Their achievements reflect years of consistent delivery. They have been recognised as a top one per cent people leader and have built a technology-focused TA function for EMEA within twelve months. They launched full 360 experience surveys for hiring managers and candidates, created the first TA team for EMEA in an earlier role and built a global sourcing team within six months to support rapid growth. Across their career, they have consistently reduced agency reliance and improved the capability of internal teams.
In their most recent position, they led a large, geographically dispersed team responsible for around seven hundred hires each year. They introduced an offshore sourcing group that reduced time to fill by ten per cent. They reviewed systems, improved processes, and set clear expectations for performance. They also created KPIs that helped the team stay focused and consistent, ensuring that the TA function supported both business needs and candidate expectations.
The results demonstrate the impact of their work. Time to fill reduced year on year for three years, finishing under 50 days on average. Agency usage dropped from around twenty-five per cent to under three per cent, saving close to one million pounds.
Hiring manager satisfaction increased, and candidate experience rose. They also introduced a detailed analytics dashboard that improved visibility and launched quarterly reviews that supported individual development across the team.
Before this, they held responsibility for Talent Acquisition across EMEA and APAC in a role that covered more than twenty countries. They led senior appointments, built succession pipelines and strengthened the link between workforce planning and hiring activity. They also reduced agency reliance by more than half, showing a consistent ability to build internal capability.
Their earlier experience includes building the first TA team for EMEA at a global organisation, improving brand perception and reducing hiring timelines.
