Recruitment Expansion
When you understand the opportunities and risk, the process becomes simple.
What does growth look like to you?
From startup to scaleup to exit. Middle of the pack to market leader. Incumbent to innovator.
I started Recspand to solve the commercial and operational growing pains of the recruitment industry. To give agencies and providers the best support at every stage. To put courage, conviction, and confidence beside leadership.
Growth is different for every business. So are the risks, opportunities, investments, and the journey. Make your decision to expand an easy one.

The story so far…
My journey began in 1999 as a trainee at Huxley Associates. When I left SThree in 2020 I was the Investment Director responsible for building the next generation of staffing products. I’ve been both in the trenches and on the parapet. For almost a decade I oversaw the brand’s global commercial operations and built the framework for repeatedly scaling new verticals, teams, ventures, and expansion internationally. SThree was – and still is – a great example of how businesses can innovate from the front. My role was to define, map, and strategically move towards expansion by seizing opportunity and mitigating risk. I started Recspand to take those learnings and package them for recruitment businesses to go on the same journey. Every business I work with wants to be known for something. Everyone has a why. Mine is to give leaders the framework to make their journey easier. We won’t make the decisions for you, but we will give you the confidence to build repeatable, scalable, future-proofed value that get you to your vision.
