Senior Recruitment Consultant

Bio

I have been recruiting in the food industry since 2022 and I absolutely love it.

The stories you hear about where our food comes from are fascinating, and I love peaking behind the curtain to understand the processes that happen before we see it on our shelves.


For me, the most rewarding parts of my job are the relationships I build with both candidates and clients from all different walks of life. I love getting to know people, and delivering the highest quality service to find the perfect fit.


Before recruitment, I was a full-time violinist and have performed all around the world. I’ve played electric violin for Rolex, Aston Martin, and even while dressed as a Christmas Elf!


Outside of work, I love to eat out and try all the amazing restaurants that Manchester has to offer, as well as exploring the Peak District with a hike and a well deserved pub lunch.

Manufacturing Shift Leader

As a company, we have worked with Amelia on many roles across our company and sites and across a very broad range of functional areas.
Amelia has an excellent ability to grasp the story behind our company and our recruitment needs, and hence the fit required both at company and at specific team levels.

This results in us receiving highly tailored, and hence highly appropriate, candidate shortlists, minimising the time and effort we need to allocate to the process.

From a personal perspective, Amelia is a pleasure to deal with. Communication is excellent, and Amelia always does what she says she is going to do (a rarity in recruitment!).  We certainly would always look to True North Talent for our recruitment needs – and Amelia will always be my first port of call.
