About me
I currently work as a Senior Recruiter at Production Switchboard and an Agent at FreelanceDirectors.com which are well established and respected companies specialising within the Creative industry. I work throughout the UK and worldwide with a specific focus on finding and placing the best talent for leading Advertising, Digital and Social agencies. I also have a background managing commercial live action productions prior to my current job. Along with my thirst to learn, my knowledge of how to deliver a campaign and knowing the importance of sourcing the right talent I believe I have skills to become an excellent Studio Manager.
