OUTSIDE OF WORK, TELL US ABOUT you.
I’d say I’m easily pleased. My spare time tends to be filled with repeat comedy series’, long-distance running, and full-time puppy training. Although I’d love to say I’m a cultured traveller, there’s nothing I love more than the noise of a big city or the tranquillity of white beaches and cocktails.
Besides the normal day-to-day, I love trying out mini startup ideas and they can often stem from anywhere. Most recently found myself working with a few friends on bespoke table furniture (completely random, I know), although tech is my passion. I like keeping in the loop with upcoming crowdfunding opportunities and trying to spot the next big product.
SOMETHING NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU:
When I was 12 years old, I starred in a music video for a Russian pop star with over 700,000 hits on YouTube.
WHAT GOT YOU INTO RECRUITMENT?
Timing more than anything. After four years in retail management, I wanted to get my head around the B2B space. I’ve always been a techie, so digital recruitment seemed like the best of both worlds!
WHAT WOULD YOU IMPROVE THE MOST ABOUT THE INDUSTRY?
I’d like to make recruitment a normal, human activity. The industry has become too caught up on inputs, targets, and corporate guidelines. It sounds cliche, but people should come first, everything else is a matter of formality.
CHILDHOOD HERO:
David Beckham. We shared the same birthday, road, school, and football team. Although it’s safe to say that we didn’t quite follow the same path.
