ABOUT CAT BARNFATHER
As a Talent Acquisition & Employer Brand Leader in food manufacturing and retail, I’m passionate about connecting great people with great businesses. I focus on more than just filling roles, I craft and lead recruitment strategies that truly reflect the culture, values, and ambitions of the organisation. I thrive on building employer brands that cut through the noise. By partnering closely with senior leaders, I ensure our talent approach supports long-term business goals while telling a compelling story that attracts, engages, and retains top talent.I believe recruitment is more than a process, it’s a key part of the employee experience. I’m driven to turn that experience into a brand story that not only resonates with candidates but also strengthens reputation from the inside out.All views here are my own and not representative of McCain.
