Ellie with books

With twenty five years’ experience in HR, Recruitment and Talent, and within Executive Search as a head-hunter of HR Leaders, I founded my business in 2016 to support both organisations and individuals as The Recruitment Coach. 

Organisations

Coaching your leaders through transition. Helping them understand and harness their strengths. Supporting them to fulfil their career potential.

Individuals

Helping you to land your perfect job either in your current organisation or in a new one, enabling you to play to your strengths and thrive.

About me

I started my career in HR, Resourcing and Talent roles within the Retail industry. I then worked as a head hunter specialising in HR leadership roles. I am now a Coach, helping leaders land their perfect role and being brilliant in it, by playing to their strengths.

I have studied at both Durham and Oxford University. I am a Barefoot trained Coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation at Associate Certified Coach (ACC) level. I am an accredited Strengths Profile Practitioner. I am a LinkedIn Top Voice for Job Search and Careers and a ‘Digital Mums’ qualified Social Media Manager and I help my clients use social media more effectively to network and raise their profile.

I strongly believe in taking opportunities that come your way and stepping out of your comfort zone, and I have lived and worked outside of the UK in Germany, Chile and Singapore.

I believe in giving back and paying it forward and do a range of pro bono work as a Mentor for Protégé, and an Ambassador for KidsOut.

Alongside my work, which is a passion, I am a mum to an energetic eight-year-old. I am a book lover, a festival goer, a builders’ tea drinker and a house plant nurturer. I enjoy art and photography.

LT - Managing Director "Ellie is an amazing sounding board." Slide Ellie delivered training on LinkedIn to our HR team. It was focused, fun and effective, giving the team a variety of tools to use both to enhance their own presence on LinkedIn and also develop our employer brand in the market.
