I have been fortunate enough to recently join the exceptional team at Ryan & Alexander as a Sourcing Consultant. My role is to support Bernadette with her Executive searches; yet with my extensive recruitment background I have also been able to pick up and run my own roles.
Like many, my career in recruitment began on my OE in London. I enjoyed my time in London recruiting temporary and contract roles into the Legal field and there was no doubt in my mind that I would continue in the industry upon my return to New Zealand. When I joined Robert Walters in Auckland, I got my first taste of permanent recruitment as I was Manager for the Finance Permanent division. Working on Senior permanent roles within the greater Auckland area set me in good stead to make the next move in my career in-house, as Talent Acquisition Manager for ANZ. Here I was responsible for the Executive recruitment and supported and managed a team of Talent Acquisition Specialists. I was with ANZ for nearly eight years and by the end I had three children and had moved to Tauranga!
Ryan & Alexander have offered me a great opportunity to return to work in a part time capacity which works well with my young family. I am loving getting to know the friendly people and successful businesses in the sunny Bay of Plenty and I look forward to working with more of you.
