Mitch started out in recruitment 29 years ago. He did the normal contingency agency role as Consultant, Manager then Troubleshooter (although not in that order) for a couple of the large national UK sales recruitment specialists before moving to Geneva, Switzerland. There he set up a different kind of search and selection business - one that focused on using creative recruitment communications as its primary source of recruiting local talent for the large local multinational businesses and which combined hard-nosed commercial consultancy with innovative recruitment marketing. That creative approach to recruitment advertising proved popular and further innovation followed in the shape of the region's first ever online candidate database web portal called virtualjobagency.com. On returning to the UK in 2005, he broadened his appreciation of corporate recruiting by working as an Interim Recruitment Manager for a number of large UK corporates, helping them to develop their direct sourcing and employment branding capabilities and filling jobs they and their external agency partners were struggling with. Today he plies his trade as a recruiter (servicing the SME sector) and coaching recruiters. His website can be found at www.fasttrackrecruitment.com.
