After university I went to work for a large national recruitment organisation, starting at the bottom. I just wasn’t interested in building an empire. It’s all very sales orientated; the figures on the board are all that matter and you live and die by that month’s figures alone, and not by building market relationships. It’s all exceptionally target driven, KPI driven and micro managed and you’re not given the headroom to grow.
I thought there had to be more to business than this. I had a vision where I could head something up that would be purely HR recruitment, would be non- salesy and the business could come in through recommendations and word of mouth.
