Find out about Emma and what she does here at Archway:<\/p>\n<h4>Who are you?<\/h4>\n<p>I\u2019m Emma! Em, or EJ\u2026 but mostly just Emma. I was born and raised in the Hawke\u2019s Bay, then spent four years studying in Dunedin.\u00a0 I moved to Wellington in 2022 for my final year of study and fell in love with the city.\u00a0 I love being close enough to pop home on the weekend to see my cat Kevin, and it&#8217;s nice to run into my friends and family while I&#8217;m there.<\/p>\n<h4>What do you do at Archway Recruitment?<\/h4>\n<p>I started here at Archway soon after I finished studying in December 2022. As a Talent Manager in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/corporate-sector\/\">Corporate Services<\/a> field,\u00a0 I work with Principal Consultant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/team-members\/tracey-bevan\/\">Tracey Bevan<\/a> to assist in the recruitment process for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/business-support\/\">Business Support<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/hr-and-recruitment\/\">HR<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/marketing-and-communications\/\">Marketing &amp; Communications<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>What do you do when you aren&#8217;t at work?<\/h4>\n<p>Now that I have my weekends and evenings back from studying, I\u2019m trying to figure that out myself!\u00a0 I\u2019ve recently become a first-time plant mum so keeping them alive is my main goal, but most of the time you can find me with my friends! That could be a walk along the waterfront, catching up for coffee, brunch or a cheeky G&amp;T.<\/p>\n<h4>How many candidates on average do you interview a month?<\/h4>\n<p>It varies a lot, but in the short time I\u2019ve been here\u2026 maybe 20 on average? Talk about hitting the ground running!<\/p>\n<h4>If you could give a candidate one piece of advice what would it be?<\/h4>\n<p>One piece of advice I would give to candidates is to really pay close attention to the question \u2013 what\u2019s really being asked \u2013 and tailor your answer accordingly.<\/p>\n<h4>If you could give a client one piece of advice what would it be?<\/h4>\n<p>I mostly deal with candidates but my best advice would be to move quick! The best candidates get snatched up quickly.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"TextRun SCXW195569423 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW195569423 BCX0\">What career did you want to have when you were a kid?<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>My dream was to be an actress! As someone who gets very emotionally invested in movies, I wanted to be involved in that storytelling process. I sometimes find behind-the-scenes content even more fascinating than the movie itself.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"TextRun SCXW63239134 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW63239134 BCX0\">Do you have a party trick?<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>One of my thumbs is longer than the other, it&#8217;s weirdly flexible so I can bend it in funny ways.<\/p>\n<h4>Is this your second career? What is your first?<\/h4>\n<p>Professional student! I spent four years in Dunedin studying Neuroscience and Psychology, then came to Wellington and studied for another year getting my Honours in Psychology.<\/p>\n<h3>Are you a candidate or client looking for a job or employee within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/business-support\/\">Business Support<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/hr-and-recruitment\/\">HR &amp; Recruitment<\/a> or Marketing &amp; Communications sector? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archwayrecruitment.com\/team-members\/emma-jacobs-corporate-services\/\">Get in touch with Emma for a confidential chat<\/a>.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma is Archway&#8217;s Talent Manager across our Corporate Services division and started with us at the end of last year.
