Stuart McGill

Senior Recruitment Consultant

Me in 3 Insightful. Proactive. Reliable.

I started working at Adria Solutions in September 2019. I had been working in insurance for a number of years but decided that I didn’t want to carry on with it as a long-term career.

What attracted me to work in IT recruitment was the particularly diverse range of positions that you can recruit for, along with the different characters you speak with on a daily basis. 

The biggest things working at Adria Solutions has taught me are resilience and organisation (to an extent – neither will ever be my strongest point!). What I love most about working here is the autonomy given to each consultant and the receptiveness to new ideas & ways of working!

The best advice I could give someone who wants to work in recruitment is, to learn to control the controllables and follow the process. Also, pick up the phone!

Recruitment definitely has its up-and-down days, but what keeps me going on a difficult day is a good cup of coffee and custard creams!

The skill I’d most like to learn is JavaScript – It would be great to have a better understanding and more in-depth technical conversations with candidates. My long-term ambition is to build out a team of recruitment consultants working alongside me working on some really interesting accounts.

The thing at the top of my bucket list is A visit to watch Boca Juniors at La Bombonera….The atmosphere looks incredible!
