Why Work With Me...
| Depth of Talent Acquisition Expertise & Perspective:
With over 20 years’ experience in recruitment and talent acquisition, I’ve worked across agency recruitment, in-house hiring, and fractional 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 tailored to each organisation’s unique needs. Alongside sourcing exceptional active candidates, I specialise in uncovering high-quality passive talent, including individuals with transferable skills beyond traditional sectors. Having supported businesses through growth phases, specialist searches and high-volume campaigns, I bring proven expertise, flexibility and market insight to deliver results aligned with your business goals.
| Broad Experience Hiring Across Roles, Sectors & Levels:
I’ve had the privilege of supporting and successfully recruiting for purpose-driven & mission-led founders and organisations including: The Coaching Academy, Bev James Management & Literary Agency, Holly & Co (founded by Holly Tucker), Jimmy’s Iced Coffee & Love Corn (via LSA Rec), and volunteer recruitment for HTB Church/Alpha. My experience spans a wide range of sectors, seniority levels & roles such as: Sales, Marketing, PR, Events, Talent & Literary Agents, FMCG & Beauty Brands, Digital/Creative, Training, Public Sector, Fundraising, Admin, Volunteers, Grads & some Finance/Tech. This breadth of experience allows me to quickly build a clear understanding of your hiring needs & deliver the right candidates across a wide range of roles.
| Collaborative & Insight-Led Approach:
My approach is collaborative and insight-driven, focused on making the right hire rather than ‘any’ hire – combining an early background in contingency recruitment with a more embedded, long-term Talent Partner approach, partnering closely with leaders to guide hiring decisions aligned with their mission, values and business goals. As a certified DISC Profiling Practitioner, and trained in coaching skills, I also bring behavioural insight into hiring & team development, helping organisations understand dynamics, identify strengths & gaps, and make well-informed hiring decisions that strengthen teams and support sustainable growth. I translate these insights into practical steps that improve long-term team performance.
| Passionate About Supporting Those Making A Difference:
Since leaving the agency recruitment world, my work has naturally leaned towards partnering with smaller, purpose-driven founders and organisations, supporting them as a Talent Partner. I really enjoy working with those who want to make a difference, whether through social or environmental change, or through innovative products and services, helping them find talented people who contribute to long-term growth. Alongside this, I find it highly rewarding supporting candidates who are at a crossroads or feeling unfulfilled, helping them move into more meaningful roles where they can make a genuine contribution. I’m particularly motivated by being part of people finding their place within organisations where they can thrive.
