  • When asked what I do, I am often at a crossroads to explain

    Melanie Hayes

  • Recruitment is a broad term and I am not entirely sure if fully explains the extent to what Recruiters do each day.

  • The best way to describe my profession is constantly seeking; connecting; exploring and finding people at a time in their careers where they are looking for something new.

  • I spend my day reaching out and making connections, delving deep into the market and eyeing out the best there is, keeping my finger on the pulse of who is at the top of their game.

  • In summing it up, I CHASE TALENT.
