Sales takes mental strength, sometimes with life's bumps along the way it all gets a bit much. We recognise that sometimes you need some extra TLC & have created our culture around the balance.

I started in recruitment with no idea what recruitment was if I am honest, as soon as I understood the fundamentals I was hooked! My journey was not streamlined, I have had to work hard & it took a lot of persistence & resilience in the beginning which is something I now look for in new recruits. Working for over a decade in the industry my sector has probably seen the most changes throughout the years & being part of a bigger group has enabled us to adapt where required. My sector is generally more fast paced & high intensity which I really enjoy as the atmosphere in the office can be electric at times, the competition is real!. I treat the office as I would my football team, we are a team, we win together & celebrate each others success.
Favourite thing about T27: seeing people that struggle in the beginning turning that corner & becoming truly successful both inside & outside of work.
What I look for in new team members:
A strong work ethic & ambition
Goal in 2024:
to grow the various FE teams at Talent Twenty Seven and to work with our consultants to enhance their skills, making them more versatile and successful recruiters.

After working in recruitment for over a decade I still get a huge amount of satisfaction. I really enjoy constantly dealing with new challenges & watching the atmosphere suddenly elevate in the office when deals start flying in, especially on a Friday where all the hard work during the week comes to head! I’m known for being the “positive one” (for most of the time), & truly believe this is a fundamental attribute to achieving in this industry. It is tough to succeed & there’s lots of ups & downs, but staying positive & focussed on your goal are key. I enjoy being part of a culture that is so free from the sales environments of old, wellbeing & support is paramount in Talent 27, together with the collective identity of hard working & humble employees makes it a culture I love being a part of.
Favourite thing about T27: Its such an open space where people feel they can be their true selves
What I look for in new team members:
An honest hunger to succeed, a relentless work ethic, a desire to learn & a humble attitude. Someone who is resilient & will keep pushing to achieve their goal regardless of hurdles they face. Someone who wants to be part of a team but also wants to be individually brilliant. Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously & always sees the cup as half full.
Goal in 2024:
To start and develop new divisions in T27 whilst considerably growing existing parts of the business, offering more opportunities to our employees.

Having lived in UAE, USA & the Philippines, I grew up in an international school environment & have a front row insight into the international sector. I love the challenge of sending people abroad to places they have never been & sharing their experiences in a new school.
International Education can be tricky with a lot of moving parts but is also extremely rewarding when everything comes together! Our environment at T27 gives everybody the opportunity to work in their own way & encourages us to root for one another regardless of what sector you work for.
I speak 3 languages, food-obsessed & known to be “the feeder” of the office.
Favourite thing about T27: We have such a diverse group of individuals who all have the ability to shine.
What I look for in new team members: Good work ethic & drive to succeed
Goal for 2024:
To grow international team into new divisions and place a teacher in every continent this year

Prior to moving to T27 in the summer of 2022 I had nearly 9 years of recruitment experience & still enjoy the buzz of being in the office around other consultants. I am a big advocate of working hard & believe it’s the best way to get results.
As a team leader my goal is to help other consultants achieve their goals both inside & outside of work.
Favourite thing about T27: My favourite thing about T27 is the office spaces that have been created for consultants. They are big, open & modern spaces that make you want to come to work!
What I look for in new team members: Positive attitude & work ethic. Anybody can excel in recruitment with these two attributes. Goal in 2024
To have a top performer in the business in my team and to grow our team even further

Born in Stoke and made in recruitment.
Nearly 10 years in the industry, its been a rollercoaster of a ride and I would do it all over again! Recruitment has given me the opportunity to be myself and its a career that has no limits and worth the hard work.
I’m proud to say I’m part of T27 and being a Leading consultant hope I have inspired other individuals within the group. Watching consultants progress through promotions has been great to see and I love to support them.
Favourite thing about T27: Creating memories & the freedom to be yourself.
What I look for in new team members: An individual with a point to prove. The mentality to win but can bounce back from a defeat. Goal in 2024:
To get one or two members of my team on the Vegas trip.

