Tell us about you and your Admiral story?
After graduating from university in 2021, I was very unsure on what I wanted to do so I almost fell into external recruitment. Within that time, I found a passion for recruitment but knew that internal recruitment would be much better suited for me. I have always loved the thought of working for Admiral so what better way to continue my career within recruitment for a fantastic company.
Why would you recommend Admiral?
There are so many reasons why I would recommend Admiral. Not only do they have great benefits such as the share scheme, but they are also continuously looking out for our wellbeing and encouraging everyone to develop a strong work-life balance. They are constantly helping and going above and beyond for everyone whether that be customers, colleagues or the community. Everyone is just so friendly and positive and it makes work fun and enjoyable.
