v7 Recruitment

About me:

I’ve worked in recruitment across both the UK and international markets, with a big part of my career involving placing people into roles overseas, including across Scandinavia.

More recently, I’d been focused mainly on the UK, so joining V7 gives me the chance to get back into the international side of recruitment, which is something I’ve always really enjoyed.

I’m now a Principal Consultant within the permanent Data Centre team, working alongside Claire and recruiting across the market internationally. There’s a lot about the sector that feels familiar because of the technical and construction-focused roles I’ve worked with before, but there’s also plenty that’s new. It’s a market that’s growing quickly, there’s a lot happening globally and that makes it an interesting space to be working in.

Outside of work, I’m a big Everton fan and used to play plenty of football myself, although these days I’m more likely to be found on a golf course. When it comes to films, Goodfellas and The Godfather are all up there for me, so there’s definitely a bit of a theme.

What attracted you to V7 Recruitment?

A big part of it was the opportunity to get back into international recruitment.

I’ve always enjoyed working across different countries, speaking to people in different markets and the variety that comes with that. After spending the last few years focused more on the UK, I was keen to get back to doing more overseas work.

Data Centres was another big draw. A lot of the roles and people within the sector overlap with areas I’ve recruited into before, so I can bring that experience with me while getting involved in a market that’s moving quickly and has a lot going on internationally.

For me, it felt like a really good opportunity to combine the parts of recruitment I already know and enjoy with something a bit different.

The September Surge Has Changed: What the UK Job Market in 2026 Means for Q4 Hiring

By Josh Ramsay • September 18, 2026
September has always had a reputation for waking the jobs market back up. Summer holidays end, decision-makers return and hiring conversations that went quiet in July and August start moving again. For employers, it can feel like the obvious point to get recruitment moving before the final few months of the year. But the September surge isn’t as predictable as it used to be. Advertised UK vacancies actually fell month-on-month in two of the last three Septembers. At the same time, the wider UK job market in 2026 has softened, with fewer vacancies overall and more candidates available for work. On paper, that should make Q4 hiring easier. For some roles, it probably does. For specialist hiring, it’s not quite that simple. In this article, we look at what the latest UK labour-market data tells us about September hiring, why specialist recruitment can still be difficult in a softer market and what that means for employers heading into Q4.
