  • Work at pace to create momentum, driving roles from stagnation to shortlist.
  • Partner with hiring managers and HR to challenge assumptions, recalibrate expectations, and unblock decision‑making.
  • Operate across multiple roles simultaneously, prioritising impact over activity.

  • Collaborate closely with sourcing teams to deliver high‑quality, ready‑to‑hire pipelines.

  • Act as a catalyst for change — influencing how we approach difficult hiring challenges in the future.
