Candidate & Client
Meet your specialist HR recruiters.
“During my 18+ year recruitment career, I’ve built up an outstanding reputation locally for making sure the right person is hired first time. On the odd occasion people ask me how I do it, I tell them that my primary objective is always to understand the needs of the client, their business culture, and the ambitions and personality type of the candidate. And from there, you start to get a picture of which candidates and clients will be a good fit. It sounds simple but there is a talent to our process!
Over the years, I’ve built up great relationships with clients, and I simply love working with them. When you work with me, you get a recruiter who’s as invested in your success as you are.”
“With 3 years experience in recruitment and a extensive background in retail, I bring my strong customer service and people orientated approach to my work.
Over the years I’ve honed my skills in relationship building, both with candidates and clients. I take pride in my ability to understand their needs and match them with the perfect opportunities. My fast-paced and rewarding role allows me to make a positive impact in the lives of professionals and businesses alike.
When I am not at work I love spending time with my family and my puppy Reggie, going on new adventures and eating good food!”
