I have always loved to learn about people. I love to hear their stories, where they have been, where they want to go and everything in between.

My passion to learn about others, careered me into the world of recruitment.

After working in agency roles for over a decade I founded Big Bear Recruitment in 2013, providing permanent healthcare staffing to the UKs private sector and supplied some of the largest healthcare organisations. The business was successfully acquired in 2017.

I then took some time out to reconnect and reenergise with my young family, travelling across South-East Asia covering Thailand, Kuala Lumpar, Bali and Cambodia during the summer of 2017.

During our travels, I was struck by the incredible diversity of cultures and experiences we encountered. I saw first-hand how important it was for people to find meaningful work that allowed them to support themselves and their families. Inspired by these vivid experiences, I realized I wanted to continue to make a positive impact by helping others find their own paths to success.

With this goal in mind, PinkWorm Recruitment was founded in 2018.

As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the global economy, and the recruitment industry was no exception. At PinkWorm Recruitment, we faced unprecedented challenges as our clients put hiring on hold and our team members had to swiftly adapt to remote work.

However, I am proud to say that we rose to the challenge and emerged from the pandemic stronger than ever. We quickly pivoted to virtual recruitment, leveraging technology to connect with candidates and clients in new and innovative ways. We also doubled down on our commitment to building strong relationships, providing support and guidance to both job seekers and employers during this difficult time.

Now, as we look to the future, I am thrilled to see PinkWorm Recruitment thriving year on year. Our team is stronger and more resilient than ever. We have continued to innovate and invest in our technology and processes, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of the recruitment industry.

I am confident that with our continued commitment to excellence and innovation, we will continue to thrive in the years to come.

Meet Zizou (fondly known as Zi, Zuzu, Gigi or Booboo), our Office Pomeranian.

Zizou's name was inspired by the famous retired French footballer, Zinedine Zidane, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. We chose to name him after such an accomplished athlete as both Zinedine Zidane and Zizou are well-loved and bring joy to their fans 

Zi is a beloved member of our team and serves as our official office mascot. He is well known for his beautiful fluffy coat, perky ears, and playful personality. He greets everyone who walks into the office with a wagging tail and a friendly yap!

Zi’s office duties at PinkWorm Recruitment include boosting morale, providing stress relief, and serving as a source of entertainment. He can often be found snoozing in the corner or chewing on his favourite toys. Zi loves a treat or five and getting plenty of belly rubs.

We are so grateful to have Zi around our office - he reminds us to take breaks and enjoy the simple things in life.
