ABOUT LINDA MCKEE ASSOC
With over 15 years’ experience in recruitment/Talent Acquistion and people management, I’ve built my career on connecting great talent with meaningful opportunities. Currently serving as Recruitment Manager at Navantia UK, I lead the full recruitment lifecycle — from workforce planning and sourcing strategy to onboarding and talent engagement — ensuring our hiring practices are inclusive, data-driven, and aligned with business growth.My journey began in frontline recruitment, where I learned the importance of relationships, responsiveness, and results. Since then, I’ve managed high-volume recruitment campaigns, driven strategic workforce planning, and implemented process improvements that enhance both candidate and hiring manager experience.At Navantia UK (and previously Harland & Wolff), I’ve partnered with department heads to forecast hiring needs, analyse recruitment metrics, and modernise sourcing strategies using ATS and CRM technologies. My approach blends strategic thinking with hands-on delivery — I enjoy rolling up my sleeves to find the right people while continuously refining how we attract and retain them.Before joining Navantia, I honed my skills across diverse sectors — from engineering and manufacturing to public sector employability and healthcare — in roles such as Onsite Account Manager, Internal Recruiter, and Programme Manager. This has given me a well-rounded perspective on recruitment, workforce development, and compliance in complex, fast-paced environments.What drives me most is building teams that last — fostering partnerships with hiring managers, candidates, and external stakeholders that go beyond filling vacancies to shaping careers and strengthening organisations.
