Michelle Mumford

My 10+ years expertise lie in permanent recruitment in all areas of Marketing, including PR, Comms, Digital, Marketing, Product and Events, for agencies and in-house across the UK.

I have built up a depth of knowledge of the many industries my clients serve and the specialisms my agency clients offer. You could say I am sector and specialism agnostic!

Before I moved into agency life, I worked within HR in the leisure and hospitality industry, but naturally gravitated towards a role in recruitment because this is what I loved most. My career has always involved people and building strong relationships wherever I go.

I love content, I love social media and I have a passion for all things PR. I am a firm believer that relationships are key. Through my love of building relationships, I pride myself on working closely with my clients to truly understand their business and long-term goals, and with my candidates to know the type of working culture that will help them thrive. Recruitment is a marathon, not a sprint; it isn’t about ‘placing that job’ but about working together for the long term and working toward the same end goal in partnership.

If you are a company looking for the perfect person, or a candidate looking for a new role in the UK, get in touch, I would love to chat!
