Katie joined the Starbucks TA team at a considerably busy transformational period. She was able to get to grips with a diverse load of reqs and supported our senior leadership team with key hires. Katie shows a tenacity to achieve results and builds relationships quickly. Katie is great fun to work with and I wish her well for future roles!

Katie is incredibly astute and intelligent in her sourcing methodologies and relationship building. She picks things up remarkably quickly and has an emotional intelligence to understand what is needed and anticipates trends and candidate forecasts. I highly recommend Katie as a member of your team, she is down to earth, inclusive, intelligent and keeps everyone going when times get stressful and testing.

      3 month contract Mixed Roles - Education I was interviewing and placing people for the following roles: Business Development, Head of Marketing, Marketing Manager, Head of CRM, Publishers, New Business Director, Data and Statistics and Events. The main reason for me coming into the business was to alleviate the pressure and responsibility of the recruitment influx away from HR and solely occupy this role and manage it within a three month time frame. My role was to work with already chosen agencies, manage expectations and rates, choose which CV's we took forward into interview stage and arrange the interviews along with sitting in the interviews and contributing from an advisory position and finally moving into a placement with a realistic placement and salary framework.

      Mixed Roles - Healthcare As a member of the inhouse team of the ICS group, I was allocated a certain number of brands under the ICS umbrella to work with. The roles were mainly team leader or recruitment consultancy based. We did not use any external agencies and therefore relied on job boards, from which I wrote all of my own adverts and implemented a word of mouth, a referral and a social media scheme to onboard as many suitable personnel as possible.

      Healthcare My role at HCL was a Resourcer, for anyone not familiar with the Recruitment term, I basically head-hunted healthcare professionals; it's an incredibly important role and requires a friendly and warm approach that is engaging and powerful for both parties. My background in Healthcare helped me make the decision to go back into the industry and truth be told, I missed the personal touch the Healthcare Industry provides. As a Company, they are large scale and dominant in the healthcare industry. Show less
