It’s been quite the journey!

“Having graduated with a 1st in History, one thing I knew was that I didn’t want to do a masters, and I didn’t want to be a teacher!

I saw an advert in the local press (that’s right, it was 2005!) for a role that advertised the opportunity to learn new skills, network, build relationships and even earn some commission – I applied, interviewed, was successful and haven’t looked back.

I began my career in graduate recruitment and then 13 years ago took the plunge and transitioned into HR, now I am incredibly proud to be Gattaca’s Chief People Officer. It’s been quite the journey!”

Claire, Chief People Officer

I was thrilled to be appointed as Head of ED&I for Gattaca

“After working closely with our clients on their ED&I goals for the last year, I was thrilled to be appointed as Head of ED&I for Gattaca.

I now lead on positive changes for our colleagues, as well as the communities and partnerships we support.

My key focus in my role is to make sure we create a safe and inclusive workspace for everyone to thrive but also; to continue to work closely with our clients to open talent pools and break down barriers for underrepresented groups”

Annabel, Head of ED&I

I was able to take control of my career and passions and move internally

“After working closely with the HR team with one of our key engineering accounts, I found I had an interest in recruiting HR and ED&I for our clients.

I was able to take control of my career and passions and move internally from Matchtech to Barclay Meade and focus on this area.

My favourite part of my role is getting to build relationships across our business whilst supporting my candidate and client communities.

I have a newfound confidence in what I do

“I have been with Gattaca for 9 years now, it was my first office job following University and my role has certainly evolved a lot since joining.

I started as a Resourcer in the sales side of our business, but always had a feeling that maybe it wasn’t a long-term career path for me. Having the opportunity to move into our Talent Acquisition team has highlighted a number of skills I never knew I had, or just never had to utilise in my previous role.

I have a newfound confidence in what I do and really feel I can add value to this business.”

Grace, Talent Acquisition Team Lead

I can’t thank Gattaca enough for helping me develop in my career

" When I joined the Matchtech team, I came from a background completely different to recruitment.

I had been in the Trade for over 8 years, initially working in Australia. I decided that this was not the career I wanted, and had friends that found success in recruitment, so I thought why not give it a shot.

Since then I have not looked back - the training was top tier from the very start, and I can’t thank Matchtech enough for helping me develop in my career ever since.

I have managed to secure 3 promotions since then, and have been lucky enough to go on 2 “all expense paid” holidays from our incentive schemes"
