Recruitment runs in the family. But for Hannah, it’s always been more than that.
Following in her father’s footsteps, she knew early on that her ability to connect people wasn’t just a personality trait, it was a strength worth building a career around. “At heart, I’m a connector,” she says. Whether someone needs a new hire, a fresh client lead, or just someone to mow the lawn, chances are, Hannah knows a guy.
Fifteen years on, that buzz she gets from making the right match at the right time? It hasn’t faded. If anything, it’s evolved. Now, what excites her just as much as solving hiring puzzles is seeing the ripple effects of a placement done well: stronger teams, empowered families, and businesses that grow. It’s the kind of impact that quietly echoes well beyond the offer letter.
That purpose has helped her weather even the toughest seasons. Hannah started her career in 2010, just as the Global Financial Crisis was winding down. Navigating uncertainty isn’t new to her and neither is resilience. “Markets recover. Confidence returns. Growth follows,” she says. It’s not blind optimism that keeps her moving, but perspective: experience has shown her time and again that hard times are temporary.
Of course, it helps that she’s part of a business built to last. With strong leadership and a history of looking after people, she knows she’s in a position of strength and she doesn’t take it for granted. Her focus stays on the people she supports. “A bit of turbulence is the new normal. It’s not about resisting change, but adjusting your mindset and helping others adapt too.”
That people-first mentality shows up in every conversation she has. Hannah doesn’t believe in slick pitches or inflated promises. When she works with clients, it’s about being fully present. Asking the right questions, listening deeply, and showing up with a mix of authenticity and professionalism. Her goal is never to just land a job. It’s to build trust.
And sometimes, that trust starts by saying she’s not the right person for the job but chances are, she knows a guy.
After all these years, Hannah still finds joy in the moments that turn into partnerships. She’s not here for easy wins. She’s here to understand what matters, and help solve what needs solving.
If she could give her younger self one brutally honest piece of advice, it would be this: Don’t underestimate the power of every connection. And stay in touch. Because that CV you helped rewrite after a redundancy in 2014? He is now the CEO of a large construction company who your team is now trying to partner with. And that person you headhunted in 2022 who took the $50K counteroffer that you supported anyway? They’re still there, leading large teams and they haven’t forgotten who backed them.
Every genuine interaction has the potential to come full circle. The network you build, and how you nurture it, becomes the backbone of your success. And for someone who chose this career with intention, that’s exactly the kind of legacy worth building.
Genuine connection, thoughtful advice, and the kind of experience that lasts.
Reach out to Hannah and see the difference.
