Hayley Ramm - The Efficient Elephant

Issue 103

HR and Recruitment Support Specialist.

With a name like Hayley Ramm she was destined to work in Human Resources. For HR you need HR!

Anyway, that’s probably a bit convoluted so she came up with something more fun.

The Efficient Elephant.

And why an elephant, well because her personality type is caring, cautious, critical and creative who loves to follow systems and guidelines.

Hayley has many years of experience in HR & Recruitment, working within a range of sectors from the Motor Industry, Call Centre Sector to Manufacturing organisations which have each helped her to gain valuable HR skills and qualifications whilst living, breathing and delivering throughout the employee life cycle.

During her career Hayley recognised how demanding the days can be for HR & Recruitment professionals, as they are often required to deliver on operational, strategic and project levels.

With this in mind, Hayley spotted a niche in the market to become a freelance HR & Recruitment Support Specialist so that she could help tackle the To Do lists of those busy professionals.

The Efficient Elephant was born nine years ago and has lived through the challenges of running a business with a young family, survived the challenges of running a business whilst battling breast cancer and experienced the challenges of pivoting a business during the global pandemic.

Hayley explained how these challenges can now all be seen as positives, they have shaped her and her business, focusing her to provide outstanding efficient service to her clients every step of the way.

Hayley is now excited to be building momentum in her business, enjoying being a mentor for The Princes Trust and proud to have completed a recent qualification of Accredited Certificate in Coaching. The progression in her business and learning has cemented her plans to add further services to The Efficient Elephant, which will include SME Business Coaching and Career Coaching, so watch this space!

“My number one aim is to make the lives of HR and Recruitment Consultants easier,” said Hayley. “I remove the day-to-day but very necessary aspects of someone’s work and let them focus on the important task of running their departments or their business.”

Unlike an elephant, Hayley won’t like to blow her own trumpet, but by going onto her LinkedIn page you will be able to flick through some amazing testimonials…there are dozens of them…they’ll give you a clear view of what she does and how well she does it.

For example, Suzanna Elderbrant, a leadership development specialist said…

“Hayley has been an absolute godsend to me at a time where my business commitments have meant I needed to be client facing with a strong external coaching focus. I had some requirements that would have taken me hours to complete. Hayley had the ability to take those requirements and add both her personal and professional touch.”

Or how about Market Research Agency founder, Natasha McDonough…

“Hayley produced CVs for us to include in tenders and proposal submissions. She understood the brief and then delivered – with icing on top! A selection of Business CVs to choose from, all delivered to meet our tight deadline.”

And then there’s this from recruitment business owner Laura Gillespie…

“When my business started to take off quicker than I expected I knew I needed some extra support on a freelance basis. I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough, she is like a breath of fresh air, who has calmly taken over the things that I don’t like to do, leaving me to get on with my day job!”

Praise indeed, but that’s a just a snapshot of what Hayley Ramm can do for you.

“My background has seen me working for companies such as Benfield Motors, Capita Resourcing, NSK, and Solutions Recruitment,” adds Hayley. “I take care of your contract amends, produce employee survey analysis, create essential HR document templates, research employee benefits, write reports following investigations, support online employee meetings, design handbooks, review policies…the sort of HR work that can all be done in the background. I work remotely for my clients, so that I can really focus on their projects and complete their work effectively and efficiently, without all the interruptions they may face in their own office.”

“When it comes to recruitment I write recruitment strategies, draft job adverts, produce job descriptions, compile relevant interview questions with scoring systems which are all specific to the vacancy and of course to the culture of the business. I put everything together and then send all of the information to my client for their final tweaking and approval.”

“I work alongside HR & Recruitment professionals who are in the need of an extra pair of hands to help them get through a busy period. This frequently happens when a company is growing, and they just need that extra specialist support to get them through their volume of work, their project, or their expansion period.”
