What makes Alex good at his job?
Alex's experience spans permanent and contract recruitment, with a strong background in both sales and sales leadership roles. He found greater satisfaction in leadership, taking more pride in his team's successes than in his own billings. This passion fuels his commitment to business success, individual consultant growth, and customer satisfaction. Alex emphasises the importance of focusing on what can be controlled, maintaining a positive attitude, and consistently seeking improvement.
Where is Alex going after work?
In his free time, Alex enjoys listening to a good podcast, taking walks with his Cocker Spaniel, and watching any live sport he can find. His favourite travel destinations are Ibiza and Greece, and he has a particular love for Italian food paired with a good whisky.
