A BIT ABOUT ME

Since starting out as an Agency Recruiter in 2013, I've supported dozens of mobility tech start-ups and scale-ups to fuel their maturation and march to product launch. I've held in-house tactical and leadership positions at companies including Dyson, Oxbotica and Animal Dynamics. I've spent a decade:

• Delivering the right hires, at the right time

• Building Talent functions from scratch Implementing right-sized and scalable People Tech Stacks (HRIS, ATS and Referencing Platforms) to maximise efficiency and data insights 

• Overhauling hiring processes to maximise candidate experience 

• Building development frameworks, banding structures and review cycles to support transparency, retention and development of the current team   

• Developing Employer Brand strategies - Giving small companies a clear value proposition to potential applicants

 

Some stand-out achievements: 

• Introduced critical engineering talent to Ben Ainslie Racing Ltd (now INEOS Brittania) to support their entry into the 35th America's Cup in 2017.  

• Developed an Assessment Centre format for Dyson to hire a full Prototype Build team in 3 months; a modified version of this format was subsequently introduced in SEA for the hiring of production teams. 

• Delivered 34 hires in a single quarter in the toughest market in recent history (Q1 2022) 

• Increased new hire retention rate from 40% to 90%

• Hired over 200 people for the Dyson EV programme in 25 months

• Delivered full company re-org to transition ways of working from R&D to product-led approach
