Even in these difficult and uncertain times, SpotOn Connections continues to expand! Nuria De La Fuente has recently been appointed the International General Manager for SpotOn Connections. This is a huge milestone for SpotOn, a role that previously did not exist at all. As we open our 3rd SpotOn office in Gozo and with plans to open a 4th in 2021 in Spain this will unify our brand across the globe.

Nuria joined the company back in 2013 in our Malta office as a Recruiter, she formed part of the team that relocated from Malta to open our now established Portugal base. Bringing to the new appointment 7 years of Connector experience, Nuria settles for nothing but the highest level of quality recruitment solution. We are excited for what the future brings.

We met with Nuria over coffee to hear more about what the future holds for SpotOn and her new exciting promotion!

Congratulations on your promotion Nuria. General Manager was not a role that existed within SpotOn until now, can you tell us a little more about your exciting new position within the SpotOn Team? 

Thank you. SpotOn started with a small team in Malta, we now have 40+ team of strong dedicated Connectors in our Malta and Portugal HQ’s. We have 2 new offices opening in the coming 12 months. SpotOn Gozo which is set to open in October and with plans for a Spanish base in Q2 of 2021.

It is imperative during any period of growth that we put into place a structure to ensure we maintain the highest level of quality recruitment solutions that our clients have come to expect from us. As we expand,  my focus will be to support our management and recruitment teams to ensure that quality and develiery is consistent across all our teams, at the highest level possible at all times.

2 new offices are set to Open, Gozo and Spain. Can you tell us a bit more about why these locations? 

Gozo, which will be led by one of our Team Leaders Joelle Abela. Joelle has been working in our Malta HQ for over 5 years, commuting daily from Gozo for the entire time. She has shown growth and commitment to her SpotOn Career and we are excited to be opening the Gozo base in the Capital – Victoria. We are excited to open the Gozo base, brining 10+ jobs to the island within the first 12 months.

The team is expanding and ready to relocate to open our Spanish base in Q2 2021, with the Noelia leading the team. Noelia started her SpotOn career in our Malta office and formed part of the team that relocated from Malta to open our Portugal office, experience that will come in handy when relocating to open the Santiago office.

What does it take to be a Recruiter? 

To be a successful Recruiter and Connector, you need to be responsible and self motivated! Recruitment is a tough but rewarding job, so its important that you have the drive in you to push yourself.

We do not require any specific qualifications or experience; what we value the most is a strong moral compass and be determined to succeed without compromising on ethics! If you have experience in a target driven or outbound calling role, this will be an advantage.

The job is to source and speak to job seekers – on the phone and on video calls all day. So its important you are ready for this. It is not a job for a shy person.

What does the typical day of a Trainee Recruiter look like? 

A Recruiter’s day is busy, always! A typical day (if there was such a thing) involves seeking potential candidates using a wide variety of sources and databases, building yourself a strong and wide network. You will be interviewing candidates, getting to know their skills, strengths and motivations, and matching to suitable careers with our clients.

We provide industry leading recruitment training, both initially and throughout your connections career! A recruitment career can change your life. No matter your life goals or motivations, there is a way to achieve them and our management team are here to ensure you can reach your potential.

How can job seekers apply and find out more about this Trainee-ship?
