J.E  ”Chris, it felt right to meet here and add the finishing touches to your new recruitment website and system on the eve of its launch and of the highly anticipated South West clash between Bristol Bears & Bath RFC. Can you tell me a bit about the move from Rugby to Recruitment and your exciting new venture?’

C.B  ”I was fortunate enough to play professional Rugby for many years. During this time I not only learnt a great deal about teamwork, leadership and working as a collective towards a specific target but picked up a number of successful business connections. I started recruiting for a number of high profile clients within the SW when I retired as a Professional Rugby player and we’ve progressed WHY Recruitment & WHY Sport to ensure we are able to target and place the most suitable professionals in the market 
 

J.E  ”Reflecting on your time playing as a professional rugby player to now performing as First Team Coach for Cleve RFC, what important experiences can you draw on to take into your new recruitment business?

C.B  ”Rugby’s taught me a number of important life lessons. Competing for top spot and performing for team mates was at the forefront of what it meant to be a professional rugby player. We are looking to instil these competitive characteristics within the team here at WHY Recruitment & WHY Sport. Communication was paramount on the rugby field and we will emphasise this to our consultants when dealing with both candidates and clients. 

J.E  ”I know your team is already actively placing professionals with several high calibre clients throughout the South West however can you detail what types of personnel WHY Recruitment will be working with?”

CB  ”Temporary, Contract and Permanent Professionals working within the following sectors:

  • Trades & Labour
  • Driving & Logistics
  • Cleaning 
  • Factory & Warehouse
  • Office & Admin 
  • Care
