Sales Consultant

Being in Recruitment can be tough, it’s a demanding industry to be successful in. So after being in Tech Recruitment for over 10 years, and progressing all the way through to being a director of a successful business unit I must be doing something right!

That is why after 11 years the time was right to create Mirus Talent - A Tech recruitment Agency. Mirus was created with the purpose to discover your extraordinary. We are on a mission to discover the best businesses to support, discover the best tech talent and to create an extraordinary experience. We are under no illusion that this takes time, we believe anything is possible and with that belief we know it is going to be one heck of a journey. 

Partnering up with a recruiter is more than just finding talent for your business, it is about brand, customer experience and making those meaningful connections. My success hasn’t come from working with 100’s of clients. It has come from building a relationship with a few client that is based on respect and trust. My role at Mirus Talent is to focus on partnering up with business that are looking for more than just a transactional relationship. I want to be working with businesses that I can learn from, businesses that come with no ego and businesses that put people first. 

As time progresses, so will Mirus. We are at the beginning of our journey. A journey that will be full of excitement, full of learning opportunities and one that will push me! 

 

"I can ease myself in to the year this week"

LOL 

This is what I messaged somebody on Monday, but what a brilliant first week back. 

This isn't another "look at how great my numbers are" post. 

It is about the energy I am getting from the people around me at the moment. 

This week has had good stuff and some bad stuff, but I am ending the week feeling so good about what is ahead. 

Surrounding yourself with people that remove the ego, want to collaborate and share their time is my mantra this year.

P.s Keen to speak to contractors that are:

UX practitioners 
Delivery/Product people 
Full Stack MERN Developers

Rates between £400 to £550pd. Outside. UK based. Remote

Anyone else feel like it is 67th of January? 

Brilliant conversations being had, and I am excited with how things are looking. 

If you are looking to hire a Principal/Director of UX, then we must chat. I spoke to a lady yesterday that is starting her search.

To keep it short. She is phenomenal. Amazing with clients, sees the bigger picture and delivers!
