an assessment day which showed me how good their training was, introducing me to their professional trainers, senior leadership team and consultants with 2-3 years’ experience. All of this made it clear that I was going to be trained by experienced professionals I could aspire to”.

Ambition and determination to succeed is paramount, but at the same time, we are a values-driven business. We want to attract honest, dedicated people who can contribute to our culture and enhance it. Matt’s own ambitions and values very much align with Boston Hale’s. This came through from the start and that is why he joined.

Why he’s stayed

“I was very quickly given the opportunity to build out my own desk, whilst still receiving training when required. I have now written up the most business at Boston Hale so far for Q1 of this year” Matt

Our learning and development programme has supported Matt throughout his Boston Hale career, and has helped him achieve the successes he has so far.

“The mix of group training, mentoring and 1 to 1 coaching is extremely good. Not all businesses of this size have a Head of Learning & Development whose sole responsibility it is to help us progress.” Matt

“I love the fast-paced work environment – it always keeps me on my toes. No two days are the same, there is always something to challenge me and to look forward to – especially the social events!” Matt

What’s next?

Matt is now working towards his next promotion to Senior Consultant and is thinking big beyond that, hoping to start building his own team in his specialised area.
