In my new role with STAR, I hope to be able to share what I have learnt in previous experiences to support our clients, assist in growing their business with our renowned recruitment practices, along with providing a stress free journey to both clients and candidates.
We are now post pandemic and whilst the current climate is a challenging one, STAR will continue to grow further. I will identify growth opportunities allowing us to diversify within Property, Sales and supporting industries. We have seen so many businesses change and adapt throughout the last few years, it is vital for us to recognise where we can support and add value in tough markets and stand out as leaders in our field whilst retaining STARs bespoke and personal style of recruitment”
