Name: Sophie Hardy
Role: Recruitment Consultant
Joined MorePeople: September 26
What inspired you to join MP? The endless opportunities to grow and progress in my career. Recruitment has always been an industry that caught my eye as I’ve always wanted to work with people and helping others motivates me to work harder. The great thing about MorePeople is that they offer specialist consultants, meaning we have the chance to develop in-depth industry knowledge in very defined sectors. This means that when you have your speciality, we can build those relationships and help candidates and clients even more so than a typical recruiter.

What do you love most about recruitment? That at the core value, it’s about trying your hardest and getting the opportunity to be rewarded for your hard work. The added benefit to that is we get to help people every single day and build relationships with people you never thought you would meet.
What is the worst job you ever had?I have only ever had one job as I managed to get the opportunity to progress in the business from the age of 16 but, when I started as a waitress definitely the worst part of the job was doing pot wash and polishing the cutlery.
