Office Manager Recruitment

With the trend of bringing the team back to the office, what had become a somewhat less common job, has become popular again and recruiting an office manager is back in vogue.

Expect competition; office manager jobs offer a very wide range of salaries depending on location, company size and responsibilities.

We see a  good interest in adverts, albeit many candidates from an office administrative background will apply, which is not the same skillset required for an office manager.

Finding an appropriate person to fill the Office Manager role can be challenging, as meeting skills and experience requirements with individual candidates is not always an easy task.

Employers can find an administrator who may want to fill this role; however, this is a very important hire for the business and will need a candidate that can handle the running of a whole office.

That said, office manager recruitment is not a complex hiring process, it’s all about the right background and experience set.

An Office Manager will need to have strong IT Skills and experience of using programmes such a Powerpoint, Excel, Word.

Attention to detail, time management, communication, multitasking and organisation are all key attributes to look for, which can be gained through both work experience and are also achieved through the discipline of further education.
