I decided I wanted to work in recruitment when…
I trained as a teacher initially at University, however within the first few months of my probation year I realised it wasn’t for me. After a short stint travelling round South East Asia, my friend recommended a job in recruitment and the rest is history!
I joined the MM Search team…
I joined at the start of August. I was recommended the company by one of my previous bosses and after meeting Ken and Derek and hearing the vision for the company, particularly the opportunity to grow the IT/Tech division and make it my own, I knew it was the role for me!
The first thing I do when I get to the office is…
Try to get to grips with the coffee machine for my coffee fix – I will get the hang of it one day!
My working day involves…
I spend a lot of my day connecting with newly funded tech startups and SMEs, advising on their senior talent acquisition and assisting where I can. I also actively manage my extensive network, proactively supporting clients and candidates in their senior hiring strategies.
My greatest professional strength is…
I am very good at reading people which helps me adapt to any situation I am put in.
The highlight of my career so far was when…
In my previous role, I led an extensive project to encourage women into tech roles. With a targeted campaign, we placed over 150 candidates and opened up opportunities for those who may not have applied otherwise. It was a rewarding achievement and one I consider to be a highlight of my career so far!
The thing I love most about working with the MM Search team…
Everyone in the team is so driven and motivated which his extremely exciting to work amongst. While everyone has their own set goals, we very much work together as a tight knit team, supporting and collaborating to help each other meet our goals.
When I’m not in work, you’ll usually find me…
Either teaching hot yoga, planning my next trip or with my cat, Simon.
My motto is…
Everything happens for a reason…
My goals for 2023…
To establish myself as the go to person for senior IT roles across Scotland and the UK.
My secret skill/party piece is…
I can hold a head stand for 10 minutes – PS don’t try this at home, I am a trained professional!
