Our Founder

 

At the age of 22, after studying HR Management, I joined the Recruitment Industry. What followed was a successful and incredibly fulfilling career, a career with an Industry Leader that challenged me and taught me everything I know.

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined falling in love with an Industry I never knew existed before, but I did, and along the way I learnt about discipline, delivery, best practice, business, people, leadership and offering excellent service.

Today, 21 years later, I’m please to introduce you to Square 1 Recruitment, a company born from pure Passion for the Recruitment Industry.

My Vision is to build a Recruitment Company, that above all else makes life easier for the clients we serve and memorable for the candidates we assist.

I Work Hard and Dream Big, my success is yours and I look forward to working with you.
