Joe has 4 years experience in sales & recruitment, within that period the trajectory has been invaluable to his relationships with clients and candidates.
He comes from an extensive background of b2b sales, where something that he took pride on is the ability to build rapport and trust with customers, from a variety of backgrounds in order to determine exactly what their needs were and how to resolve them.
A big reason why he made the switch from sales to the world of recruitment is that in the former, you very rarely spoke to the same person twice due to the high level transactional nature of the role.
Since making the switch he has revelled in the opportunity to use those transferable skills to build trusting partnerships with both candidates and clients.
Currently Joe specialises in permanent part-qualified Finance.
