2. How long have you been in recruitment?

Just over 1 year exclusively.

3. What's your favourite thing about the industry?

I like how varied it is, it’s very hard to get bored when there are so many different things keeping me busy. I also like that hard work is recognised and rewarded!

4. ...and what’s your least favourite thing?

I know its cliché, but it is very frustrating when a lot of work has gone into filling a role and building a good relationship with a candidate just for them to e-mail you at 1am to say they won’t be attending…

5. What made you want to join Dutton Recruitment?

I was looking for a career change and as I have had some experience with internal recruitment in previous roles and it was something I really wanted to explore. I researched Dutton and I thought the culture seemed like a good fit for me - pleased to say I was correct!

6. What's something you can't live without at work?

My Colleagues, they keep things interesting!

7. Tea or Coffee?

I enjoy both really, as a rule, it would be fresh coffee, tea then instant coffee.

8. What’s your favourite thing to do outside of work?

I’m excited for the weather to get better so I can start going on camping trips with the Family!

9. What is your main goal at Dutton Recruitment?

Well, my next objective is to become a consultant, start billing and making money for the business.

10. If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?

I have always wanted to visit Japan, I love the idea that the most technologically advanced cities in the world are there while they have also managed to hold on to some of the ancient culture!
