"I help make sure that all our candidates experience a smooth recruitment process from start to finish."

As Talent Experience Coordinator, it’s my job to make the Talent Team’s lives that bit easier. I spend most of my time coordinating interviews across Foolproof’s live roles through management of our Applicant Tracking System. I help make sure that all our candidates experience a smooth recruitment process from start to finish, as well as giving HR a hand with contracts and onboarding. I’m a people person through and through, so I love being able to work so closely with others. 

Before joining Foolproof I was at university studying for my English and Spanish degree, which meant I was lucky enough to spend a year living and working as a primary school teacher in southern Spain. I’ve also volunteered for local grassroots groups and fundraised for international charities which has given me amazing hands-on experience working as part of diverse global teams. 

Although this is my first time working in Talent Acquisition, I feel very much at home working in such a people-centric role, and I really enjoy being able to see candidates through the process and into the business.

In my free time, I can either be found cooking and/or eating good food (namely pizza) or visiting my family in Cornwall and exploring the coastline with my dog.
