For clients seeking a focused, high-touch approach, I work on an exclusive basis, ensuring every role receives my full attention. By limiting the number of positions I manage at any one time, I avoid competing with other recruiters and can concentrate on delivering the right candidates, not just a high volume of CVs.

How I deliver results:

• Direct approach and headhunting – proactively identifying and engaging the best talent, often before they appear on job boards.

• Recommendations and referrals – leveraging a wide network to find high-quality candidates suited to your organisation.

• Targeted advertising – ensuring your role is visible to the right audiences, with adverts crafted to attract interest and encourage applications.

• Thorough screening and shortlisting – every candidate is assessed against agreed criteria, saving you time and ensuring only the strongest profiles reach you.

This approach is practical, structured, and results-focused, applying the same proven recruitment principles regardless of sector or role seniority. Whether you’re hiring for volume, senior management, or executive positions, I aim to deliver candidates who are the right fit for your team and your organisation.

By taking a #NoNonsenseRecruitment approach, I focus on providing a smooth, transparent process that protects your brand, enhances candidate experience, and ultimately leads to better hires, faster.

Have a number of roles to fill? Struggling with high volumes, difficult-to-fill positions, or tight deadlines? I can step in and become an extension of your team, hitting the ground running to resolve any recruitment challenges.

With over 40 years’ experience across public, private, and third-sector organisations, I have supported employers ranging from SMEs and charities to multi-site, complex organisations such as the London Borough of Hillingdon, The Planning Inspectorate, Trinity Care Group, G4S, Optical Express, and Facility Associates.

What I offer as part of your in-house team:

• Practical, day-to-day recruitment support – from posting roles to shortlisting, screening, and interview coordination.

• Strategic recruitment planning – reducing time to hire, optimising agency spend, and improving retention.

• Management of recruitment partners – ensuring agencies deliver efficiently and cost-effectively.

• Specialist sourcing for volume, senior, and executive roles – finding the right candidates for the right positions.

• Flexible integration with your existing processes – supporting your team without disruption, whether for a few weeks, months, or on a longer-term basis.

• Project-based recruitment programmes – delivering end-to-end recruitment projects tailored to your organisation’s size, budget, and priorities.

I operate under the #NoNonsenseRecruitment approach: practical, clear, and results-focused, providing cost-effective support that delivers measurable impact for your business, your team, and your candidates.

With full ICO registration and an up-to-date DBS, I am ready to start immediately where checks are required, providing seamless recruitment support that feels like a natural extension of your team.

I offer support with:

With my support, you can focus on making the right hiring decisions without losing top talent along the way.

I work with your team to develop skills and processes that improve recruitment outcomes and create a stronger candidate experience. Training is practical, hands-on, and tailored to your organisation’s needs.

Areas of focus include:

Training is delivered in a hands-on, supportive way, ensuring your team can immediately apply what they learn. The goal is always to empower your people, strengthen your internal recruitment capability, and improve outcomes across every hire.

Letting people go?

Supporting employees through redundancy or transition is just as important as hiring. I can take that task off your plate, helping your team members move forward with dignity and confidence. My services include:
