Meet the Team – Lauren Murray, Managing Director
What brought you to recruitment?
I was working at the reception of an agency and loved the hustle and bustle of the place and everything that came with recruitment. I started working for a recruitment company but essentially was working really hard for someone else vision and I had my own. Company Culture has a lot to do with it, I almost gave up on recruitment at one point. I realised (luckily for the rest of us) that it was the company dynamic I didn’t like. So…I created my own.
It gets difficult and there will always be challenges to face but I love it! I put my heart and soul into what I do every day, to make the company culture I wanted.
What do you specialise in?
I am a people person! I love engaging with people and bringing solutions to their problems. I will always go above and beyond to provide the best service. Even helping with things outwith our areas of business. I like to help!
What is your biggest flaw?
Talking!
I talk too much which I suppose goes hand in hand with what I do…but I do go off track sometimes!
What has been your biggest career highlight so far?
Opening the business! We are reaching our 10 year birthday this year! I genuinely enjoy my work. I think everyone would always say if I could be doing anything id be a billionaire and lying on a beach but when it comes to reality I am definitely doing what I want to do.
After a stressful day, you find yourself with an hour of spare time on your own – what do you choose to do?
Probably exercising! It gives me a buzz…I love it, but it’s low on my list with having the kids.
Who is your idol?
Oh! Eh…
I don’t actually like to focus on external factors. I focus on whats going on with me & I know how I want my life to be.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Face your problems head-on! Too often I let challenges I had, drag on and just procrastinate …but the problems are always still there. So just get it done!
