By leaning in, we discovered new opportunities, expanded on what we were doing well and got rid of what wasn’t so good… Overall, we’ve been through lots of internal change over the last 18 months: investing in new verticals, training, D&I, automation, bespoke CRM, new processes & procedures and finally a new brand that really represents who we are and where we’re going. We’ve reimagined what recruitment can be, to support clients and candidates on their journeys.”
