Sadler Recruitment is built on one principle

🔷Impeccacble communication 

and 

3 core values 

🔶 Loyalty
🔶 Honesty
🔶 Positivity

I have a solid base knowledge of technology and I am confidently able to understand my candidates experience and sell their best technical merits. I aim to use my experience in this industry to offer a superior service ✔️

I am an experienced recruiter, headhunter, keen networker and someone who is proud to bring change to skills and people availability in Wales and the jobs economy as a whole. 

I am a keen advocate of skills development and hiring talent from outside industry having built and delivered

🔶 Software bootcamps (software development)
🔶 AWS re/start Cardiff (cloud based)


My tips for staying ahead in the world of technology 

🔶Continuous Learning: Commit to lifelong learning by staying up-to-date with the latest trends, tools, and technologies in your field. If you don't you will get left behind! 

🔶Specialise and Deepen Your Expertise: I am regularly told that it is highly advisable to have a broad understanding of various technologies/general IT. However, my advice is also to gain deeper knowledge and grow your expertise in a specific domain. This can make you more valuable and sought after in the job market.

🔶Current with Industry News and Trends: Regularly consume industry news, blogs, podcasts, and publications to stay informed about the latest developments, innovations, and emerging trends in technology. Subscribe to relevant newsletters and websites - I use WIRED, Computer Weekly and Linkedin's suggested content.

🔶Contribute to Open Source Projects and build your own Git account: Participating in open-source projects is a great way to collaborate. Developing your projects and keeping them stored on your Git account is great for self-learning but also for job hunting/interviews.

🔶Don't forget soft skills: In addition to technical skills, focus on developing soft skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership. Never underestimate this! 

🔶Seek Feedback and Mentorship: Actively seek feedback on your job performance OR performance at interviews from qualified individuals that can help you - be it peers, managers, and mentors to identify areas for improvement and growth. Don't forget a good recruiter 😉 can provide valuable guidance, advice, and support as you navigate your career path in tech.

🔶Embrace Diversity and Inclusion: Embrace diversity and inclusion in the tech industry by supporting initiatives to promote equality and representation. Recognise the value of diverse perspectives and experiences in driving innovation and fostering a more inclusive tech community.

🔶Maintain Work-Life Balance: The well-talked-about 'Burnout' in technology can seriously hinder your ability to stay productive and motivated in your career. Take breaks, engage in hobbies, and prioritize self-care to recharge and stay energised!
