Meet the candidate...

I had been with my previous employer for over 5 years, and I felt like I had reached my capacity and needed something new. I wanted to build on my knowledge and use my skills and experience in a different environment.

I wanted a more senior HR role in a job that would be a new challenge. Having always worked in larger companies, I was keen to find somewhere smaller where I could use my own initiative and expertise to make a real difference. My idea of the perfect job was one where I could implement my own ideas and methods, with more responsibility in how the HR entity of the business is run.

Through the interview process, Tate were able to draw out my key strengths to help me find suitable jobs. The contact that Tate has with a wide variety of companies meant that they could match me with a company and role that met my goals, and in turn, I could provide the skills and expertise they were looking for.

This is my dream job! Working in a senior position in an investment company means I have the authority to do things the way I want. The role was new for the business, so I have the freedom to create new HR strategies and implement the many things I have learned in my previous jobs. It is a great company to work for and I have the full support of the senior leadership team. I love that I am now putting all my expertise into my job each day and that it is shaping the HR function within the organisation.

I felt like I had given Tate quite a challenge with the type of company, work and role I was looking for, but they have managed to tick all the boxes. I was impressed with how good a match they made in placing me in my new job. They were dedicated to helping me and really went the extra mile to find the right opportunity
