The Small Business
Talent Partner…
I’m an independent Talent Acquisition Partner based in Surrey, helping Small Businesses find, understand & develop the people they need to grow. I focus on identifying and engaging talent across specialist, management and senior-level roles within Marketing, Creative, Digital, Sales, Client Services and Business Support.
I specialise in bringing the approaches typically available to larger organisations through in-house Talent Acquisition teams and executive search firms to small businesses, giving them access to additional talent acquisition expertise and capability without the need for permanent internal headcount or the hiring budget typically required.
My talent solutions are particularly suited to helping when you’re struggling to attract the right calibre of candidates, facing a competitive talent market, hiring for a hard-to-fill role, wanting to reduce hiring costs, or finding that previous recruitment attempts haven’t delivered. Additionally, my solutions are very valuable businesses without an in-house HR or recruitment resource to manage direct hiring, as well as HR managers or small teams who need ad-hoc additional capacity and expertise.
Every assignment is personally led by me, from brief through to offer – with no handover and no parallel competing search running in the background. Whether you’re an established small business going through a period of growth, a business owner building your first team, or a creative agency needing specialist talent, I work alongside you to understand what you need and find the right people for your business.
Whatever your hiring needs or challenges, I’m here to help you find the people your business needs to grow.

The Ways I Support Your
Small Business
Flexible support when you need it designed around your business, your people & what you need to achieve:
Talent Acquisition
Flexible, hands-on Talent Acquisition support, whether as a Fractional Talent Partner or through an in-depth Periscope Search Assignment.
DISC Profiling
Gain deeper insight into how candidates & team members communicate, work & behave, supporting hiring decisions & stronger team dynamics.
Business Coaching
Practical, tailored support to help you navigate business challenges, build confidence & gain clarity around your people, priorities & growth.
Fractional Talent Partner
vs. Contingency Recruitment
A contingency recruiter is traditionally focused primarily on filling specific vacancies as they arise for a client, while a Fractional Talent Partner takes a broader view of the business and its people needs in both the short and longer term.
Rather than simply filling individual vacancies when needed, a Fractional Talent Partner works alongside the business to understand its people needs, identify and engage the right talent, and build a more proactive and long-term approach to hiring, including:
✓
End-to-End Recruitment & Hiring
✓
Talent Acquisition Strategy

Candidate Management
✓
Talent Pipelines & Pools
✓
Workforce Planning
✓
Retention & Succession
✓
Talent Market Insights
✓
Talent Projects & Initiatives
✓
Diversity & Inclusion Strategy
✓
Recruitment Processes & Systems
Whether you need support with a one-off role or talent project, help with a specific part of your hiring process, or an ongoing Talent Partner to work alongside your business on a flexible basis, I can provide as much or as little support as you need.

Elevate Your Hiring
Today
The best hire isn’t necessarily the person who is easiest to find. It’s the person who has the right experience, skills, motivation and potential for your business.
That’s why I look beyond the obvious candidates and take a more considered approach to finding people who can genuinely contribute to your team.
Not just candidates. Your people.
