About Russell,
CEO of Unrivalled and LinkedIn Top Voice for Job Search and Careers
Like most recruiters, I fell into the industry, and am glad I did. Over my 18-year career, I have recruited upwards of 3000 people, from Buying Assistants to Marketing Directors and key leadership positions such as COOs and CEOs. People that have sculpted the fashion, retail and digital landscapes.
My journey has taken me across the globe, from the UK, to Europe and APAC.
In this 18 years, unfortunately, I have not seen the recruitment industry keep up with the times and move forward. The emphasis often being on price and speed of candidate delivery, meaning agencies cut corners and focus on the wrong metrics.
This led me to creating a new kind of recruitment agency
Having worked globally in agency and leading In-House talent teams for ASOS, House of Fraser, Britvic, Immediate Media and General Pants, I have gained valuable insights and experience in how working with a recruitment agency should be.
