Why Work With Me...
| Passionate About Supporting Those Making A Difference:
Since leaving corporate, my work has been intentionally niche, partnering with purpose-driven & impact-led founders/start-ups, small businesses & organisations. I recently founded Periscope Talent with a clear mission: to help purpose-driven, impact-led businesses & organisations access exceptional talent and build stronger teams — without big-agency costs. I work closely with founders/business owners, leaders & HR/TA teams who care deeply about both impact and performance, supporting them to make strategic hiring decisions that drive long-term growth & impact.
| Hiring Experience Across Roles & Seniority:
I’ve recruited across a wide range of roles and seniority levels — including Sales, Marketing/Digital, Account Management, Talent & Literary Agents, FMCG Field Sales/Marketing, Business Support/Admin, Fundraising, Public Sector, Volunteers, Grads & occasional Finance, Insurance, IT/Tech. This wide-ranging experience has equipped me to understand diverse hiring needs and tailor strategies for different markets. I’ve supported businesses through growth phases, specialist searches & high-volume campaigns – I bring proven expertise & flexibility to deliver results that align with your business goals.
| Depth of Recruitment/TA Expertise & Perspective:
With over 20 years’ experience in recruitment/talent acquisition, I have worked across agency recruitment, in-house direct hiring, freelance consultancy and embedded talent partner roles. This breadth gives me a strategic, well-rounded view of hiring challenges and enables me to adapt my approach to deliver solutions that fit your organisation’s unique needs. Along with finding exceptional active talent, I specialise in uncovering high-quality passive talent, including individuals with transferable skills beyond traditional sectors. I also provide market insights to help you stay ahead in a competitive hiring market.
| Collaborative & Insight-Led Approach:
My approach is ethical, collaborative and insight-driven, focused on making the right hire rather than ‘any’ hire – helping to make each decision purposeful and aligned with your mission, values and long-term goals. As a certified DISC Profiling Practitioner, and trained in coaching skills, I bring behavioural insight into recruitment & team development, helping organisations understand dynamics, identify strengths & gaps, and make purposeful hiring decisions that strengthen teams & support sustainable growth. I also translate these insights into practical steps that improve long-term team performance.
