Jade Fry

Consultant

“I’ve worked in recruitment since 2019, having been an account manager and recruitment consultant. I’m very experienced at nurturing client relationships and developing key accounts, and I’m used to working at a fast pace, because I previously worked on a busy temp desk. I know how to work quickly, while maintaining quality.

“During an average day, my work involves screening and qualifying candidates for business services roles. I’m also involved in looking after clients and making sure that they receive a high-quality service.

“What sets Ryder Reid apart from its competitors? Our passion and commitment. Ryder Reid has a ‘people-first’ approach; there’s a genuine commitment to match the right people to the right roles. From a personal point of view, one of the key reasons I enjoy working here is the people I work with. They’re supportive and fun to be around. There’s a perfect balance of having fun and knuckling down and getting great results for clients and candidates by doing a job that we all enjoy and thrive at.

“I love recruitment, because it’s all about people. The work isn’t just transactional – at least not for me or Ryder Reid. You get to build some brilliant relationships. I talk to many people every day and get to make a real difference in some people’s lives, which is fantastic. Life’s too short not to make a difference. There’s no better feeling than when you’ve helped someone to land their dream job or you’ve helped a law firm to find new talent. It’s incredible.

“My biggest career achievement to date was in my previous job, when I won Account Manager of the Year in 2021, the second year I’d won an award. It was an incredibly difficult year, because I was new to the business, COVID had just hit and I had to adjust quickly to a new way of working. This was on top of my dad recovering from a life-changing brain injury. The hard work, resilience, and patience paid off and I couldn’t be prouder.

“As a child, what did I want to be when I grew up? A dancer. Given any opportunity, I would dance, even if that was performing a routine on a playground bench at school.”
