This month, Recruitment Grapevine charts the career journey of
David Morel, CEO & Founder at Tiger Recruitment.
1994 – 1997
Publishing & Planning
My degree was totally irrelevant in terms of what I do now because I studied publishing and planning. However, it was a modular course so there were aspects that were business and marketing focused and a few of those modules have contributed to what I do now.
1997 – 2001
Associate Director
I was quite young at the time so the opportunity to get involved and to have more influence in decision-making and management and learning those essential skills was a massive opportunity. In terms of things that I was able to take with me to Tiger Recruitment, probably from a management point of view, the experience that I learnt from that was massively useful. I was able to bring the fact that I had worked in a temporary division there and I had proved myself which certainly contributed to my confidence.
2001 – Present
CEO/Founder
I always wanted to run my own business. I had quite a lot of creative ideas and I was finding it hard to put them into practice where I was previously. Also, I was speaking to an increasing number of clients and candidates who were disillusioned with the service that they were getting, and I felt that I could create a company that was highly professional and better-dedicated to our clients. I wanted to set up a recruitment agency that was around marketing and branding which hadn’t really been done effectively up until that point.
