Celia Mounsey — Recruiter
As an international Recruiter with over 15 years of experience in both in-house and agency settings, I am passionate about connecting people and fostering meaningful, lasting partnerships. From aviation to technology, Emiratisation, and beyond, I’ve led recruitment campaigns and teams across diverse sectors, building strategies that align with company goals and future growth. My career has taken me around the globe, allowing me to recruit top talent and lead teams in London, Edinburgh, Sydney, and Dubai. I believe that a company’s true value lies in its people. Sourcing elite talent is not just a job, but a responsibility—to future-proof a company’s success and drive innovation. I’m passionate about building diverse, inclusive teams and ensuring equity at every stage of the hiring process. By promoting a culture of fairness and belonging, I help create workplaces that thrive. Developing and upskilling my teams is central to my work. I foster a growth mindset in those around me, supporting career development and helping individuals through transitions. Having lived on five continents—calling cities like Edinburgh, Hong Kong, Sydney, New York, Singapore, Doha and now Dubai home—my global experiences have shaped me into a culturally aware, open-minded professional who values cross-cultural communication and collaboration. LinkedIn has been a powerful tool in my journey, helping me connect with diverse professionals, build relationships, and promote both personal and corporate brands. I believe in using this platform to create opportunities for dialogue and growth. Outside of work, I’m deeply invested in gender equality, environmental sustainability, and the wellbeing of future generations—values I champion both as a parent of two daughters and as a professional. My passion for mental and physical wellbeing has led me to complete certifications in teen and kids yoga, allowing me to integrate holistic wellness into my professional and personal life. I am committed to supporting women returning to the workforce and advocating for more inclusive workplaces that prioritize wellbeing.
