Job hunting is an intense journey, often filled with hours of scrolling through job boards and reading countless listings that don’t quite match your expectations or give a fully rounded summary of the role you are applying for. Partnering with a specialist recruitment agency like Live Recruitment can transform this process from a daunting task into a proactive, personalised search tailored to your skills, goals, and industry fit.
Felan Quirke from Live Recruitment explains: “Job searching is a strenuous beast, and finding the right role takes time. By letting us understand your expectations, we can actively find exciting opportunities that align with your career goals.”
Here’s why candidates choose to register with Live Recruitment and how it makes a real difference in helping job seekers find their right fit…
Expert knowledge in events recruitment
Live Recruitment is not a generalist agency; they specialise in events recruitment and have been dedicated to this niche for over 20 years. The team is made up of professionals who previously worked in various roles within the events industry, giving them unique insights into the needs of both candidates and employers. This first-hand industry experience allows Live’s team to connect candidates with roles that are often a perfect match in ways that a job board cannot achieve.
Felan adds, “Our industry experience means we don’t just understand the skills needed—we know the nuances of each role and what it truly takes to thrive in the events sector.”
A proactive approach to job searching
Rather than spending hours browsing listings that may not even fit your goals, registering with Live Recruitment means equipping an expert team with your unique preferences. The team’s proactive approach lets them handle the hard work of searching for you. Once they understand your skills, experience, and expectations, they work to present you with opportunities that genuinely match your profile. This approach saves time, energy, and eliminates the repetitive tasks that come with direct applications.
Strong client relationships
Live Recruitment has cultivated deep, trusted relationships with leading clients across the events industry, which allows a unique insight into each client’s culture, values, and exact hiring needs. This knowledge enables Live’s team to go beyond matching skills alone, focusing instead on finding candidates who align perfectly with both the job’s requirements and the company’s environment. As
Felan Quirke explains, “Our longstanding relationships mean we know what clients are looking for—not just on paper, but in terms of culture and fit—so candidates find roles where they’ll feel genuinely valued and set up for long-term success.”
Streamlined screening
Live Recruitment goes beyond simply forwarding CVs by conducting thorough interviews with each candidate before presenting them to hiring managers. This in-depth screening allows Live’s team to gain a complete understanding of each candidate’s skills, experience, and career goals, ensuring that only the best-matched candidates are recommended. By providing clients with a full candidate brief, Live minimises the number of steps in the hiring process, allowing hiring managers to make well-informed decisions with all the necessary context upfront. This streamlined approach not only saves time for clients but also improves the candidate’s experience, making the overall hiring process smoother and more efficient.
Personalised support with a dedicated team
Live Recruitment’s team includes 13 account managers and a dedicated candidate management team who stay in close contact with candidates, providing personalised support and guidance through each stage of the job search. This collaborative approach, with account managers actively engaging with both clients and candidates, ensures each placement is the right fit, not just for the job requirements but also for the company culture and growth potential.
Access to exclusive opportunities
As a respected agency in the events industry, Live Recruitment often has exclusive access to roles that are not advertised on job boards. This means candidates can hear about and apply for positions that otherwise would be out of reach. Live Recruitment’s industry reputation and long-standing client relationships provide a powerful advantage to candidates, offering a direct line to the kinds of roles that aren’t always available to the public.
Long-term career guidance
Live Recruitment’s focus isn’t just on placing candidates in the first available job but on helping candidates build long-term, rewarding careers. Their candidate management team, including specialists like Felan, regularly check in with candidates to provide continued support and guidance, making sure placements are successful and sustainable. Live Recruitment’s hands-on approach builds trust and offers candidates a resource for career growth even beyond their initial placement.
Partnering with a events specialist like Live Recruitment means gaining access to a wealth of experience, industry connections, and specialised knowledge.
As Felan summarises, “With our specialised approach, candidates aren’t just a number—they’re valued professionals, and we’re committed to helping them navigate the job market with confidence.”
Choosing to register with Live Recruitment can mean the difference between landing a job and finding a fulfilling, long-term career in the events industry.
