Meet your Consultant
Gaynor Sears, founder of Talent by Sears, providing a personal and consultative recruitment service to organisations across the social care sector. Always focussed on supporting the organisation’s growth and ensuring that recruitment is aligned with its wider business and care objectives, whilst managing the recruitment process and building teams that are committed to the people they support.
Recruitment in social care is about much more than simply filling vacancies. It’s about finding the right people, with the right values, to provide the right care.
My approach is personal, responsive, and consultative. I take the time to understand your organisation, your culture, and your recruitment needs, allowing me to match candidates who are not only suitably experienced, but are also a genuine fit for your organisation.
Whether you need support with a single hard-to-fill vacancy or ongoing recruitment, Talent by Sears can provide flexible recruitment support tailored to your organisation.
