Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I can help with all things talent acquisition. Whether you need a recruitment strategy, help with a specific hiring project, salary benchmarking, or even support with interviews and onboarding - I’m here to make the process smoother, smarter, and more effective.

I don’t work like a traditional recruitment agency. There are no sky-high placement fees or commission-based targets - just honest, practical support tailored to your needs. Think of me as your own personal recruitment partner, giving you the tools and expertise to hire the right people in the best way for your business.

I work with independent HR consultants who need extra hands-on support with client recruitment projects, as well as SMEs - both those without dedicated in-house recruitment teams and those with but who need additional support with specific projects. Whether it’s implementing a recruitment strategy, improving hiring processes, or managing a high-volume or hard-to-fill role, I help businesses deliver a consistently positive experience for candidates.   No matter what stage you're at, we can explore how I can best support you.

I’ve worked across a wide range of industries, including utilities, retail, travel, charities, pharmaceuticals, logistics, packaging & manufacturing, marketing & design and professional services. Whatever your sector, I take the time to understand your unique hiring challenges and tailor my support accordingly.

It’s really simple! We’ll start with a chat about what you need and what’s currently working (or not) in your hiring process. Then, I’ll suggest a plan tailored to your business, and we’ll take it from there. You’ll always know exactly what’s happening and how I’m supporting you.
