What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my recruitment and sales skills while fostering professional growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated recruitment consultant with a proven track record in sourcing and placing candidates across various levels, from junior roles to C-suite positions. My journey began at ConSol Partners, where I honed my skills in the tech recruitment space, successfully placing 15 candidates for a major project in Saudi Arabia. This experience not only enhanced my recruitment abilities but also allowed me to develop strong relationships with hiring managers and candidates alike.

In addition to my recruitment expertise, I ventured into entrepreneurship by establishing a maintenance and construction company during the COVID-19 lockdown. This initiative showcased my ability to identify market needs and adapt quickly, leading to significant business growth. My background in sales, particularly at BMW Park Lane, has equipped me with exceptional communication and negotiation skills, enabling me to effectively match client needs with suitable solutions.
