Main sponsor of Jobs Expo Cork, BCS Recruitment, will be talking to candidates inside Cork City Council's Concert Hall on Saturday 23rd November. Discover great career opportunities through their recruitment team.
About BCS
BCS are the sponsors and organisers of the Jobs Expo. Since 2012, they have run highly successful careers events in Cork, Dublin, and Galway twice a year. They are also the team behind Virtual Expos Ireland. BCS are returning to Cork for November 2019.
“One of the major benefits of Jobs Expo is that it allows employees and employers to meet and discuss career opportunities in a relatively informal setting,” says Bronagh Cotter of BCS. “Attendees can meet a variety of employers, and employers can conduct several initial interviews with potential employees. Furthermore, for recruitment firms like BCS, Jobs Expo is a chance to connect with candidates and companies.”
On the day, BCS Recruitment team can offer guidance to jobseekers on a variety of topics such as interview techniques and professional growth. Their jobseeker services are there to avail of for anybody on the lookout for employment.
“Many jobseekers are unsure how to sell themselves to employers. Even if they have all the necessary skills and experience, they can have trouble communicating that. Some candidates underestimate the importance of soft skills, and fail to highlight these,” she contends.
Successful Recruitment Benefits Companies and Candidates
Successful recruitment should create a mutually beneficial relationship between candidates and companies, says Bronagh.
“We aim to find the best fit for both employees and employers. Companies want more than just an employee with skills and experience. They want staff who fit into their company’s culture. It is much the same for jobseekers, particularly if they have in-demand skills. Of course, salary is a consideration, but it is not the only one. Depending on their circumstances, their priority could be the potential for promotion, the chance to upskill, travel opportunities or work-life balance,” she explains.
“Therefore, we match a candidate’s goals and expectations with the right company. It is our firm belief that it is not a job well done unless both the candidate and company benefit. We spend so much of our lives are at work. That means that finding the right fit is crucial.”

About Tracy
Tracy Geraghty is a mindset coach, her passion is helping others life easier lives with less
complications and problems, leaving more time for pursuits that bring joy and fulfillment.
Over the years she has discovered a natural ability towards problem solving and reinvention,
but it didn’t come easily!
She started her career as a Nurse and after 10 years in a variety of roles she moved into the
Pharmaceutical sector where she worked as a Medical Sales Representative for over 13
years.
Then a series of life changing events lead to a major shift in circumstances. Starting with the
break down of her marriage, then being made redundant and faced with becoming a single
parent of two small children. Her son had also been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease around
this time and required regular medical intervention and home schooling when he had a flare
up.
The whole process took a major toll but it never stopped her from working to create a
successful future for herself and her children. It took a few years to get back up on her feet
again and her first venture was running workshops on Interview Technique for teenagers in
schools. Her interest in personal development, and a strong desire to help others who have
underestimated their potential, lead her to pursue a career as a Life Coach and she is
trained in Strategic Intervention through the Robbins Madanes coaching school.
