Tell us about your career progression to date

I started my career in recruitment in 2019 as a Consultant. In 2020 Covid hit and I was on furlough for almost a year. As of April this year, I am now a Senior Consultant  and am working towards becoming a Business Manager. 

What made you join Morgan Hunt?

I was originally registered as a candidate who was lost after graduating in Journalism. A recruiter from Morgan Hunt service called me and I went in to meet with them to discuss my career journey. After speaking with them, I was so impressed by their level of customer service. Having worked in the marketing and journalism industry, I knew I had the skills to become a recruiter. I asked if there were any jobs opening and I was interviewed on the day I registered. I knew I wanted to change the perception of recruitment and I joined Morgan Hunt for this very reason.

What do you enjoy most about your desk/sector?

I wouldn’t work for any other sector other than the Social Care sector. With lived experience of poor mental health, I have always been passionate about the sector and what services can do to help those struggling. I am proud to say I can help mental health charities recruit and find passionate members of staff. It is an incredibly rewarding position and it’s a fantastic thing to not only get people roles, but get people roles in services that really matter.

What is it like working for Morgan Hunt?

Morgan Hunt is a great organisation who allows you to be yourself. Recruitment is what you make of it and you have to put the effort in to build your own business. This gives me a sense of responsibility and accomplishment. We work hard but we also know that looking after our mental health is important. We provide fantastic customer service and we are specialists in our sector.

Why would you recommend us to a potential candidate?

Morgan Hunt gets to know all of their candidates. All recruiters call and have a conversation with you to get to know you. We don’t judge your CV, we get to know your personality, what you’re capable of and where you see your future. We are there to provide advice and support, it’s not all about the job, it’s about you. 

Why would you recommend us to a potential client?

We are specialists in our markets. We chose the sectors that suited us and our personalities. We are passionate about providing great customer service and we are honest. We have been going for over two decades and have built a fantastic rapport with clients. We are the go-to for many roles due to our commitment and resilience to getting the job filled.
