Consultant’s Stories
I joined in 2009 having just returned to the UK after 10 years recruiting in Australia. After 3 years I decided I wanted a complete career change and left to become a teacher – but it turned out I very much preferred recruitment to teaching! I had kept in touch with many of my colleagues during my 12 month ‘sabbatical’ and it was fantastic to be welcomed back to Talentedge and restart my recruitment career with colleagues I had already worked with and clients/candidates who were familiar. Over the years I’ve forged some really great long-lasting friendships here and it’s great to work with like-minded people that you also really enjoy socialising with – which you can do as much of or as little as you want to do here.
I actually started my career working in accountancy before moving into finance recruitment seven years ago. I joined Talentedge as a consultant in 2015, specialising in permanent recruitment for the tech sector. Back then it was a new area for Talentedge and it’s taken a lot of work to build up a completely new client and candidate base. So it was really satisfying when the desk got so established that I was asked to manage a stand-alone Tech team. I think the best thing about Talentedge is that they’re not afraid to let consultants try something new and they give you the time and support you need to do that.
