Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of joining Hung Lee to dive deep into the digital transformation of recruitment. No pressure, of course - especially when you follow Stephen Bartlett, Dragons’ Den investor and host of Diary of a CEO.
Joining me on the panel were Doug Monro (Adzuna) and Camille Cosnefroy (Seiza) - two tech founders at the forefront of modern hiring. Together, we explored how digital tools aren’t just enhancing recruitment – they’re rewriting the rulebook.
As Head of Digital at Pertemps Network Group, the UK’s largest privately-owned recruitment agency, I’ve had the privilege of building an award-winning digital engine from scratch - blending AI, UX, web development, performance marketing, data science, and research. This isn’t about tech for tech’s sake. It’s about delivering real-world impact for consultants, clients and candidates - at serious scale.
Our transformation hasn’t just modernised a business - it’s reshaped how 70+ brands across the UK connect talent with opportunity.
From launching a £1m e-commerce platform during the 2008 recession (yes – the Roman Originals site behind the viral blue/black dress) to leading global B2B and B2C digital strategies, my focus has always been clear: use digital to drive value, simplify complexity, and deliver results.
On the episode, we unpacked:
How Pertemps transformed its digital DNA across 70+ brands
Why UX and data are key to unlocking elusive talent
How automation and AI are reshaping the consultant experience
Why candidate experience is the next competitive frontier
What recruitment leaders must act on now to stay ahead
This podcast wasn’t just a conversation - it was a glimpse into the future of hiring. And I couldn’t be prouder to be part of the team pushing that future forward.
