Better hiring. Done properly.
Straight-talking headhunting and BD, done with kindness. For recruiters who want clarity, and hiring managers who want good people without the drama.
Who I help
I set up Seek & Hire to give recruiters and hiring managers some breathing space. Two groups, one approach: listen first.
If you're a recruiter
You're good at what you do. But you might be:
- Tired of constant pressure
- Stuck overthinking your next move
- Quietly wondering if it's meant to feel this hard
It's not a you-problem. We'll work through your worries and get a plan, even if that means doing nothing for now.
Talk about your next moveIf you're hiring
You want good people, without the drama. I listen properly, get clear on what you actually need, and help you move forward.
- Headhunting for the right talent
- A short-term lift for your BD when things feel heavy
- Honest advice, even when it's uncomfortable
You're allowed to want better.
Exploring your options isn't disloyal. It's smart. Feeling tired doesn't mean you're bad at your job. It means you're human.
The East Midlands Recruiter Index
What are recruiters really earning? Not the salary on the job board. Not the "uncapped OTE" on the advert. The reality.
I'm building an anonymous snapshot of what recruitment consultants earn across the East Midlands. Once I've collected enough responses, I'll share the results with everyone who's contributed.
Take the survey (60 to 90 seconds)Completely anonymous. No name, employer or contact details.
What it covers
- Basic salaries
- OTEs
- Billings
- Commission structures
- Office expectations
- How you feel about your package
Where
- Nottingham
- Leicester
- Derby
- Lincoln
- Newark
- Grantham
How I work (and what I won't do)
Honest conversations. Tonnes of practical support. Done the right way.
What you'll get
- Someone who listens properly
- Clarity on what you actually need
- Practical advice you can use on a Monday morning
- Confidential, pressure-free chats
What you won't get
- Sales spin
- Corporate nonsense
- Pushy tactics
- Anyone making you feel sold to
Straight-talking, supportive, and exactly what I needed when I didn't know what my next move was.Kim, Recruitment Specialist
Hi, I'm Hannah.
I've spent over 15 years in recruitment, business development and leadership. I've won multi-million pound contracts, made job offers from the car with muddy school bags on the back seat, and made plenty of career decisions of my own.
So I know what it's like. I don't posture as a guru. I'm someone who's been there, gets it, and helps people make smart, considered moves that actually fit their lives.
My mission in life: own a little place in Cornwall, learn to surf and watch sunsets with my husband. Fish and chips, ice cream and a cold Doom Bar included.
Let's chat.
Message me if this resonates. I have this conversation a lot, so you're not alone. If you're quietly thinking about it, you're welcome to talk. No pressure.
