Having worked alongside some of the most remarkable businesses in the industry, I have gained a skill set that allows me to relate to businesses owners and management in a truly unique way. Understanding the dynamics of business; the needs of start-up businesses and SMEs; and the benefits and challenges that owners, management, and private equity/venture capitalists face is at the heart of what I do. I truly believe that a company’s success is a direct reflection of the team it recruits, develops, sustains, and grows, and look forward to working with new clients to help build the right team. In today’s climate, people are demanding more flexibility from their workplace and the recruitment market is adapting to cater to this. As a result of overseeing other companies and setting up my own successful business, I understand these changes and love to work with clients to ensure they have a flexible structure in place for new team members. While many start-ups and SMEs may not have the budget for a full-time inhouse recruiter, I can work with clients on individual recruitment projects or campaigns, and together we ensure you attract the very best people to your company. With extensive experience, the highest level of integrity, and a supportive, knowledgeable, and resilient nature, I have developed deep working relationships with clients and candidates. So, if you are recruiting and need the best people, or are considering your next career move, I’d love to hear from you. Over 90% of the new companies and candidates I work with are a result of positive referrals which continue to drive the growth of my business today.
