Sales Support

Hi, I’m Tom. I’ve been in recruitment for five years now, and I know from firsthand experience how daunting a job search can feel. Trying to find that “forever career” where your strengths can shine, without sacrificing who you are at heart, is a lot. That’s exactly why I’m dedicated to finding the right fit for our candidates, not just filling roles for clients, so everyone walks away happy, confident, and genuinely fulfilled.

I’ve got multiple friends in the healthcare industry, so I understand how important it is to feel properly represented, with your best interests at heart. I lead with empathy and I focus on what makes you, as an individual, stand out. Not just what looks good on paper. My job is to bring your story to life in a way that clients actually connect with, so you’re seen as the full professional you are, not just a list of duties and dates.

If you’re feeling unsure, stuck, or simply tired of roles that do not quite fit, I’m here to guide you through it. I’ll keep things clear, honest, and human throughout the process, and I’ll help you land the role you’ve been waiting for, and the one that’s been waiting for you too. For clients, that means introductions that are genuinely thought through, with people who match the brief and the culture, not just the job title.

I’m like your career corner man, I’ll keep you sharp, calm you down, and make sure you do not get knocked out by a surprise interview question.

Outside of work, I’m a big Formula One fan, a full-on boxing nerd, and I love spending time with my abundant number of nieces and nephews.

If you’re ready for your next move, apply now or search for your right role and let’s get you into something that feels right.
