Meet The Team

The Faces Behind The Madness

Managing Director

  • As the Managing Director of Pickles Recruitment, I'm all about making those perfect matches—whether it's pairing top talent with manufacturing powerhouses or figuring out where to grab the best ice cream after a long day. Recruitment is a serious game, but that doesn't mean we can't have a laugh along the way.

    When I'm not scouting top-tier talent, you'll find me chasing after life's greatest joys: discovering new restaurants, spoiling my four-legged best friends, and enjoying an endless supply of ice lollies and ice cream. (Yes, I firmly believe dessert is a valid motivator in life and work!)

    My philosophy? Great teams, like great recipes, are all about the right mix of ingredients. And I'm here to make sure every employer and candidate finds their perfect flavour of success.

    "Serving up dream jobs, sweet connections, and a sprinkle of fun in everything I do!"

Recruitment Consultant

  • At Pickles Recruitment, I'm the matchmaker connecting brilliant people with top-tier manufacturing roles. Whether I'm scouting standout talent or helping businesses find their next superstar, I'm all about building strong relationships that just click.

    Fuelled by an unapologetic love for a strong coffee and almost daily trips to the Chippy across the road, I bring energy, humour, and a dash of fun to everything I do. Recruitment doesn't have to be boring, and with me, it never is. I'm here to make sure the journey is as fun as the destination—and that every placement feels like it was meant to be.

    Looking for someone who knows recruitment inside-out and isn't afraid to talk shop over a Costa or Fried Rice & Curry? Let's talk. Pickles is all about finding the perfect fit, and I'm here to make it happen!

Accounts Manager

Recruitment Consultant

  • As the numbers guru at Pickles Recruitment, I'm the one who makes sure everything adds up and that payday is always a reason to smile! From cracking payroll puzzles to keeping the books balanced, I bring a mix of precision, personality, and maybe even a sprinkle of magic to the numbers game.

    When I'm off the clock, I'm a proud mum to two amazing girls, a devoted pet lover, and a Malibu enthusiast. Whether I'm cheering at school events, cuddling with my furry companions, or savouring a well-earned Malibu and Coke, I believe life is all about balance—just like my spreadsheets!

    My motto? Keep calm, stay organised, and always make time for what (and who) you love.

  • As a consultant at Pickles, I bring energy, passion, and a whole lot of good vibes to the world of manufacturing recruitment. Whether it's finding a candidate their dream job or helping a business build winning teams, I tackle every challenge with a loud laugh, a big smile, and a "let's make it happen" attitude.

    When I'm not matchmaking in the job world, I'm the reigning bargain-hunting queen, the life of every party, and a proud parent to three amazing kids who keep me on my toes. My secret to balance? Work hard, play harder, and never pass up a great supermarket deal!

    For me, recruitment isn't just a job—it's about connecting people, creating opportunities, and doing it all with a little sparkle and a lot of heart.

    I've got a big personality and even bigger results—making recruitment fun and fabulous!

Our Brand Values

Matchmakers, Not Just Recruiters

We’re not here to fill roles; we’re here to make magic happen. We’re the recruitment detectives, delving deep, sifting through every detail, looking for evidence, patterns and clues that can help us find everything we need to do our job expertly. Some might say we’re a little meticulous; we’d say we’re doing the job right.

Keep It Local, Keep It Real

We’re all about local connections and real relationships. Transparency is key; we believe in authentic, honest interactions every step of the way. If we don’t think something’s right, we speak our mind. People won’t always like it, but at least we know we’ll be able to sleep at night knowing we’ve been true to ourselves and those around us.

Careers With Personality

Jobs don’t have to be boring, and neither does the way we find them. We embrace personality—theirs, ours, and the companies we work with. We’re not afraid to be ourselves and encourage everyone we deal with to do the same because we believe that when people show their true selves, the world is a much better place for it.

You Can Count On Us, Every Time

Like a warm cup of coffee on a Monday morning, people can rely on us to get them going! When they’re in a pickle, we’re here, ready to solve their problems with consistency. We aren’t afraid to take control of situations; we know our stuff, so we back ourselves to deliver time and time again. We’re not cocky or arrogant, just confident and responsible. 

Our Vision

We just want to see the world filled with people who are inspired, fulfilled, and who are having fun!

Our Mission

By finding people jobs that they like, or one that’s less s**t than the last one at least. We don’t just shove any old Tom, Dick, or Harriette in a role that needs filling; we get to know every single individual to make sure it’s the right position not just for their skills and abilities but for their personality and goals too.

Our Purpose

Life’s too serious; we just want people to have as much fun as they can.
