Celebrating Women in Sales & Recruitment!🙋♀️ This #InternationalWomensDay, let's celebrate the amazing women in sales and recruitment – an industry that is typically male dominated! Recruitment wasn't something I had considered after I left school due to the ‘boys club’ reputation. Fast forward- I'm a senior recruiter leading the US team, working for a female dominated business Equilibrium Recruitment Ltd, and I absolutely love my job! Now, I get to use my experience to build the confidence and encourage other women in their recruitment careers. 👭 I connect with amazing clients, many of them female-owned businesses or female leadership teams. It's a privilege to empower them with the talent they need to excel, while also helping women in sales and recruitment find their dream careers. 👩💻💵  Feeling under-valued or stuck?  ❌ Is your talent going unrecognised?  ❌ Waiting on that promotion you were promised last year?  ❌ Are you given unfair opportunities to progress? ❌ Expected to do more than your colleagues? ❌ Paid unfairly? - Let’s chat! 📲 Don't settle for a company that doesn't value your potential!  Let's continue to build a more inclusive industry where talent thrives, regardless of gender 👫 #WomenInSales #WomenInRecruitment #BreakTheBias #SupportFemaleBusinesses #womensday2024

Building a strong professional presence online is important for the career advancement of women. LinkedIn the world's largest professional networking platform, provides opportunities for women to highlight their accomplishments, connect with industry leaders, and access resources for ongoing development. I've written a blog about how ambitious women leaders can use LinkedIn effectively, turning it into a valuable tool for advancing their careers.

Cynics will say that LinkedIn is a vapid echo chamber of self-congratulation. And if you’re only using it to announce your latest career move or an award you’ve won, that’s probably true. But when used correctly, LinkedIn can be a powerful tool to help you build a personal brand, make meaningful connections, and absorb new perspectives from interesting people. Women in particular stand to benefit. As we all know, boardrooms, workplaces and even LinkedIn are dominated my male voices. LinkedIn offers a chance for women to strategically spotlight their professional achievements, insights and ambitions. It can feel awkward and even embarrassing to begin using this platform to speak up and standout. But be brave and persevere! When done right, it’s worth it. Curious but not totally convinced? Head over to this brilliant blog written by Michelle Redfern where she puts forward a convincing case for using LinkedIn to your advantage. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g__5gXzy #LinkedIn #PersonalBrand #ThoughtLeadership #WomenAtWork #CareerTips

Did you know that imposter syndrome often keeps qualified women from applying for roles they're perfect for? As a SaaS Recruiter, I've witnessed this first-hand, and it's time to address it head-on. 👩💻💪 I took on the challenge for a $12B IT services client – finding a female leader for a 100% male financial services team. Instead of waiting for responses to the advertised role, the company needed to actively seeking out remarkable women who might not have applied due to imposter syndrome. Fast forward two years and more women contribute to the business, breaking gender barriers. What's even more gratifying? My candidate, a trailblazer in a male-dominated environment, was successful and promoted for her outstanding contributions. 🌟 Ultimately, diversity helps industries thrive. It's not just about filling roles and ticking boxes; it's about creating environments where everyone can shine. As a Recruiter, I'm committed to bridging this gap and empowering talented women. Let's continue this conversation!
