SKILLS
ABOUT DAVID BARRACLOUGH
I help businesses hire better, faster, and with far less noise.As a recruiter, I don’t just “fill jobs”, I partner with clients to understand the commercial impact behind every hire. Whether it’s scaling a team, replacing a key performer, or finding hard-to-reach financial talent, I focus on delivering outcomes that actually move the business forward.What clients get from working with me:• Access to talent they won’t reach through ads or job boards• Honest market insight, not just what you want to hear• A streamlined, no-nonsense hiring process that saves time; all discussed and agreed beforehand• Candidates who are properly qualified, briefed, and aligned• Someone who represents your brand as if it were my ownWhat makes me different:• I build relationships first, not transactions• I ask the questions others avoid, so we get it right the first time• I focus on long-term fit, not quick wins• I understand both the culture and the commercial drivers behind hiring• I don’t disappear after placement, I stay accountable Case Study (How I Deliver Results)Client: Fast scaling Leeds company – in the Fast Growth 50 indexChallenge: Fast scale up of core departments to maintain increase of turnover• The company had an agency already on board and were receiving a bad service. Poorly qualified CVs which lead to high turnover rate. This is not helpful when they were looking to expand. Approach:• Agreed a consistent approach to each vacancy i.e. meeting hiring managers, timeframes, interview times prearranged• Agreed a consistent amount of information to ask candidates interested and available before shortlisting• Search strategy (headhunting, advertising, networking and database) to get all available candidatesSolution:• Consistent Shortlist delivered (quality over quantity)• Stakeholder management / process improvements time after time• Candidate engagement and preparationOutcome:• Time to hire reduced• Offer acceptance rate increased• Retention / performance impact vastly improved; 1 leaver within 12 months of those placed by me If you want a recruiter who actually adds value beyond sending CVs, let’s have a conversation.
