Principal Consultant
Mission Critical
About me:
Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, I moved to Manchester to study on exchange and decided to stay because I love the city, the people and the chicken bakes from Greggs.
On the weekends you can find me either at the pub or at a gig, I’m a huge believer in the whole “work hard, play hard” sentiment. I was drawn to recruitment because I’m a big ol’ chatterbox so it made sense for me to build a career around talking.
What do you enjoy most about working at V7 Recruitment?
V7 is a stand out because of the people and the work culture, everyone is super supportive and genuinely wants to see you succeed and there’s so much room to grow.

You Are Attracting Applicants, Not The Right Candidates One of the biggest misconceptions in hiring is the belief that more applications automatically lead to better hires. In reality, the opposite is often true. When a job advert is too broad, generic, or poorly targeted, it attracts volume instead of relevance. Hiring managers then spend hours filtering through unsustainable CVs, while genuinely qualified candidates either overlook the role entirely or disengage because the opportunity feels unclear.
