Who are you and what is your role at Optima?
I’m Grace and I’m the Perm Team Leader. There are 2 sides to my role, I look after hires in Mid-Senior level management and I lead a team of consultants across different markets in the perm team. Our jobs are to make sure our perm assignments are taken care of as well as the Candidates and Clients along the way 😊
Why did you join Optima?
I joined Optima after deciding that Uni wasn’t for me and figuring that I’d prefer an Apprenticeship. I didn’t actually have a clue what recruitment was, so I can’t say it’s something I’d always dreamed of. I joined based on the idea of learning something new, being able to speak to people all day (I love a chin wag) and the cultural side of working for a small business really appealed – it helped that I had a beer waiting for me on my desk for my first interview!
What do you like doing outside of work?
Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my other half Liam and our Labrador Doug. We love getting out on big walks with him, as well as eating (and drinking) out and going to as many gigs and festivals as our bank account allows!
