Periscope Talent
| Freelance & Fractional Talent Acquisition Partner |
Helping SMEs & Charities Find Talented People & Build Stronger Teams — without big‑agency fees!
I’m an independent Talent Acquisition Partner based in Surrey specialising in hiring across Sales, Marketing, PR, Events, Media & Client Services. I support SMEs and charities to find talented people and build stronger teams, with a cost-effective approach focused on maximising value, not spend.
Rather than operating as a contingency recruitment provider, I offer embedded and fractional hiring support for HR Managers, Founders/Owners and growing organisations, alongside targeted headhunting and retained search for business-critical and hard-to-fill roles. Unlike traditional agencies, I work with a small number of clients at any one time, enabling a genuinely bespoke, flexible and high-quality hiring partnership.
My support is particularly valuable when:-
You are investing time in direct hiring but not seeing the quality, volume or consistency of candidates you need
Your in-house HR/TA team gets stretched during busy periods, but you do not need an extra permanent full-time inhouse headcount
You have multiple or ongoing roles to fill, but want a more cost-effective alternative to fee-per-hire contingency models, & a stronger focus on long-term talent pipeline building
You’re finding candidates, but offers are being declined or new hires aren’t staying long-term – creating ongoing hiring challenges
You have a critical, confidential, or hard-to-fill role where a more targeted, proactive search approach is needed, but budgets just don’t stretch to the large executive search firms
If you recognise these challenges, I can step in to provide flexible, expert support – without the overheads of a traditional recruitment agency, large search firm or the cost of a full-time in-house recruiter. I work closely with you in a purposeful and hands-on way – moving beyond “post and hope” to a more targeted and intentional approach to hiring.
My focus is simple: helping you find the right people – not just the available ones, in a way that delivers real value without unnecessary cost.
