SaleCycle are market leaders in online cart abandonment recovery - we enable businesses to track and recover abandoned shopping baskets by automatically retargeting customers who drop out part way through the eCommerce checkout process, through a dynamic form of digital marketing. I was responsible for developing attraction methods (including employer branding), directly sourcing applicants (Linkedin, job boards, social media etc), establishing resourcing processes and creating selection tools. I filled and retained over 30 niche roles across Sales, Implementation, Client Services (account/email campaign management), Technology, Design and Marketing for offices based in North East England, London, Washington DC (USA) and Singapore, without the use of agencies. I love to hear from anyone interested in our product or our vacancies and encourage you to get in touch for a confidential, informal discussion.

The Co-operative: Food is the leading community food retailer, with a store in every postal code. The role of the Supply Chain function is to ensure that the right products are in the right place at the right time. With over 2,800 stores and approximately 15,000 product lines, this is very big operation which has been transformed and modernised during a redevelopment program spanning over 5 years.I was responsible for the end to end recruitment process within the national network, for positions ranging from senior management to warehouse colleagues, guiding both hiring managers and applicants from vacancy requirement through to offer and induction. This required a variety of tailored attraction and direct sourcing strategies depending on requirements and regional differences. I initially established and embedded fair and consistent processes, whilst building credible, lasting relations with stakeholders. Throughout my role, I continued to develop a series of robust screening and assessment tools to ensure the right person was appointed in the right place at the right time and was heavily involved in multiple site start ups throughout the redevelopment program, recruiting up to c.1000 employees per site.
