Bio
Gina Bhatti
I worked along side Laura at Visa Europe. We were both on the recruitment team together and once she would place a candidate, I would on-board them into the business. Laura and I had a great working relationship and she was very helpful and always provided full information to allow the best candidate experience. It was very obviously that Laura and her candidates had built a great relationship and they would always comment on the wonderful recruitment experience they had from the start.

Laura spent her industrial placement year in our Research team and she made a very valuable contribution. Her insight, tenacity and persistence made her effective in unearthing the information that forms the basis of our search processes, and her engaging and personable approach was particularly useful in the approaches she made to candidates. I’m not at all surprised that she moved into recruitment after she graduated – and that she has progressed well since making that move. I’m sure that she’ll continue perform effectively as her involvement and responsibilities grow.
