Every candidate we present at Altair Recruitment has been personally screened to ensure they have the right skills, experience and motivations for the role. My screening process can include: • In-depth behavioural and competency-based interviews via Teams or in person • Skills and experience assessment against the role requirements • Career history and motivation review • Salary and availability verification • Right to work and visa status checks • Reference checks with current and former managers • Qualification verification (where required) • Portfolio and work sample review (where relevant) • Cultural and values alignment assessment • Interview preparation and candidate briefing I tailor the screening process to each role and business, ensuring only the most suitable candidates are presented for consideration.

I work as an extension of your team rather than an external recruiter. I genuinely invest the time to understand your business, culture, challenges and the type of person who will thrive with you long term between the lines of PD or without one at all. From there, I combine advertising, headhunting and my network to find candidates who not only have the right skills, but are also aligned with your values and way of working. I'm known for being honest, responsive and hands-on throughout the process. I'll tell you what I'm seeing in the market, challenge assumptions when needed and keep communication flowing from start to finish. My focus has always been on building long-term relationships, not filling jobs. The best outcomes happen when both the client and candidate are excited about the opportunity, and that's what I strive to achieve every time.
