Who is Recruiter Paul? Hi, I’m Paul Withers — and yes, I’m a recruiter. I like to keep things simple! I’ve spent over 20 years helping businesses in the UK and EU build strong HR and commercial teams. What do I do? Here’s the short version: I run The HR Guys, which helps companies hire top HR talent in the UK and EU. I lead the Interim HR Network, connecting businesses with immediately available senior HR professionals. I support growing companies with a range of fractional talent acquisition services through the European Recruitment Company — not just for HR roles, but also for key commercial hires. I also coach job seekers, offering straight-talking advice on job moves, interviews, and navigating the market (on a limited basis). My background Started in IT and professional services recruitment in 2000 Moved into HR recruitment in 2005 Went independent in 2010 Now celebrating 20 years in HR recruitment in 2025 I split my time between Cambridge and Innsbruck, giving me insight into two very different but equally interesting talent markets. What can you expect from me? No nonsense. Just honest, practical advice. Real experience. I’ve placed hundreds of professionals, from HR generalists to commercial leads and global heads of function. A bit of personality. We’ll talk competencies, but we’ll also have some fun along the way. A respectful, professional approach — always. Want to work together? If you’re hiring and want a straightforward approach to recruitment, let’s talk. We’ll keep it simple, get results, and maybe even enjoy the process.
