Claire – who brings with her almost 20 years’ experience of the recruitment industry – will lead a team of ten colleagues based across the Brighton and Crawley region.
Following her study in Switzerland, Claire started in hotel management and after two years decided to change direction with her first job as a trainee recruitment consultant.
She worked her way through the ranks at CIP Recruitment Services before she was headhunted by Admiral Recruitment Limited to set up and lead its commercial services division.
In her role at Search, Claire will support the office services and call centre team across the whole recruitment process and will also have a central role in identifying new business opportunities.
Claire said: “I’m really excited about growing and developing an already strong team of very talented individuals. Everyone in the team has their own set of skills which will help us to recruit across a diverse range of roles.
“It’s so important for me to keep a close eye on developments in the office services and call centre marketplace as this informs my work in researching potential new business. I really enjoy identifying new companies to work with and I’m looking forward to building on the already strong relationships we have with existing clients.
“Search has a very strong set of values – built around themes of passion, drive, support, respect, honesty, openness, innovation, flexibility, knowledge and consultation – and that really sets it apart from other recruiters.
“I’m very proud to be joining the team at Search and will enjoy helping the strong team of recruiters grow and develop.”
Search’s office services and call centre division recruits across roles from receptionists, administration supervisors and executive assistants to senior administration managers and chief executive officers.
Debbie Caswell, Search Consultancy’s managing director for England, said: “Claire will be a great addition to the Search workforce. She has a wealth of experience in the recruitment sector and is a proven leader – attributes which will be an integral part of not just office services and call centre but across the business as a whole.
“Her experience in growing strong recruitment teams and identifying new business opportunities will be invaluable and will really help to develop the team.”
