Hi, I'm Jon Aspinell. Welcome to my profile!
To excel at what I do and satisfy those I come in to contact with, as efficiently and effectively as possible. My experience - other than my degree - comes from gathering as much information on a subject as possible. I crave knowledge that will allow me to understand and complete a task or job to the fullest extent.
Jon Aspinell's Background
Jon Aspinell's Experience
Service Delivery Manager at Ashdown Group
April 2004
Service Delivery Manager for one of the UK's leading specialist recruitment companies. If you are interested in using our recruitment services or would like to work for us, please visit our website.
I am enjoying a fantastic career - within a great business, working with top colleagues and interesting employers. I hadn't really considered recruitment as an option but the way our company works focuses on consultancy and fulfilment, it therefore never feels like selling or tedium.
All of the new work that comes in to the Ashdown Group is from recommendation, repeat business or Internet advertising, so no pitching or cold-calling has ever been required.
I work hard to listen to the people around me and when recruiting for myself was able to consistently bill above target. This was achieved by building strong respectful relationships with honest and willing business managers.
Within a few months of joining I started mentoring other new recruits and within a year a forward-thinking director asked me to build and manage my own recruitment team as Service Delivery Manager.
In the last 8 years my team has always been the top performing across the business.
In the current year (2012/2013) I have given my team a very particular focus. Our plan is to ensure we maximise the effort we put in with our existing customers, adding only a minimal number of new clients. New clients are being used to grow the size of the team further by adding new Account Managers and Account Executives.
My team of 11 is very well balanced and together we look after 320 employers from across the UK. We have now billed over ?5 million, almost two million pounds more than any other Ashdown team.
In addition to my core responsibilities I project managed the new Ashdown Group website (www.ashdowngroup.com). It went live in October 2008 and currently receives 16,000 visits per month. I am currently project managing a system to better maintain contact with our candidates.
