The European recruitment company has appointed Emily Dean after she impressed Collingwood bosses with her experience in human resources management.
Now the successful business, which has its head office in Northwich, Cheshire, will be able to offer a one-stop-shop recruitment service.
ìThis is an exciting time for me and for the company,î said Emily.
ìIt is unusual for a head hunting company to be able to offer such a comprehensive service, and I have big ambitions for the future.î
She added: ìCollingwood understands the importance of getting the right member of staff for a business, so I had to undergo a rigorous recruitment process, and was delighted to get the job.î
The 34-year-old added: ìI have a lot of experience in human resources so I understand what makes a good employee. I also have solid experience in recruitment, so I have seen it from both sides of the fence.
ìI can bring a lot to the job, and it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the clients.
ìCollingwood operates a forward-thinking philosophy, and the team here likes to stay ahead of the game. Iím a dedicated worker so I am sure I will fit in really well.î
Emily previously worked at Martineau Johnson Solicitors, in Birmingham, where she started as an HR Officer and was quickly promoted to Senior HR Projects Consultant.
Doug Mackay, Director of Collingwood, who recruits staff across 13 different countries globally, says Emily was the perfect choice for the job.
He said: ìEmily has recruited people from graduate to board level so we are delighted to have her experience at Collingwood.
ìIn her new client-led role, she will be focusing on clients looking to recruit, and will be able to offer a total HR consultancy package for small and medium sized businesses.î
Doug added: ìThe shortlist of candidates for the job was very high-quality. We wanted someone who fitted very strict criteria, but I think we found the perfect person.î
