My background in recruitment
I started my journey with ATA in December 2005 as a very green Chemistry graduate in a suit that didn’t fit!! Over my years within the business, I’ve worked across a number of recruitment roles before progressing into leadership and strategic sales management positions.
My current role as Associate Director of our permanent business has an enjoyable mix of development of our senior management team as well as customer growth.
I can help you with
My forte as a recruiter has always been in the white-collar technical area, so I'm best placed to support with design and project-related positions.
In my current role, I'm much more focused on helping customers strategically deliver their recruitment and finding ways to partner more effectively with them.
If you're someone who wants to get into recruitment, I can help you get very good at it!
The best part of my job
Easy – helping people develop. I get the biggest kick out of seeing others grow and become more successful.
What I do when I'm not in the office
Too many things!
I'm into lots of running (with my first marathon coming up soon!), playing in a band, and showcasing my skills as a singer, guitarist, drummer, and pianist. I also enjoy a good game of squash and have been an avid golfer for some time.
On top of that, I cherish creating amazing experiences with my family. My 11-year-old daughter ensures to keep me on my toes.
Client feedback
"We engaged with Stewart at ATA Recruitment when we were looking to recruit an International Sales Manager as part of our strategic growth plan. Stewart consulted with us initially to discuss the requirement and worked with us to form the correct brief for the role. He then went to market and produced a shortlist of candidates which resulted in us having an excellent selection of individuals shortlisted and ultimately a successful hire who we feel will be a real asset to the team. We work regularly with Stewart and the team at ATA Recruitment across our business due to their consultative approach, understanding of our business, friendly service and the market expertise they can offer. We look forward to continuing our partnership.”
Kevin Leach – Commercial Director – Briggs of Burton
“Zeppelin have worked with ATA recruitment for over 10 years, though not exclusively so. The service has always been good and we have filled positions with people of the right calibre and attitude. Moreover ATA do not bombard us with constant emails or calls but are there when we need them. Our key contacts at ATA are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend them.”
David Scott – Managing Director – Zeppelin Systems
ATA approached me via email about a job opportunity. Right from the initial contact ATA were being attentive as the role presented to me was exactly what I was looking for; salary, location, package and in line with my experience. This was in contrast to many approaches from other agencies who just offer anything and anything. I reached out on the phone to express my interest and was treated in a very professional manner. A telephone interview was arranged with Andy who took a great deal of time to dig into what I knew and had experience with. An interview with the company being recruited for was quickly arranged and at this point I realised that ATA were going above and beyond. Andy called the day before the interview and gave some excellent and professional coaching on what was likely to come up and how to approach the answers. Following the interview a follow up call was made and around this time I also met Stewart. The same professional approach continued as the second interview approached, all the way through to job offer. I actually feel like these guys were genuinely interested in matching their clients needs with my requirements rather than playing a numbers game that many agencies do. Quality over quantity has worked in my experience with ATA and when I need to find new recruits I know who ill be calling! Thanks guys for making a job hunt an experience that valued me."
Stewart found me through LinkedIn and contacted me about a possible opportunity, he was keen to chat on the phone which made all the difference as he knew so much about the role and the company that I was keen to secure the position. He was friendly and often available after normal working hours to suit me and ensure that he kept in regular contact, he was also conscientious in ensuring I had the correct knowledge to proceed with his own brief interview. This outlined his attitude to ensure the candidate knows what is required with the job and how much Stewart does to ensure the business is getting the appropriate candidates. I will be starting my new role in the coming weeks and would highly recommend Stewart as a recruiter.