Started recruitment 3 years ago & never looked back. Made some friends for life along the way & been able to grow as an individual day by day. The job has created opportunities I never thought I would have. Every day is different & the office environment is class. Let’s get Bristol to the top again!
As a team leader my goal is to help the team develop themselves into great consultants & top billers. There is no point in one person being successful & not the team.
Favourite thing about T27: Offers & opportunity to meet new people & make bonds you wouldn’t have thought you would in the past.
What I look for in new team members:
Motivated by success & resilient. Someone who is confident in themselves & has clear goals in life. Something to work towards.

Favourite thing about T27: Having met with everyone at Talent 27, I would say my favourite things is how fantastic everyone is and I think it’s great how everyone brings their own unique personalities & skills to the table.
What I bring to T27 I hope to bring enthusiasm, positivity & the ability to support my colleagues.
Promoting wellbeing can help prevent stress & create positive working environments where individuals & organisations can thrive. Good health and wellbeing can be a core enabler of employee engagement & organisational performance.
Workplace Wellbeing Index reported that 70% of employees say they have experienced poor mental health because of work. My aim is to make sure, as a company, we are striving to do everything we can to reduce the key factors that can contribute to poor mental health.
I aim to bring a non-judgemental approach that supports to self-identify ways to improve mental; and physical health, alongside the stress’ of managing a work life balance.
Goal in 2024:
Encouraging everyone to get more active in a way that suits them.

Favourite thing about T27:
Talent 27 has given me a career to be really proud of, it has given me the opportunity to grow as a person professionally and personally which I’m really grateful for. I’m also grateful to have been with the company since its earlier stages, seeing it grow and continue to grow almost month by month! I’ve made some lifelong friends through the company and work along the way who I value massively and which I feel is really important, because if you’re working with people and seeing them all the time you want to be with good people and that’s why our culture and who is on our team is so important to us, I see that and really like that.
What I look for in new team members:
Personality traits that align with our culture, dedicated, hardworking, and a team player. Ego’s left at the door and an open mindedness and willingness to learn is an absolute essential. In recruitment you don’t need to be academic, you just need to have the discipline, resilience and determination to keep coming back for more when it inevitably gets tough (especially at the start) and that’s 100% what I look for in new recruits, success leaves clues and the T27 top billers all have these traits!
Goal in 2024
Again to continue to learn and grow as a person in work and personal life, surround myself with more successful people and try to make the decisions and choices of a successful person every single day. Continue to help drive the growth of Talent27 putting forward suitable candidates for all the offices and providing a professional and streamlined experience for the candidate and Directors. My fitness and healthy life habits & goals never change, I will always strive for more with those and ultimately a goal to be happy is always so important otherwise everything else is pointless.

“Being a leader is like being a lady. If you have to remind people you are, you aren’t.”
Well said, Maggie!
Another, "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, & become more, you are a leader." Whilst titles confirm leadership they don't bestow it, so I am not one for a job title! I believe your actions will define you, there is no reason an associate can not beat a senior here. I began my recruitment journey in 2008 at 22. Nothing is ever as hard as it is when you start & I definitly cried in my first week! it took hard work & to be honest sacrifice, missing out on friends birthdays, holidays, travelling etc to get to the top but I enjoyed the autonomy & competitiveness & still do. Being a male dominated industry I also had a point to prove! We wouldn't ask you to do anything we wouldn't do here- including taking out the bins! & that is how we are at T27 one team. Recruitment is no ones "dream job" but it can give you the freedom to have a "dream life" & It can be a lot of fun along the way! I personally value the freedom & independence it gives & hope to inspire others in any capacity because if I can do it you certainly can. My role now is a lot of decision making, always with you & the growth of the business in mind. We want a structure that enables you to achieve success quickly & provides a working environment that both challenges & supports you whilst remaining fun! After all, we spend most of our life at work! You will often find me floating about the offices, my advice to anyone, look for opportunities to lead, don’t wait for someone to bring them to you. What needs to be done in the business? What problems need solutions? What opportunities could be seized? What could be improved? Initiative is a pre-requisite to effective influence. Look around. Pay attention. Get involved. There are no boardrooms or glass doors, have an idea or thought - tell us!
Favourite thing about T27:
Watching people grow up & live their version of success.
What I look for in new team members: What is your why?
Goal in 2024:
To try & wean myself off Eton mess candy kittens!
