Rachel Fox - Director

CV:

In the very early years whilst at University I funded my course by working within numerous positions - selling programs at Kettering Football Club, and bringing luck to Kettering by working on the lottery counter in the local supermarket, working in a petrol station and pursuing an apprenticeship in the Photographic department of the Evening Telegraph! (My plan to be the next Anne Leibovitz did not work out!). My first full-time position and a taste of the sales industry - Selling Classical Sheet Music at Oxford University Press.

Professional Career:

I started my professional career in recruitment at an IT consultancy based in Milton Keynes. A few years later I was invited to head up the resource management team at media giant Bertelsmann AG in London, recruiting IT personnel for UK and Ireland Bertelsmann owned companies (Freemantle Media, BMG Records, Sonopress and Random House). In 2001, after gaining both resource management and recruitment experience, I returned to Northamptonshire to set up a recruitment business that would use this knowledge and offer more......Friendly People Recruitment Ltd was born! One part of my career I am very proud of is being voted one of Recruiter Magazines “top 20 Billers in the UK” in 2005 and in 2010 opened the doors to the new generation of recruitment high street branches in the lovely market town of Rothwell, Northamptonshire – The Recruitment Bar! My vision is clear in terms of the direction for the business and our consultants know what level of service we need to provide to achieve this - candidates and clients require the best service, and that is the only level I will accept for them. A jobseeker needs a consultant that will assist them in finding work, that will coach them through the process and provide them with just enough advice to perform to the best of their ability. Our clients need support to ensure that the personnel they recruit will assist them to grow their business and add value" Rachel Fox, 2017.
