I joined Crédit Agricole CIB in January 2008 as an intern and was working on the Resourcing & Development team, managing the recruitment of temporary staff and latterly the interns, along with various other projects.

I am a HR Advisor on the generalist team supporting Fixed Income Markets in London. I also assist my team in managing the Foreign Exchange and Commodities product lines globally. My primary duties revolve around the hiring and on-boarding of new staff, employee relations and policy advice, along with regular reporting to head office. My recent move to the FIM team has enabled me to gain exposure to the core HR functions and developed my understanding of HR strategy.

In March 2009 an on-site outsourced service for temporary recruitment was launched, managed by Resource Solutions. I was a primary project resource throughout the 6 months from inception to completion.  The service is now embedded and has already delivered significant advantages to the Bank.

My first contact with Crédit Agricole CIB was during my studies for a Masters in Human Resource Management in 2007. I was kindly granted access to the Bank to carry out the research for my thesis.
