Meet our HR Recruitment Team
Rebecca Pike, Early Careers Specialist
What is your proudest career moment? Being part of the Graduate Recruitment Team when we won ‘Best Recruiter - Medium Regional Firm’ at the 2018 LawCareers.net Training & Recruitment Awards. This was a really proud moment particularly as this was in response to survey feedback from our trainees and NQs, which was incredibly rewarding for us. What have you learnt from your time in early careers/HR? Actively getting to know more about different areas of the firm is a great way to learn. You can bring your learnings and wider understanding into your day-to-day role. What is your favourite thing to do in your free time? Trying new places to eat! I really enjoy eating with friends and finding new spots we haven’t tried before. I also enjoy anything crafty; I find it a great way to relax. Given what you know now, what advice would you give your younger self? Make the most of every opportunity! Even if it’s not something of interest currently it will most likely lead to learning something / meeting someone new and helping you in the future.
How did you get to where you are today? Through my roles at Michelmores, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about the different areas within HR which was a fantastic way to gain a wide range of experience. I also completed a MSc in Human Resource Management which allowed me to develop my knowledge alongside working too. Recruitment and particularly early careers recruitment was a real passion of mine and an area I really wanted to focus my career. What do you like most about early careers recruitment? Meeting candidates throughout the recruitment process! This could initially be at a careers event or during our Assessment Day, I really enjoy hearing about candidates interests and why they want to join Michelmores. It’s also extremely rewarding seeing candidates progress and celebrate huge career milestones; from joining the firm, moving through different seats and qualifying with us. If you weren’t in early careers/HR, what would you be? A wedding planner! I’ve always liked the event aspect of my roles and I recently got married and really enjoyed the process.
