Corporate Consultancy, Training & Talent Assessment

The traditional tech and cyber security hiring process is broken. I am here to help you fix that.

Between outdated keyword-filtering software spitting out the wrong CVs and hiring managers wasting hours interviewing people who look brilliant on paper but completely fall apart on a live call, the amount of time and money leaked during a recruitment drive is staggering.

With eight years inside the trenches of tech recruitment and four years managing large-scale adult reskilling programmes, I bridge the gap between scaling companies, training providers and high-performing talent. I do not deal in generic HR textbook theories. I provide practical, grounded strategies that help organisations modernise their hiring, train their leaders, protect their managers' calendars and retain their best people.

How we fix it together

I do not expect you to change how you operate overnight. Instead, I step into your business to handle the heavy lifting, fix specific bottlenecks or train your teams. Here is exactly how I support you:

01

Contract Screening & Talent Assessment

Stop letting your hiring managers drown in first-round introductory calls. You can outsource your initial technical and capability screening entirely to me.

  • How it works: I conduct rigorous, structured 30 to 45-minute screening interviews with your pipeline candidates.
  • The deliverable: I hand your team a comprehensive, one-page Suitability Scorecard for every candidate, grading their technical baseline, communication style, transferable strengths and cultural fit. Your team saves hours of time and only ever interviews the top pre-vetted tier.
02

Shifting to Skills-Based Hiring & Progression

If you are still hiring based purely on specific university degrees, outdated credential checklists or a precise number of years in a generic role, you are missing out on exceptional talent. I help organisations completely overhaul their approach to job specifications and career pathways.

  • How it works: We look directly at your current job specifications and career trajectories, consulting on exactly how to shift them to a skills-first focus. We identify the actual competencies needed to do the job well, strip out the unnecessary corporate fluff and rewrite them to focus on capability, grit and potential.
  • The result: You widen the talent net to capture incredible non-traditional candidates, significantly improve your internal mobility by making promotion paths transparent and build a much more inclusive, fulfilling workplace where people want to stay.
03

Hiring Manager & Leadership Training

An inclusive hiring strategy only works if the people making the decisions know how to execute it. I deliver practical, interactive training sessions for hiring managers, team leaders and internal talent acquisition teams.

  • How it works: I train your decision makers on how to modernise their interviewing processes to make them genuinely inclusive and objective. I teach leaders how to work one-on-one with their current team members on career mapping plans, showing them how to identify individual skills and articulate how those capabilities can transfer elsewhere within your business to boost retention.
04

Partnerships with Reskilling & Employability Organisations

If you are a bootcamp, training provider, charity or organisation dedicated to helping adults reskill and find work, I step in as a strategic curriculum and delivery partner to help you scale your impact.

  • Strategic consulting & data frameworks: I work closely with business stakeholders to establish the exact metrics of what 'good' looks like for your career services. I help you develop robust career curriculums and design clear frameworks outlining exactly what data your team should be recording.
  • Staff training, standardisation & CV grading: I train your internal career advisors and employment coaches on how to teach modern career management skills, and introduce internal standardisation frameworks so every coach delivers consistent, high-quality advice.
  • Empowering job seeker delivery: I help deliver your employability projects directly through interactive group workshops and intensive masterclasses, giving learners the practical tools and mindset they need to confidently drive their own success.

Why me?

I am not a massive consultancy firm that drops a generic slide deck on your desk and hands your account over to a junior graduate. I am an independent practitioner. When you work with me, you get me.

My advice is backed by a very specific background: 8 years in tech recruitment and 4 years managing large-scale adult reskilling programmes. Having sat on the agency side, the internal corporate side and the training provider side, I see the hiring market with absolute clarity.

  • Spotting the gaps: I know exactly how candidates gamify their CVs. I can see past a highly polished piece of paper to evaluate actual, live capability in a single call.
  • Auditing the training: Having run reskilling programmes, I know how to look at a bootcamp curriculum or an internal training pathway and immediately spot whether it aligns with real-world tech demands.
  • Direct feedback: I am not here to waste your time or mine with corporate fluff. If your job descriptions are actively pushing top tier talent away, I will tell you directly so we can fix it.

I deal purely in practical execution. Whether I am screening a candidate, coaching a manager or running a workshop for fifty job seekers, the goal is always the same: streamlining your process so you can hire and retain the best talent.
