The challenges I’m most often asked to support with include: • Outdated recruitment processes impacting time-to-hire and candidate experience • Fragmented systems, spreadsheets, and unreliable management information • Rising job board spend and over-reliance on external advertising • CRM, ATS, or VMS implementations that haven’t delivered as expected • Productivity gaps across recruitment, operations, and sales teams • Post-acquisition integration and operational realignment • Moving from 360 recruitment into MSP or RPO services without a clear operating model With over 20 years’ experience in the recruitment and staffing industry, including serving as COO for the UK arm of a global staffing firm, I bring a pragmatic, commercially grounded approach to every engagement. I typically support clients through diagnostic reviews, operational audits, change and transformation programmes, always with a focus on outcomes rather than theory.
