This month, Recruitment Grapevine charts the career journey of Margo Leftly, Managing Director and Founder at Healthier Recruitment...
1997 - 2002
Hinchingbrooke Sixth Form
I studied psychology, sociology and business studies.
2002-2003
Claims Advisor
2003 –2007
Branch Manager
Piccadilly Workforce (Assist Piccadilly)
Here, I was involved in the set up and overall recruitment procedure for one of our biggest clients. I also secured new business within the Northampton, Cambridge and Huntingdonshire areas.
2010 – 2011
Business Development Manager
It was very similar to my other roles, but I was working in winning high-level contracts – for example, securing contracts with firms like Fujitsu - for Reed. I was given different areas to specialise in and when I first joined, I worked in the media, technology, marketing and design sectors.
2011 – 2013
Business Development Director
I was solely responsible for the business development of clients within the following areas: DRC Locums Mental Health and Acute divisions, DRC AHP’s and Nursing. I was working in partnership with clients to design bespoke recruitment solutions and models that were suited to their current objectives.
2013 – 2014
Business Development Director
The reason that Hallam were so attractive is because they were solely primary care; it was all GP’s and AMP’s and it was a market that was really growing as well. The market knowledge that I got from working here was definitely what spurred me on in terms of setting up Healthier Recruitment.
2014 – present
Managing Director and Founder
I came to the decision that, if you put 100% time and effort into finding people for permanent jobs, it was possible. I thought that the market would start changing, and I wanted to set up Healthier Recruitment with enough time to prove that it was possible to achieve permanent recruitment in the healthcare sector.
