What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a dynamic environment that values diversity and innovation.

I am a seasoned Talent Acquisition Manager with extensive experience across agency, RPO, and in-house recruitment environments. My career has been dedicated to delivering high-quality recruitment services for FTSE 100 organizations in various sectors, including healthcare, policing, and financial services. I excel in stakeholder management and process optimization, always striving to enhance recruitment delivery and candidate experience.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams and implemented strategic initiatives that have significantly reduced Time To Hire and improved overall recruitment metrics. My role as a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at Sopra Steria Limited allowed me to lead a team of 13, focusing on critical hires and operational management. I am passionate about mentoring diverse teams and utilizing data-driven insights to inform recruitment strategies, ensuring that we attract and retain top talent.
