Talent Specialist - Tech & Data
What areas do you look after?
I work within the Business Support team and I recruit within the Tech and Cyber space.
Tell us about you and your Admiral story?
I joined Admiral in February 2022 after working in external recruitment. I started recruiting for Pioneer and then soon moved over to Admiral Money. After 1 year I made a big change and now my focus sits within the Tech and Cyber space. I have learnt so much already and can’t wait to see where I am in a years’ time.
Why would you recommend Admiral?
I knew I wanted to work for Admiral very early on in my career, just purely off their glowing reviews and reputation. Little did I know that’s just the surface! The culture is second to none, I have never worked somewhere that cares and respects their employees as much as Admiral do. I constantly recommend Admiral to my friends and family, and some have even taken the step and joined!
