Darian Nys
Delivery Consultant
Hi I'm Darian, recruitment to me is the ability to help people who are seeking their next role, whether that be to progress, to learn and develop, to start a career in healthcare or childcare. That’s what I do this for.
Healthcare is part of my family. My mum is a nurse, my aunties are carers, and I have also worked in healthcare myself, so it gives me a unique perspective. I understand that finding a new role can be challenging, and when working 10 to 12 hours per shift it may not be the priority to communicate with prospective employers.
I pride myself on my ability to listen to candidates, take on board their wants and needs and advise on the best opportunities, while also maximising on the relationships that I have to assist any candidate I work for, because I work for you. My job satisfaction comes from the pride I get when completing the task of securing a position that satisfies the needs of my candidates.
"I’ll help you find the role, hype you up for interview, and still remind you to answer your phone when it matters."
Outside of work, I enjoy music, football, and Formula 1.
If you’re ready for your next step, apply now or search for the role that suits you best.
