The roles I recruit typically begin with ‘Head of …’ or ‘Director of …’ but as a head office recruitment specialist I’ll also hire merchandisers and senior merchandisers, space planners, supply chain managers and analysts, and more.

I love recruitment. It can be hectic, but seeing the impact your actions have on clients and candidates gives you the sort of high that makes getting out of bed every day worthwhile. It becomes quite addictive.

I believe in doing the simple things right. Being personable. Honest. Genuine. They’re what everybody should be entitled to expect and they make a big difference to my ability to find the right roles for great people. Most importantly, I really want to understand my clients’ businesses and my candidates’ ambitions. Bringing the two together is how I get results.

I like to try and make my clients’ lives easier. When they’re considering heading down a recruitment blind alley, I’ll help to nudge things back on the right track. When they’re setting up a new business function, I’ll work with them to recruit every role, fast.

I’m really proud of the fact that lots of my clients say I’m their go-to recruiter.

Away from work, I’m a dad, a semi-professional footballer, a passionate cricketer and a fan of kabaddi (a team sport from India).
