A Career at CBSbutler: Employee Insights from Chloe Manerowski, Key Account Executive

August 29, 2024

Chloe, can you start by telling us a bit about your background and what led you to CBSbutler?

Sure! I joined CBSbutler nearly three years ago in September. Before that, I spent ten years out of recruitment running my own Pilates business and raising my three children. Prior to my break, I worked in IT recruitment in London for eight years, where I progressed quickly to a director role. Coming back to recruitment was a bit nerve-wracking, but it's been the best decision I’ve made.

How has the flexibility at CBSbutler helped you as a working mum?

I work from home two days a week, and as long as I meet my weekly hours, my manager is happy. This flexibility is crucial for balancing work with my responsibilities as a mum. 

What has your career progression been like at CBSbutler?

When I first joined CBSbutler, I wasn't sure what level to come in at. I started as a senior resourcer and was promoted to an account executive role within six to nine months. This role involves more client interaction, which I enjoy. I am now working towards an account management position, which I hope to achieve by the end of the year.

How would you describe the company culture at CBSbutler?

The culture at CBSbutler is one of the best I've experienced. It's a supportive and friendly environment where everyone is willing to help each other. Even though recruitment can be quite individualistic, there's a strong sense of team spirit. The variety of work and the opportunity to collaborate across different divisions make it a very enjoyable place to work.

What would you say to other working mums considering a career in recruitment?

I would encourage them to give it a try. CBSbutler, in particular, is very supportive of working mums. The skills you develop as a parent—like problem-solving and multitasking—are incredibly valuable in recruitment. It's a career where you can use your previous experience and learn on the job.

Chloe Manerowski's journey is just one example of the many success stories at CBSbutler. If you’re looking for a career that offers great support, and the chance to make a real impact, consider joining our team.
