Bio
Tyler Greene
Kate was my manager while employed in Approach People and I have to say she was the best manager I have ever had. she really pushed me to become the top recruiter on the team and we got along so well. She is always willing to go the extra mile for her team and we always felt like a strong unit. I have learnt so much from her and still use a lot of it in my current role.

Kate has showcased her recruiting talent during our business networking in a recent role. Her expertise and professionalism sets her apart and it was a pleasure working with her throughout the recruitment cycle. Businesses and individuals would benefit from having an individual like Kate on their team as she sees people as individuals and not just a number as this was evident in the way in which she works and communicates. Truly a spectacular individual.
