HR is the enemy! It’s crazy that most people entering recruitment are taught that HR are “gatekeepers” and HR are fundamentally the enemy. What a load of rubbish! In my experience, I've been fortunate to collaborate with exceptional HR specialists at top firms. I firmly believe in working hand in hand with HR professionals. Their passion for enhancing employee welfare and fostering opportunities is truly inspiring. At Rhythm Careers we will always thrive on partnering with businesses that prioritise their employees' well-being, growth and equal opportunities to all. I’ll be honest…. If you are not very good at your job, and don’t care about your candidates and clients alike then yes, great HR and TA people won’t want to talk to you. I'd like to acknowledge some outstanding HR and talent individuals in architecture whom I've had the pleasure of working with, like Stephanie Warner Chartered MCIPD, Eve Denney , Manuela Soares, Emma Shaw, Kester Withams Tina Connell, Gemma Francis , Aleksandra Paduch, Yvonne Mathurin and Malaïka Sellen-Férère, Yasmin Khodaie; your dedication is commendable. I love working with you all!!! Sometimes great people move on. Sometimes out of architecture and therefore out of my space to communicate with them anymore. I am always gutted when this happens. Emma Shaw; I wish you well in your new role. Architecture’s loss is surveying’s gain. #hrisgreat #architecturehrnetwork #architecture #recruitwithrhythm

Hello, LinkedIn! I spend a lot of time in my head reflecting. Mostly on what really makes things work, and problems I can solve. This morning I wanted to share a sentiment that is becoming more and more prevelent as I make my next moves: I am not in the real estate business, the construction business, or any traditional industry per se. I am, fundamentally, in the people business. My vision transcends the conventional boundaries of employment. It's not just about filling positions or meeting quotas; it's about discovering the unique passions and missions that ignite each individual. My goal is to revolutionize the employment landscape by creating opportunities that resonate on a personal level with people who care deeply about what they do. I am on a mission to change the way employment works. It's about matching the right person with the right role, yes, but it goes deeper. We're committed to finding passion projects for our team members, to aligning their professional journeys with missions that stir their souls. This approach has not only transformed the workplace into a thriving community of motivated individuals but has also propelled the company to new heights, and ambitions. I believe that when people are given the chance to work on what they are truly passionate about, the results are extraordinary. They bring a level of energy, creativity, and dedication to their roles that can't be matched by mere job satisfaction. This belief is what drives me every day to look beyond the resume, to see the potential for greatness in every person, and to create an environment where that greatness can flourish. Our journey is about creating a legacy of meaningful work, of building a future where every individual can say with confidence, "I am doing exactly what I was meant to do." This is the future I envision, and I invite the brave to join me. This hasn't been easy. Not for me, or anyone that's been a part of what I'm building. The missed marks, the empty envelopes, and the dead ends that don't let you turn back test resilience in a way that seems inhumane. But, this is what I'm doing. This is what I was meant to do. #PeopleBusiness #PassionProjects #ChangingEmployment #Leadership #VisionaryThinking
