    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Everyday has been different whilst being on work experience as a HR assistant at Matalan. Some days I have worked with recruitment where I have been looking through CVs, conducting telephone interviews and shadowing meetings. Some days I have been working with the Talent Attractions team, by going to career fairs to promote the business and attract new candidates. Other days I have covered compensation, employee benefits, training and development, compliance, researching and work safety.
