Bio
Amber Burns MCIPD
Kate and Aperture were a super support to me whilst I was working for the Maples Group as Head of Talent Acquisition, building the Global Talent Acquisition function. Kate personally supported with several senior executive hires at SVP level, in both Dublin and Hong Kong. Her ability to identify the right candidates was always accurate and cemented by her strong behavioural assessment and tools. On a several occasions she presented and placed superstar candidates/employees we had been unable to identify or headhunt via our own internal recruitment team. The ongoing success of the Talent Acquisition function was due to Aperture working in true partnership to meet our needs when designing our own internal processes, we were supported by both Kate with technical tests, behavioural testing, advisory and recruitment services over a long period of time. I would highly recommend Kate, a true business partner in enabling any business to succeed with their hiring needs across a broad spectrum of agile services offered. Kate is a great resource, fun and honest to work with she brings a lot to the table to any internal Talent Acquisition or Human Resources function she professionally partners with. Thanks again for all your help.
