Hi, I’m Andrew. I work as a Resourcing Business Partner for ROI & NI, which in simple terms means I spend my days helping people and teams find the right match. I like to make the hiring process feel straightforward and human — less stress, more clarity. I’m the one connecting the dots, keeping things moving, and making sure managers and candidates enjoy the journey.
Before joining Specsavers, I spent around five years in the recruitment world, covering both the IT and construction sectors. Those years taught me how to work with all sorts of people, from software developers to site managers, and gave me a solid understanding of what makes a good hire — not just on paper, but in real life. That experience is a big part of how I work today: practical, people‑focused, and always looking for the right fit rather than just filling a vacancy.
In my current role, I’m heavily focused on building strong relationships with both hiring managers and candidates. I like taking the time to understand what people really need — whether it’s a team looking for their next great additionor a candidate searching for the right place to grow. For me, recruitment is all about the human side of things.
Outside of work, football is a big part of my life. I watch it, play it regularly, and it’s the thing that helps me switch off and stay active. It’s a simple balance to the pace of work and something I genuinely enjoy.
