Independent, flexible, agile, and with 35+ years’ recruitment experience

  • Early days as a recruitment consultant but the majority of my time in advertising and branding agencies helping clients to hire direct. So, a great appreciation of both sides of the recruitment coin
  • Solved talent and recruitment challenges across all sectors – commercial, local and central government, higher education, charities and not for profit, UK and international. I understand the candidate markets and recruitment challenges right across the spectrum
  • Experienced across all types of hiring needs from volume recruitment campaigns, graduate and apprentice schemes to senior and specialist hires
  • An authorised recruitment media buyer with a phenomenal network of freelance expertise to draw upon when required, including recruitment technology, occupational psychology, DE&I, creative services and copywriting
  • I offer a free consultation to discuss, probe and understand your challenges, then work quickly and in a flexibly priced way to help you solve them. Being independent I offer extremely good value and a real agile approach compared to big agency structures and pricing
 
“We engaged Colin for a slightly unusual recruitment need; the outsourcing of our Paraplanning needs. Colin understood and clarified our scope, researched and contacted half a dozen providers, met with them, and reviewed their services against our needs and provided a shortlist with comments and recommendations. I am delighted to say the process went quickly and smoothly, and after just a few weeks we had held direct meetings and appointed our preferred supplier.”
