Making openness a central part of your employer brand aspiration

Steven Brand, Recruitment Marketing & Employer Brand Manager, Deloitte

I have wide experience in helping organisations attract, recruit and retain the best talent across sectors and specialisms. No longer a stop-start communication, this should now be a constant conversation, and one which doesn't only start once you express an interest or stop once you've joined. My role primarily is as consultant to the business - balancing focused talent requirements with the broader aims, purpose and objective of the firm. As a highly significant recruiter of both students and experienced professionals, the role involves thinking years into the future while delivering in real time, everyday. Quite the variety. And quite the great place to work.

Legal update for HR practitioners using online recruitment

Shahzad Ayub, Specialist Employment Law Solicitor, Levenes Employment

I joined Levenes Employment as a Paralegal in June 2010, having completed the Legal Practice Course with a distinction the previous year. I became a Trainee Solicitor in 2012, spending the majority of my training contract working in employment law. However, I also gained experience in immigration law and civil litigation. I qualified as a solicitor in January 2014. I handle all types of employment matters, but particularly enjoy the forensic examination required in constructive dismissal, discrimination and sham redundancy cases. Through working with the partners during my training I have gained experience of complex and high value cases, including in the Employment Appeal Tribunal and Court of Appeal. I have conducted advocacy at preliminary hearings and also at a three day full merits hearing in the Employment Tribunal which resulted in the client's claim of unfair dismissal succeeding.
