Empowering career growth: A commitment to more than just placements.

I will never talk someone into taking one of my jobs. Obviously I want you to love the company, I probably love the company myself 😂 and if I've introduced you, it's because I can genuinely see you there. But I need you to see it too.
I've had a few conversations recently with candidates who decided to stay where they were, usually because more money was put on the table, and have since said they wish they'd made the move. And that's always hard to hear. Not because I think I told you so, but because I've been doing this long enough to know that sometimes the right career move isn't the one that pays the most money right now.
I've got people I placed 10 or 15 years ago who are still there. People who've been promoted time and time again, and people who have gone right through to Director level. That's the bit of recruitment I love.
I don't want you accepting a job because I've convinced you to. I want you to get to the end of the process, know exactly what you're walking into and be genuinely excited to say yes. Because I'm not really interested in placing someone for six months.
I want you look back in 10 years and think... that was a bloody good move.
