Interim Recruitment
I’m an experienced interim recruiter offering flexible, hands-on recruitment support to businesses that need an extra pair of skilled hands — without the long-term commitment. Whether you're scaling quickly, relocating, need parental leave cover or navigating a busy hiring season, I can step in and hit the ground running.
With a strong background in end-to-end recruitment across multiple industries, I bring a practical, results-driven approach to every role I take on. Take a look at some of my previous assignments below.
I’m happy working autonomously, either remotely or on-site, managing the full recruitment cycle from sourcing and screening to interviewing and offer negotiation. I integrate quickly with internal teams and systems, and I’m used to adapting to different cultures, structures, and hiring goals. My aim is always to make the process smooth, efficient, and successful — for both you and your candidates. Presenting you as an employer of choice.
If you’re looking for a reliable solo recruiter who can deliver quickly and professionally, let’s talk. Whether you need support for a few days, weeks or several months, I offer flexible terms and a no-fuss approach to getting the job done. Click on the button below for a chat to see how I can help.

Karen is easy going, hard working, dedicated, self-disciplined and able to hit the ground running.”
