I take pride in providing a fully transparent candidate experience and enjoy getting to know the individual to ensure the role and company is right for their wants and needs. Strong believer in a data driven approach and in leading by example. Genuine interest in the psychology of recruitment, why we make the choices we make and how it could affect our choices moving forward. Key Skills:Sourcing Strategy NegotiationCandidate Relationship buildingBusiness Partnering Business DevelopmentMarket analysis and mapping MentoringResilience and adaptabilityDriver of ChangeI am currently doing an Apprenticeship on Business Analysis and AI and really interested in the ways AI is affecting recruitment. Outside of work I have a slight (some say ) obsession with rock climbing and am big into fitness. Very interested in different personality types and how we all process information and emotion differently - I really enjoyed reading the "Surrounded by idiots" book (insert nerd emoji here! haha). Full-on coffee addict and house-plant enthusiast! I am always keen to chat careers and lend an ear, even if you are unsure of exactly what you want! Just reach out.
