ABOUT JESS EDWARDS

I’m a Talent Advisor at Salesforce, passionate about building exceptional teams and creating cultures where people truly thrive. I specialise in strategic recruitment for SMB (Small & Medium Business) teams across French and EMEA markets, partnering with leaders to identify, attract, and hire top-tier talent. I believe recruitment should be human first, not transactional. I’m known for transparent communication, comprehensive candidate preparation (including interview guides and role-plays), and building genuine relationships that go beyond filling roles. I lead with vulnerability, celebrate both professional wins and personal milestones, and champion diversity, inclusion, and human-centered recruiting. 🤝 My ApproachI believe the best recruitment happens when you treat candidates like people, not pipelines. I partner closely with hiring leaders to deliver high-impact talent solutions while maintaining a human, candidate-first experience. Languages & International ExperienceI’m bilingual in French and English, with additional language experience in Italian (12 years) and Chinese (3 years). Having lived in the UK for over 10 years, I’ve built strong networks and extensive experience in sales recruitment across multiple markets including France, Germany, UK & I, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Russia. Beyond WorkOutside of recruitment, I’m a proud working mom and a passionate advocate for women in sales. I mentor emerging talent and support inclusive hiring practices while constantly embracing new challenges and opportunities to learn. ‍‍ Let’s connectIf you’re passionate about talent, sales, or building teams that change the game, I’d love to connect
