The trainee scheme is really well thought out, it’s definitely set me up for success. Plus, the office vibe is great. Everyone’s super helpful and supportive." Coming straight out of university into full-time work can be a bit daunting, but the support at Client Server made the transition feel natural.   Why Client Server? What drew Alex to Client Server was clear from the start. "After my initial chat with one of the team, it was an easy choice. They gave me real insight into what the role involved and laid out a clear progression path, which really stood out compared to other places I was looking at." That clarity and transparency made the decision to join an easy one, and it’s been the right call ever since.   Growing with the Role Client Server’s structured approach to development has been a big part of Alex’s early success. "The trainee scheme is brilliant. We’ve got dedicated trainers to get you up to speed with the world of tech recruitment. Then you move into your team, where a senior mentor keeps supporting you and helping you develop in your specialist area." This hands-on support has not only helped Alex learn recruitment but has also given him valuable tech knowledge he never expected to have.   Wins and Milestones For Alex, the most rewarding part has been the growth in confidence and capability. "I came in knowing nothing about tech, but thanks to the training and support, I’ve built up my knowledge and started making placements! That feeling of making your first deals is really motivating, it pushes you to go for more." It’s those early wins that build momentum, and Alex is already hungry for the next.   Starting in Recruitment For anyone thinking about starting their recruitment career at Client Server, Alex says, "if you want to pursue a career in recruitment, Client Server is a great place to start.
