Conversations with Senior Recruiter, Charlotte

Overview

Conversations with Senior Recruiter, Charlotte. In the “Conversations with TA” series, we spotlight a Senior Recruiter who has made a significant impact on the Talent Acquisition team at Rentokil Terminix. The piece focuses on recruiting for field management positions, with Charlotte Marks sharing insights for candidates interested in applying.

What initially inspired you to pursue a recruiting role at Rentokil Terminix? "To be fully transparent, I was just looking for another opportunity, because I felt I had hit the ceiling in my role at the time. Now, here I am 11 years later. The challenge, change, and opportunity to give back to the community where I live and work keep me motivated while meeting and exceeding deliverables."

What’s a common interview mistake that’s easy to fix? Not answering the question asked. Listen with intent to provide a detailed answer that covers the situation/task, action, and result. Candidates should avoid generic claims like "I am a strong communicator" without concrete examples of how they demonstrate those skills.

How can candidates leave a lasting impression with hiring managers? Arrive prepared 5–7 minutes early, dress in business casual (for in-person or virtual), have a resume ready, research the company, ask relevant questions, inquire about next steps, and request a business card or email to send a thank-you note.
