Hiring an Administrator

What is an Administrator?

An administrator position can vary greatly depending on the nature and size of the business. If the business support team is smaller in size, the role is likely to be quite broad with a comprehensive range of responsibilities. These might range from receptionist/switchboard tasks to invoice processing and diary management for senior executives.

Conversely, in a larger organisation where dedicated switchboard operators, executive assistants and accounting support exist, the administrator position might be more geared towards singular support for one department. This could include filing, data entry, scanning and general maintenance of important company documentation.

ADMINISTRATOR RECRUITMENT

The recruitment of an administrator will vary depending on the requirements of the role. For example, a position with a number of repetitive tasks will likely require a candidate from a similar background who enjoys a foreseen workload. Conversely, a position with varied responsibilities would be better suited to a strong multi-tasker with the capacity to prioritise workloads.

At the briefing stage, we will meet with you face-to-face to best understand the role, the ideal experience and the required cultural fit. Additionally, we’ll determine if there are more specific skills required, such as Microsoft Office and a high data entry speed.
