About

With over 20 years’ experience in this sector, we have a vast network within the recruitment market (mainly London although we do recruit in the regions and overseas). I specialise by placing the best graduates and entry level candidates into Contingent recruitment and Executive Search. Candidates- are you looking to partner with a R2R who has the experience required to help you find your next role? Below is why you should work with me. ✔I do not need to shoehorn you into a business that you are not suited to. We have over 500 clients and last year, placed with 133 alone. ✔I listen, I advise. We get you the best firms suited to you and will hold your hand through the process. We appreciate interviewing can be daunting. We have your back and shall coach you through every stage of the process. ✔I will work around you. We are here to help, not push you around like many recruitment consultants in the market, ✔I am approachable, friendly, and importantly have been in your position. Clients- are you wanting to work with a R2R who understands your business and can sell it effectively. Would you prefer to work with a R2R who adds value and save time? Below is why you should work with me. ✔My reputation is paramount to me. I am not a recruiter who bombards you with profiles claiming every CV to be 'amazing'! ✔RULE have a vast client base. We do not send every candidate we work with to the same 10 firms. We understand what you want, and match accordingly. ✔Many of the candidates I work with, use me exclusively during their search. ✔My aim is to be an extension of your business showcasing the best talent on the market. To find out more about how I can help, whether you be a candidate looking for a new job or a client looking to hire, please get in touch ASAP to discuss in confidence.
