You may need to scale up quickly, or create a dedicated team. Or you may be looking to relocate. You may feel the need to have your own in-house recruiter, but cannot justify employing one permanently for the period of the project.
I offer a cost-effective recruitment solution acting as your remote in-house recruiter. I manage your recruitment campaign on a monthly fee basis. Showing your company as an employer of choice and enhancing your employer branding.

“I’d recommend Karen very highly as a recruiter as she was able to understand ‘gaming’ very quickly, with no prior knowledge of the industry. With her many years of HR generalist experience, Karen was also willing to offer her opinion on areas of HR outside of her recruitment remit. Karen is easy going, hard working, dedicated, self-disciplined and able to hit the ground running.”
