We believe in nurturing our talent and offering ample opportunities for career growth. This commitment to internal mobility empowers our employees to grow within the company and explore new roles that align with their evolving career aspirations. One such inspiring story is about the journey of a recruiter who transitioned to a Talent Acquisition Specialist within the organisation.
For many of us at ICG Medical, growth isn’t just an option—it’s a key motivator. We seek roles that allow us to stretch our abilities, challenge ourselves, and develop new skills. As one of our Talent Acquisition Specialists shared, “I have always been the type of person that works towards growth in a company so I can test my abilities and capabilities. The opportunity of being a Talent Acquisition Specialist would elevate and grow my skills to become an expert in the recruitment industry.” The journey has been both rewarding and challenging, but it's clear that ICG Medical supports career progression by allowing us to expand our skills and expertise.
My previous role as a Bookings Consultant gave me a "hunting mentality"—the drive to find the right talent in the fast-paced healthcare industry. "As a Bookings Consultant, we had to source workers within healthcare, and as a Talent Acquisition Specialist, I use that same mentality to source candidates across countries, utilising different approaches and platforms." This experience provided me with a strong foundation to source candidates efficiently, which has been essential in my current role.
Moving to the Talent Acquisition department has introduced me to a whole new set of skills. "Time management has become crucial to closing roles quickly, and I’ve had to learn patience, particularly when headhunting. Building relationships has also been critical in fostering connections with potential candidates." The ability to multitask effectively while managing numerous roles and sourcing across countries has been an invaluable part of my growth.
Transitioning roles within the same company is exciting, but it can also come with its own set of challenges. One of the most significant hurdles I faced was self-doubt—wondering if I would even be accepted for the role. “There were downfalls, being demotivated not to apply as I thought I wouldn’t be accepted,” but the support I received helped me overcome these feelings. "I approached Zara, who was my recruiter into ICG Medical, and we went through the process together, which made all the difference."
One thing I truly value about ICG Medical is its transparency when it comes to career growth. "I love how transparent we have become, allowing employees to apply internally for whatever role they want to grow in because it shows that they want to grow with the company." The company openly promotes internal mobility, allowing employees to apply for roles that align with their career goals. This openness strengthens our ties with the company, making it a place where we can continue to grow and evolve rather than looking elsewhere for new opportunities.
If you’re thinking about making an internal move at ICG Medical, my best advice would be to stay proactive. "Keep an eye on the Careers page on Viva Engage—click and subscribe for more internal posts." Internal mobility is a valuable part of our company culture, and it’s there for anyone willing to take the leap.
The move has given me a deeper understanding of the company’s commitment to nurturing internal talent. It’s also given me a broader perspective on how different departments collaborate to achieve the overall mission of ICG Medical. The level of support, both during the transfer process and in the new role, has only reinforced my belief that ICG Medical is a place where employees can thrive long-term.
Before joining ICG Medical, I worked as a bulk recruiter. Now, in this position, I have the chance to specialise and upskill within the recruitment industry. "Being in this position, I am now able to learn more about the recruitment industry and see myself growing within this field."
In my new role, I feel a strong sense of purpose in helping to grow the ICG Medical family. "My role now is to grow this family—to find potential that can be an asset to this company." By finding individuals who have the potential to be valuable contributors, I am playing my part in shaping the future of ICG Medical.
The most rewarding part of this entire experience has been the support I received throughout the process. "Seeing how Zara had my back throughout the process, advising me to ignore the negative noise, was incredibly rewarding. It wasn’t just about moving into a new role; it was about knowing I was part of a company that believes in its employees and wants to see them succeed."
We’re proud to foster an environment where internal mobility is encouraged, and where every role you take helps you grow both professionally and personally. For those considering a new opportunity within the company, remember—ICG Medical is here to support your journey every step of the way.
